Sweet beginnings !

So here's my birth story which I have been wanting to write for so long but never tried to..

I am an amateur blogger and this is my first blog ever. So kindly bear with me. Grab a bite, sit back and have a good read.. :)

Like every other girl, I was always scared of the labour process ever since I was told stories about it from the women who experienced it. I had no idea how my body would react under extreme pain and pressure. But still I preferred a normal delivery over C-section because of the post natal health benefits associated with it. So I started to gather knowledge about the latest pain relief methods from my friends who just delivered lately. From them, I got to know about epidural. I had my pregnancy check ups in Chennai until 8 months. In November 2017, I moved to my mom's place where I was supposed to deliver my first child. My mom, through her contacts,had chosen a doctor who was known for her excellency in gynecology. I was totally blank about how I would cope up with the new doctor as I did not have enough time to build a good rapport with her. But she seemed to be skilled and experienced. So I left the rest to the Almighty and was enjoying the last month of pregnancy with mom. 

In the hospital, there were too many posters all over about painless delivery and epidurals. Whenever I went for check ups, it caught my attention but I did not bother to talk about it to my doctor as I know I will have enough time and will be given a chance to know what options are available for pain management and which one I can opt for once my contractions start. 

Meanwhile, I read about epidural,the effects of it and disadvantages which gave me a better idea and I got convinced that it was worth a try.

I had a healthy pregnancy. I made sure I was at peace, avoided stress, ate healthy, satisfied my cravings and did things I wanted to without hesitation. I was even driving on my own until 8 months inspite of the traffic in Chennai though few of my family members felt it was risky. So I had positive vibrations that my baby will come through happily on earth from the heavens :) My due date was given on December 15th 2017 but I did not feel anything until 9th. I went for my regular check up and doctor asked me to come on 14th to induce pain if the contractions do not start on its own. 

On the night of 9th, I felt unusual and took trips to the loo every now and then. 

Early in the morning, I spotted blood with mucus that is when I informed mom about it. She had the hospital kit packed way earlier. After informing my husband over the phone, mom and I started to the hospital as early as we could. Contractions started lighter and were in the interval of 20 to 25 mins. Around 8 am, I was taken to the labour room. The duty doctor did an internal examination and said my water hasn't broken yet. I was given IV and shifted to room. By then, all of my relatives had arrived and they were excited enough awaiting the good news. Contractions started developing and I had the sensation of vomiting whenever a contraction came. Mean while, my husband and mom asked me if I am sure of handling the labour pain. And I decided to go for an epidural as I did not want to take any chances because I had no idea about the intensity of pain that would come after. One good reason that I chose epidural was that I wanted to actively participate in the birth process instead of lying down on the table unconscious and unbearable of the pain that will take over everything else. By the time the epidural was administered, I had severe contractions in frequent intervals. I was taken to the labour room after that. In sometime, my water broke with full force but from the faces around, I could realize something wasn't right. There was meconium(baby's first poop) in the amniotic fluid. Since I was given epidural, doc wanted to wait for few more hours to see how I am progressing. Epidural started working slowly and I felt lesser pain in the lower part of my body. My contractions were coming every 1 min and I felt like pushing. The nurses told me not to but it was out of control so I kept on pushing with all my strength.

There was this junior nurse who stood by my side throughout pacifying me that it's going to be alright soon. I held her hands tightly as if I had known her for a long time and felt much better that I had a support system. Almost squeezed her hands when I got contractions now and then. 

Hours went by and he wasn't ready to come yet. I had the NST(Non Stress Test) belt wrapped around my tummy to check the baby's heart beat, Blood pressure equipment attached and epidural catheter at the back. I  wasn't allowed to lie on sides as the baby's heart rate will slow down. I was exhausted with everything going on. Mom and mother in law were allowed inside twice to come in and see me for mental support. Mom couldn't hold back her tears seeing me struggling and pushing harder. 

At around 5 am, the chief doctor was expected to arrive as I was nearing the climax. The nurses were asked to keep things ready to welcome the baby. She arrived and told me to give a push with all my strength. I did but no luck because the baby's head was estimated to be larger than the normal, thanks to the scan reports. My anesthetist sat on the bed near me and pushed with all the force but still he dint show up. Finally the doctor decided to do it using forceps.

For one last time, I cried out and pushed, the nurse pushed, the doctor took his head out using forceps and there he was! Descending down on earth like an angel.! My precious little baby boy weighing 4.2 kgs at the time of birth! 

That was it ! 

That was one unforgettable, life changing moment for me!!

That was the moment I felt proud of myself in delivering a little human !!!

Everyone else including the doctor was shell shocked and surprised because we weren't expecting him to be bigger. 

I do not know how it would have been possible delivering a bigger baby without epidural. The baby was monitored in ICU for a day in the event of fetal distress! There were mixed comments from my circle saying it wasn't right to have waited for so long as the baby would have had distress due to meconium released inside. The other side saying it would have ended up in C-section if not the choice of epidural was opted. 

All I knew was that the doctor was skilled enough to assess all of it and take a risk and was experienced in doing a forceps delivery. 

Above all of it, Allah, the Almighty decided it to happen this way against all odds! 

When Umar was born, the mother in me was born too!

Here we are, mother and baby hale and healthy, my little cub exploring life in his very own way! It surely is a life altering experience for every woman irrespective of what type of delivery she goes through! 

So let us stop judging, respect every mother's decision and celebrate them every day! ️:)

One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman !

More power to all the women ! :)

What Does An Anomaly Scan Reveal And Why Is It Important?

Anomaly scan: An important diagnostic test to ensure a healthy, normal fetus

The Anomaly scan marks an important milestone in the middle stages of pregnancy. Taken during the 18th-20th week of gestation, this ultrasound scan is done to determine the structural development of the fetus. The procedure is painless, simple, and lasts for around 15-20 minutes. It may seem like a small procedure, but the radiologist takes enough images and measurements to rule out a big list of abnormalities in the growing fetus.

The anomaly scan is a precautionary measure that is recommended by most obstetricians. In Chennai, this ultrasound is available in most private and government clinics and diagnostic centres. The anomaly scan rate in Chennai may vary marginally because there are multiple factors that determine the cost.

Important observations made in an anomaly scan

The images of an anomaly scan will reveal the fetus inside the womb. As a cardinal rule, the radiologist will take measurements of:

The circumference of the head(HC)

The circumference of the abdomen(AC)

The length of the femur or thigh bone(FL)

These measurements should conform to the expected measurements as per the stage of growth.

The radiologist will then check for the level of amniotic fluid and the location of the placenta. The placenta will be described as a “low-lying placenta” if it is positioned very low or covers the mouth of the uterus. The placenta’s position will be assessed again in the third trimester.

The other important observations include:

Shape and structure of the baby’s head.

The length and cross-section of the spine are checked for bone alignment and the normalcy of the skin that covers the back.

The abdominal wall is checked to see if it covers all the internal organs.

The heart is checked to ensure the normalcy of its size and the presence of the four valves and the way they function.

The size and functioning of the kidneys are also assessed.

Checking for the size of the upper and lower limbs.

Abnormalities that could be possibly revealed in an anomaly scan 

Not all structural abnormalities can be revealed in an anomaly scan. Some abnormalities can be detected only at later stages, or they may develop at a much later stage. The position of the fetus will sometimes hamper the results of the scan. Hence, an anomaly scan is not 100% foolproof.

The following are the anomalies that could be detected in this ultrasound scan:

Spina bifida or defects in the spine.

Hydrocephalus or excess fluid within the brain.

Anencephaly or defectively formed skull.

Major kidney problems.

Limb anomalies

Diaphragmatic hernia.

Cleft lip and palate.

Examphalos

Gastroschisis

A fetal echocardiography might be taken to assess the functioning of the fetus’ heart. But most heart scans taken before birth do not reveal any problems.

Is it compulsory to have an anomaly scan

The anomaly scan is certainly advisable for the welfare of the baby and the mother. But the obstetrician will make it a mandatory procedure if:

The woman is carrying twins.

If the previous scan shows a low-lying placenta.

If the person has spotting or bleeding.

If the person has diabetes or hypertension.

If there is a history of premature labour or miscarriage.
