My baby was born at November 22 , 2011 !!!

A midwife put a name tag on my arm in the hospital like this picture.

Is that same as Japan? I thought I became like a new born baby(*^_^*)

This is an entonox machine ( gas and air ). I used it around ... 20 hours.too long...

The room that was for labor was big and simple .
I sometimes should sit and move on the balance ball . But I couldn't leave the entonox.

I broke the water at 22:00 , November 20 at home. And my husband and I went to the hospital around 23:00. But a midwife said we should go back to home and taking a bath , and rest . She said same things tree times so we went back...　Actually my contractions were about 5 to 8 minutes apart. It was very hard to walk during the contractions.

And then we went to the hospital again around 7:30 am of the next day.
After that my labor was getting strong but that was in the first stage. So I took an injection that was a kind of pain relief twice. That injection was working.

And then ... I spent very long time in the room.
At first I wanted to deliver in a water , like to take a bath. But I couldn't do that.

When I spent around 24 hours after I broke the water, a doctor said I should take a ecbolic.
She also said the labor will be more strong.
Oh no.. I need an epidural !!! I asked her... actually my husband was my interpreter so he asked her...

And then I took them at 22:30 , Nov. 21  and ... waited for the time to deliver around 7 hours.
Maybe I slept. I don't remember...

And then , finally my baby was born at  6:31 , Nov. 22.

She was 2920g . She got some scars because of forceps.

She was really small and cute♪

She is 3 months old now. She already cannot wear this clothes.

I took almost every pain reliefs that I could take but everything is free. Obviously, giving a birth also free. That was good♪

I had a very treasured experience. She is my best cute treasure♪
