Its been exactly a week and a day since I gave birth. It feels great. I swear, It feels so good to be a mother. I guess thats how first timers feel.

So...labour... hmm...now I really understand what my momma went through..I swear, after giving birth, my level of respect for mothers are way way higher than I had for them. I didnt know it was that hard but hey they went through it and well its an experience every woman should have.

I was back in Kb when i started feeling pain. Can you believe it?...I couldnt sleep anymore and so my hubby decides to drive to JPMC at like 1am?.. 1AM?... what the hell was he thinking?... but anyway.. after a long convincing from my hubby, I decided to go as well. We arrived at the hospital at around 2:30am.. my contractions were not "normal" yet..so the midwives checked if I was really in labour and well, I was alrady 3cm open. So..with that, they didnt let me go home. By 8am, the doctor checked up on me and well by 9am, she decides to give me an injection that would make my contractions to either stop or be more normal. But my contractions went to normal and well by noon I was open at 6cm..they brought me to the delivery room. The pain, the torture without any kind of drugs or epidural. it hurt but my hubby was with me the whole time. *thank GOD for good husbands*. We were actually estimating for me to give birth at around 5 or 6pm but by 4:03pm I gave birth to a very healthy baby boy, we named him CALEB ALEXANDER.

so. a week later, im back in front of my computer, telling the whole world about my labour experience. I reckon, to everyone who hasnt gone through pregnancy, well they should try it at least once.. and go for normal delivery rather than a c-section. I mean, c-section would be painful after birth but normal is pain all the way but everything goes away once you see the baby. A baby is really a bundle of joy.
