My Miracle birth
Since I was pregnant, Philip gave me this testimonial book called 'miracle childbirth', this book is about a testimonial of this lady who gave birth naturally and without pain bacause she and her husband had been claiming God's promises that we are no longer under the curse...This book had inspired me so much, I had been praying for my labour also to be fast and natural...
As me and Philip had to speak for the relationship seminar in the church on the 26th of August, we had been telling our baby in my tummy to wait and not to come out before that day...(I was 38 weeks on that day)...
On the 28th of August before we slept, we both felt that we were ready for the baby to be born, we prayed that night for the Lord to choose the right time for the baby to be delivered..
I was awaken that morning at 1.30am with a contraction...The contraction was still very weak, I didn't feel any pain but it was regular about 10 minutes apart...I woke Philip up at 3.30am and told him, it might be the time...he was very excited and asked me to call the hospital...the midwive asked me to keep timing the contraction and to call back when it was about 5 minutes apart...we both very excited, philip prayed for covering for me and the baby so we would have a smooth and fast delivery...I couldn't sleep that night, so I decided to get ready, I took a bath, had some meal and prepared my hospital bag....
At 8.30am, the contration became longer with 5 minutes interval, so I called the hospital, the midwife asked me to come in to be examined...
At 9am, I was only 2cm dilated, the midwife told me to go around to the hospital cafe and come back at 12pm, that's when the Dr will be there...
So we went around the hospital, I still can smile and laugh as the contration hasn't been painful...We decided to came back to the birthing room at 10.30am as my mum came to bring us some food...
My contraction became stronger, at 12pm, I was crying out for some pain relieve, but when the midwife came, she told us that I was already fully dilated and ready to push...It was a very fast process, I started pushing at 12pm, when the Dr came, he could already seen the baby's head... and the baby came out at 12.42pm...Our beautiful gift from God, we called him Jason which mean healer (from greek word), weight at 2.97g and 48cm (which is very good considering I got gestational diabetes)....
