A event in my life would have to be the birth of my oldest child. I was only 18 years old when I gave birth to my baby girl. I remember this day like it was yesterday. May 4, 2006, I was laying in my bed talking on the phone with my best friend Janice. We was having our normal girl talk when I start having bad abdominal pain. I was telling my friend how bad my cramps was, and she was telling me she think I should tell my mother so I can go to the hospital. But I thought I was a big girl and could handle the pain. I continue to talk on the phone and ignored the pain. The next thirty minutes I told my friend I would call her back because I couldn't take the pain. It was around 9:30p.m., I went into my mother room and told her I was having cramps and I think my baby might be coming. My mother then called my father and we walk to his house to meet him, so we could go to the hospital. The hospital was maybe a good ten blocks from my house. I wanted to walk so they woudn't turn me around if I wasn't dilated enough centimeters. We met with my father and we start walking to the hospital. We got down the street from the hospital and I couldn't walk any more. My father had to run inside the hospital to get a wheel chair. …show more content…
The nurse checked to see how many centimeters I was dilated. When she checked me I was 5cms. I was in active labor my baby heart rate was fine and she was breech. I was scared because I didn't want to have a c-section. The doctors came in to talk to me and my parents to explain what would happen if my daughter didn't turn
She checks me, and tracks my surges. My surges are not as frequent as earlier so she recommends for me to sit on the birthing ball. I sit up right on the birthing ball, and lean back on Poet for support and those surges are coming now. I tense up, and my midwife's assistant beautifully guides me through each surge, encouraging me to relax instead of tense up with each contraction. After a while of being on the birthing ball, I am guided to the bathroom, and I sit on the toilet for a few of the surges and finally I am ready to get in the tub and begin pushing. I felt like I was never going to meet our baby. I felt like our baby was
One of the most memorable moments in my life has to be when my grandaughter Aliana Marie Garcia was born. I had been waiting for her to come to this world for a whole nine months!. it was already a special day I held closely as my religion celebrates a special occasion on that day, it is called, "El Dia de Los Reyes", which is a special religious holiday in Mexican culture that is centered around small gifts for children. It was definitely a very wonderful surprise with the precious gift any person can obtain, the gift of life.
"Ok, Ms. Holst! You've been pushing for an hour and Kai is still yet to make his debut", explained Dr. Wright. "I know we discussed the fact that he is face up, making it a little more difficult for him to come out. What we are going to have to do is go ahead and prep you for a cesarean section." The sudden news caused my eyes to protrude out of my head. No words escaped my lips, but my mind was racing a mile a minute. I thought, "Why? No! I have been due for a natural birth for the past 4 months, and now I have to get a C-section?" I was beyond terrified! What if something goes wrong, I can die on the table!" Only then did I realize what I had gotten myself into.
Many events have occurred in my life, although a few have changed my life to how it is today. Growing up I realized how moving to Canada, coming to Milton and getting a baby sister are moments which have had a significant impact on my life. They showed me a completely different atmosphere, got my work recognized and made me more mature, thus, helping me get countless new opportunities and responsibilities.
I remember the day she born. I was nervous for the simple fact that my life would never be the same. Soon no longer would I be known as just Ayanna, I would take on a new title. A title that I would share with so many woman, and after eight long hours of labor, I would now be known to the world as mommy.
As a child I suffered an event that framed my life, a catastrophe that would change my life at least temporarily. This catastrophe changed things all around me, things in my family changed and things at home changed ever since that day. I remember we were all exited, we were going on a family vacation to different regions of Colombia.
So, I told my doctor I wanted to be induced. After all, my due date was only two weeks away and only five percent of women give birth on the day determined by their doctors. When I was finally there, I looked at the outside, the hospital was set in a suburban – like area, and when I went inside the building, I was in a welcoming ultramodern facility. I went straight to the labor and delivery section where they said my doctor had gone out of town; nobody believed that I was supposed to be induced that day. It took them like 15 minutes to confirm what I had told them, to finally decide to take me to a room to connect all kinds of tubes to my body. I went into the room; it looked very comfortable, but it was freezing. I lay on the typical hospital bed, one of those that make sleeping and resting easier.
The most memorable life event was when I first went to six flags, because its where kids and their family’s go to have a good time. They’re are rides, food, games, and etc. I remember that cold Thursday night. The wind was so strong that leaves and sticks were flying everywhere. I woke up the next day on Friday, I knew my mom was planning something, but I just didn’t know.
My dad had called my mom and explained the whole story so my mom freaked out and rushed over to the
Finally after 57 minutes of pushing and the doctor having to rotate her while inside me she was born. The second she was born she was passed to a NICU nurse and was wheeled off. I laid there wondering what was going on and if my little girl was ok. About 30 minutes later they brought her back into the delivery room where I was and told me she was born at 5:24 p.m., weighed 7 lbs 15 oz and was 21 inches long. The nurse told me once I was moved to my recovery room they would go over options with me regarding "Aniston's" health.
When I made it to the hospital, I figured they would just hook me up to the baby Doppler machine and check on him then send me on my way. Well, they told me I needed to be induced because his heart rate wasn’t stable. That day and night was so tough, and physically exhausting. Come to find out I’ve been experiencing labor for the past few days, but my body has difficulty dilating. March 3, 2016 early morning I experienced the worst pain in my life, at this moment I basically said “F” it give me that C-section, because we were getting
I am the third child out of four in my family, I have one older sister, an older brother and then a younger brother. I was born on January 20th 1997 in Clinton, Ontario. This means I was probably conceived the middle of May sometime. My mother did not take pre-natal pills before I was born because I was not really expected, but she was taking vitamins during this time to stay healthy. My mother did see our family physician while she was pregnant with me. She saw the doctor every month for the first and second trimester and then she saw him every other week in the last trimester. In these checkups they would see if I was gaining weight, check blood pressure, blood levels and just to see if everything was healthy. My mom did not have any screening tests done to see if there was anything wrong because it was not very common to get screening done in our
It was the happiest feeling that I have ever felt in my life, and as time came near for me to have my son the feeling became greater and greater. When I heard one of the nurses saying “Were ready, she’s now nine centimeters”, I began to get very anxious and excited at the same time. Although I was beginning to get happy I was still in disbelief as all of it was happening. I see the nurses preparing themselves. I just said to myself, “oh yeah its happening alright”. I was about to become a mother which was so unreal to me and nerve racking because I had no idea how to love or be mother. My heart became full of so many emotions, however the thought that dominated my mind was that I had to be the best mother I can be so my son could grow up and be the man he was destined to
An important moment in my life was when I overcame my shoulder injury. In December of 2014 I was playing in a soccer tournament and we were playing our last game 2-0. I remember it being cold that day and very windy outside and my whole family was there to see me play. The bleachers were full and all eyes were on me as I was running down the field to catch up to the girl with the ball. When I approached her, I took the ball and turned the other way and started dribbling down field towards the goal.
One of the most memorable days of my life is when my first child was born. All of my children were memorable but when I had the first child, I was still a child myself. I had helped with the raising of many other children in my very big family and helped tend the sick on all occasions. I knew very well how to care for babies and I had plenty of love to give her, but I worried that she would think I was not good enough to be her parent.
