desperate to be laboring hard in the tub with an enourmous baby

moaning, panting, begging to push, until I start to feel the baby stretch me….

Morning thought;

I want to be swollen with your babies, moaning out in labor. Completely naked, just me and you. Birthing our babies in the water. Screaming with each push. 🤤

In the interest of procrastination - I should be calling students' parents to introduce myself at the beginning of the school year; or alternatively clearing up supper

Here's Blaze's birth story

I had been having prodromal-type labor on and off for a week already. The 8th grade yearbook had to be in at the printer by 5pm Friday in order to have it at graduation. (I was also giving a math final that coming Tuesday that I hadn't made up yet.) So Thursday night, after I put the kids to bed, I sat down with my graphics laptop to work.

Of course, I was having random contractions. Ranging from 2 to 12 minutes apart, and pretty ignorable. Like maybe had to stop working for a couple of seconds at the peak.

At about 10:35pm, I called my husband home from night seder because I had a couple of contractions in a row that I couldn't ignore. His yeshiva is about a 40 minute drive away, so by the time he let his chavrusas know he was leaving and got home, it was around 11:30.

He watched me work for a bit, started putting up the cholent and cleaning up for Shabbos. After a bunch of contractions in a row that I couldn't sit through - I had to stand up and pace and breathe through them - he convinced me to call my midwife. I agreed to stop working and get into a warm bath and call her at about midnight.

(I still wasn't convinced that I was having the baby that night so I didn't put away my graphics stuff - just closed the laptop and stacked it on my tablet and pushed it to the back of the table.)

Anyway, I went upstairs and filled the bath, and called the midwife as I was getting in, around 12:20. She left to come to us.

Around 1:10am, my husband noticed the same car drive past our house for the second time so he went out to flag her down and point out that she could park in our driveway. She came up to my bathroom at 1:25ish.

I gave birth at 1:49am. I was mildly in denial that the baby was arriving right then - I thought I had another ten minutes at least - so I was not in the best position. That, coupled with the fact that he was facing posterior (and possibly a little broader than my others), meant that his shoulders got stuck for a second. I think. At least, it's the only one of my kids that I remember actively pushing to get the shoulders out.

I bled a lot right away so I couldn't sit and relax in the water for a bit like I did at my other waterbirths. The midwife and her assistant helped me out on to the toilet, and after some discussion, we decided I needed an IM pitocin shot, so that happened. Placenta took its merry time to come down, too, but nothing very crazy.

Baby was 7lb 14.8oz and 20.25" long.

Switching midwifery practices for this birth was the right choice. Even though I miss (most of) my old midwives, and this birth was not as smooth as past ones (see: stuck shoulders, IM pitocin), I felt much better about this one than the last.

With Chuck, I felt like the midwife was manipulating me to agree to interventions that may not have been necessary (but I can't know because of what she did at the time). She's the one I don't miss.

Understanding Different Types of Delivery: Expert Guidance for a Smooth Childbirth – Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni, Best Obstetrician in South Delhi

Types of Delivery: Understanding the Journey and Ensuring a Smooth Birth Process – Insights from Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni, Best Obstetrician in South Delhi

Welcoming a new life into the world is one of the most incredible experiences a woman can have. However, the journey to delivery is complex, and understanding the types of childbirth options available can help you prepare both mentally and physically for the big day. Whether you're aiming for a natural birth or require medical interventions, each delivery type has its own challenges and considerations. With the right guidance and preparation from Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni, the Best Obstetrician in South Delhi, many women can achieve a safe and healthy delivery.

In this blog, we’ll explore the different types of deliveries, the challenges involved, and expert tips from Dr. Soni on how to increase your chances of having a smooth, natural delivery.

Types of Delivery

1. Normal Vaginal Delivery (NVD)

This is the most common and natural form of childbirth, where the baby is delivered through the birth canal without the need for surgical intervention. NVD is often the least complicated type of delivery, and recovery time is generally shorter compared to other methods. However, it requires careful monitoring and support from your obstetrician to ensure the baby and mother remain safe throughout the process.

2. Assisted Vaginal Delivery

In some cases, vaginal delivery may need assistance. This can involve tools like forceps or a vacuum to help guide the baby out when labor stalls. Assisted deliveries are used to prevent further complications when the mother is exhausted or when the baby needs to be delivered quickly due to distress.

3. Cesarean Section (C-Section)

A C-section is a surgical procedure used when vaginal delivery poses a risk to the mother or baby. This may be due to complications such as fetal distress, breech position, or placental issues. While this type of delivery is safe, recovery takes longer, and there are additional considerations regarding pain management and post-operative care.

4. Water Birth

Water birth involves giving birth in a pool of warm water, which can help relieve the pain of labor and create a more relaxed birthing environment. Many women find water births to be a soothing and less stressful method of delivery. However, it’s important to consult with a specialist to ensure this method is safe for your individual case.

5. VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean)

For women who have previously undergone a C-section, VBAC can be an option for their next delivery. This method allows for a vaginal birth following a C-section, though it requires careful monitoring to ensure the safety of both mother and child.

The Challenges of Labor and Delivery

Labor and delivery can be unpredictable, and even the most well-prepared mothers can face challenges. Common difficulties include:

Prolonged Labor: Sometimes, labor doesn’t progress as expected, leading to exhaustion and the need for medical interventions.

Pain Management: The intensity of labor pains varies from woman to woman, and effective pain management is essential to ensure comfort during delivery.

Baby's Position: A breech position or other abnormal positions can complicate delivery and may necessitate a C-section. Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni, Best Obstetrician in South Delhi, is experienced in handling such complex cases with care.

Fetal Distress: Monitoring the baby’s heart rate is crucial, and any sign of distress may require immediate intervention.

Tips and Tricks for a Smooth, Normal Delivery – Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni’s Expert Advice

If you’re hoping for a natural vaginal delivery, here are some tips from Dr. Gayatri Kar Soni, Best Obstetrician in South Delhi, to help increase your chances of a smooth and healthy birth:

1. Stay Active During Pregnancy

Light exercises like walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga can help improve your stamina and keep your muscles strong, which is crucial for labor. Staying active also helps maintain a healthy weight and supports better circulation, both of which contribute to an easier delivery.

2. Practice Breathing Techniques

Deep breathing exercises can help you manage pain and stay calm during labor. Lamaze and other childbirth classes often teach relaxation and breathing techniques that can make a significant difference during contractions.

3. Maintain a Balanced Diet

Eating a nutrient-rich diet with plenty of fiber, protein, and vitamins will give you the energy you need during labor. Stay hydrated, and avoid processed foods, which can make you feel sluggish.

4. Perineal Massage

Starting perineal massage in the weeks leading up to labor can help prepare your body for delivery and reduce the risk of tearing during childbirth. Speak to your obstetrician for guidance on how to perform this safely.

5. Create a Birth Plan

Discuss your birth preferences with your obstetrician ahead of time. Whether you want a drug-free delivery or are open to pain relief options like an epidural, having a plan helps ensure that your medical team knows your wishes and can support you accordingly.

6. Stay Positive and Relaxed

Stress can slow down labor, so it’s important to remain calm and focused. Surround yourself with supportive people and consider techniques like meditation or prenatal hypnosis to help ease anxiety.

7. Hire a Doula or Birth Coach

Having a birth coach or doula by your side can provide emotional support, physical comfort, and encouragement throughout labor. Doulas are experienced in natural birthing techniques and can help you stay calm and focused.

it’s an honour to share tazmin’s birth story of gabriel - I think her story is a great example of a first time mum who researched and knew what she wanted for her birth, and then assembled a birth team who was supportive of that. a room full of safe people leads to a labour that (usually) goes quickly and smoothly. happy reading!
