I have given birth to three healthy children and each one were different. The first child seem to take forever in my mind. I was 18 years old and a senior in high school when I started having contractions after lunch. I did not think anything was going on until the next day when I went to the restroom and my water broke. My mother come over and drove me to the hospital and they confirmed my water broke. Well hours went by and I did not think this child was ever going to come out. I was in labor for 15 hours and my son was finally born at 12:00am 30 secs before 12:01 and the nurse told me I could choose a date for his birthday. I looked at her and said why, they informed me that it is not officiall the next day until the clocked hit 12:01am.
My second child was a little bit more scary. The day before she was born I showed signs of complications but the hospital sent me home. When I went back to the hospital the very next day at 3:00am the doctor did not even have time to come in and deliver her because I told the nurse that this baby was coming and she said you have a few hours and I yelled no I don't. The nurse looked back at me before leaving my room and notice that my daughter's head was out. She was the fastest birth out of all three, but after her birth I started to hemorrhage. They took her away until they could control the bleeding which was a scary situation considering this was my second child and I was only 20 years old.
Four years later is when I had my third child and I thought that I was prepared for anything after giving birth two previous times. Every birth is different and with my third child the nurses scared me by telling me they could not find her heart beat. After delivering two other children and learning more about the importance of prenatal care and early development, I took all precautions to make sure that this birth was better than the last two. Until the nurse said they could not hear her heart beat, which caused me to panic causing my own heart rate to drop. Once the doctor came in and found her heart beat I calmed down and she was a healthy little girls.
