Witness of natural birth..got me feeling emo..


It was late in the afternoon or shall we call it evening..the class was supposed to start at 1.30 pm but suddenly at about 330pm our teacher finally came..asked us to change and get ready to see a natural child birth..

and so we went up stairs,..while waiting,one lady was having cramps and it s painful because we can hear her moaning in pain.contractions in first period of birth activity(gosh i hope the terms are correct coz direct translations from russian lang)
for every 10 mins her contractions lasted for 15-20 seconds..but her cervix wasnt ready and it wasnt fully open..perhaps tht time when we were there it s only 3-4cm..

they fixed an ecg electrod to monitor the fetus s heart rate..
Then my teacher finally appear..and we went to the labour room..
Push mom push..hehehehe..
saw the head v tiny fine hairs in mucous like layers of fluids.
but the baby s head was lil too large..so snips oblique to enlarge the promeshnosti
then the baby s head is out but it s shoulder was stucked..using hands managed to get it out..then accidently the baby swallowed the amniotic fluid which was greenish due to perhaps chronic hypoxy or infections intraunterine..clamped the umbilical n cut it..

the mother was smiling..but the baby cried a little only..she s so beautiful and cute..took out the placenta and make sure it s whole..clean the baby girl and weighed it..3.1kg
i was really happy and joyful to witness such event..
