A start of a Motherhood...

It was a rainy day of July 29, 2006 when i gave birth to my angel Alynna. Around 3 A.M when I first felt the pain on my stomach but inspite of it, I continued to sleep not knowing that the pain I felt will be held to a so-called labor. (Who knows that this will be the start of my being a mother, because the last time I went for an Ultrasound, supposed to be my due date will be on the 2nd week of August, it will be still few days to go before my D-day).

After that time, I once again feel the pain but this time, the pain kept on striking very hard as if I'm having a dysmenorrheal, I went to CR to run pee , I was stunned when I saw some drops of blood, then I told to Peter what was going on me. He right away changed his clothes (as if he's the one to deliver the baby) and prepare himself going to the hospital. However, I was not sure if I'm going to give birth so since Peter is rushing me, then I finally prepared myself and told to my mother that I will be going to give birth and go to the hospital. Fortunately, I was with Peter and my mother on the way to the hospital, It was saturday morning and no heavy traffics had encountered that's why at around 6 A.M when we arrived at the hospital. I went to the labor room and waiting for the staffs what they gonna do to me. One guy came and did interview. He asked some questions about personal information, afterwards he brought a device (I remember it was a doppler device) to monitor and hear the heartbeat of the baby inside..He continued to use that while my stomach is getting more painful and another lady came.She said she have to measure my cervix, oh my god, I dont know what she's doing to me.. I asked if my OB is around already, but the lady said, she's on the way to the hospital. While we are waiting what to happen, Peter entered the room and sat beside of my bed, he hold my hand rigidly and he whispered me telling whatever happen he will be there for me and he loves me very much. Somehow, I feel relieved and secured. But as time passing by, my stomach is more and more painful until such time my OB finally arrived..She did IE again and found out anytime I could deliver the baby..She instructed Peter that he should go out of the labor room and they will bring me to the delivery room.

When I entered the delivery room everything are prepared and even I saw those nurses and doctors were there too..I felt mixed emotions like nervous, excited, tired or I was thinking if I can tolerate the pain and ashamed to widen my legs infront of the other people...Then when my OB told me to push, I remember what my mother told me that pushing is like you only go to.... (you know what i mean). I pushed twice then lastly the baby come out. Oh my god, thank you that i have gone through all the pain and here now i can see my first born baby, healthy and alive. She weighed 3.5 kgs and 51 cm in length. Her name is Alynna Marcie L. Stumpf, born in United Doctors Medical Center, Quezon City at around 9:07 A.M, July 29, 2006.
