We continue with your stories of mothers, which bring us many moments for smile, tenderness and reflection. Today is María and Álvaro's turn. His mother tells us how it was the time of delivery, how the little boy arrived in this world, after waiting a few days.
A story that I hope will move you like me, because it is a moment and feelings that every mother will recognize. The first contractions, the doubts, the dilation, the pushes ... and the arrival of his little Álvaro who is already 6 months old.
After several months imagining what the time would be like when you would arrive in this world, afraid of not knowing how to differentiate the contractions, that something went wrong, that I was not able to give that last push to see your face ... but at the same time with So much spectacle and so many illusions, November 9 arrived, and when Mom went to bed about 1 in the morning she began to feel contractions.They were very irregular and I wasn't sure they were the real ones, so I tried to sleep, but I couldn't, and I chose to get up on the couch so as not to disturb Dad, I picked up a folio and pointed the minutes, 8 minutes, 4, 12 , 6, 19… So I stayed until 4 in the morning, that exhaustion took hold of me, and although not for a long time, because at 6 that pain woke me up again, I took it easy: I knew it was only the beginning of a great adventure, "the adventure of my life".
Dad had to go to work and at 17 hours I went to the shower to clear myself a little, when I went to get inside I noticed how a liquid ran through my legs. I hesitated a lot, because the contractions had ended around 1 pm, and since I had trouble believing that the day had arrived, I continued normally.The yaya, came to see me, with the idea of going for a walk to make your head was placed because you had already spent 4 more days inside me, when it arrived I explained it and very quietly I called daddy without knowing what to say. So much time imagining with what phrase it would surprise you to never forget it, and all I was able to tell you was that I thought I had broken waters, that I didn't know for sure, but that I came home.
Meanwhile, I prepared the bag and all that was missing, I left the bags next to the door and went for a walk. Dad took about 40 minutes to arrive, once we met we went to the hospital.
When I arrived it was 7 pm, they looked to see how everything was, and decided to take me to the room to see if the contractions returned. And what if they returned, and stronger, another night without being able to sleep, but there was little left and fatigue became illusion, Dad slept at times but the yaya was there with me, I did not leave a moment.At 8 in the morning they brought me down to the delivery rooms and put on my oxytocin, what a pain !! And to walk, hallway up, hallway down ... it was quite unbearable. At 4 in the afternoon they finally put the epidural, what an invention! The thing changed a lot, so I could run up to 100 meters smooth! It also helped me to expand faster, I was more relaxed and it showed.
At 6 pm the midwife told me: "Let's see, let's try to see how you would push," and there we stayed, for me it was the easiest of all, I knew that every push was a little step to meet you, I tried to make them long I was impatient to meet you.
At 18:27 on the 11th you were born and with you a mother was bornI don't know if good or bad, but a mother, who will be here for whatever you need. Many people criticize us because I sleep in your arms, in bed with me, because I do not let you cry, we take a nap together, I give you a tit whenever you want, without schedules and it seems that this is not done, everyone tells me “You will end repenting, "and I say," NO, I will never regret every second I spend with him. "
Today you are on your way to 6 months, and every morning I look at you and wish that time passes more slowly. I know it's not possible, I'm just glad to know we have a lot of time to be together.
