Mala

Say Hi to Kaleb Samudra Bernard, 9 pounds and 6 ounces baby boy! ❤

I'm so happy that we did unmedicated natural birth. Our doctor scheduled us to be induce on thursday, but we asked him to wait until monday because we wanna try to have him naturally. We had feeling that he will be here this weekend

.

My labor started around 1.04 am Friday morning with mild contraction here and there and decided to go to the hospital at 06 am. Dr. Aviles checked me and I was only 2 cm dilated at that time

.

Around 10am Dr. Aviles broke my water to speed up labor, but nothing happened. contraction was not close to each other enough. Around 3 pm, I was in so much pain and real close from giving up and told my husband 'I can't do it anymore. I just wanna give up. Just give me epidural. I just wanna meet Kaleb. pleeeeaaaseeeeee'. and he was so calm and told me 'you dont want epidural'. The nurse came and checked me, she found out that my bladder was full. thats why I was in so much pain. After I emptied my bladder, I can handle the pain again! thanks nurse Dotty!

.

At 4 pm, my contraction still not close together and my baby was so tired in my womb and not making movement at all. Doctor worried and suggested c-section. Luckily, I was fully dilated when he checked me. So he said "time to push!". I pushed for 50mins and finally met my baby after 15 hours of labor!

.

I'm so in love and forever grateful for this experience! .
