Met Vilasini in the Happymom Antenatal around 34 weeks. It was a short time for both of us to know each other .After attending the birth choice session she preferred to have her husband with for the next session. So next session her husband came , vilasini was finding difficult to do exercise with GDM and less physical activity from the beginning of her pregnancy made it difficult for her to do exercises, but still she tried a lot. That weekend we had planned for Aquanatal session, Vilasini and her husband was little hesitant to come but they made it as reassured to them that they will luv the session. After the Aquanatal session their perspective towards birth choice changed, her husband was so confident to go waterbirth, I didn't promise them but told them we will decide during that time.
That day night vilasini called me saying of slight discomfort, around 2.00 am, her mom got panicked as no one is there to accompany them I told them to come to hospital.Around 3.00 am Ganapathy called me from Hosur, I assured him that things are fine no need to worry.
Around 8.00 am I reached hospital, I aasked her whether she wants to go to pool, than after 1 hour she was shifted to Birth pool.
She was intermittently on and off the pool, she was having food and water and tender coconut water in the pool itself , she was progressing slowly we ere taking time. Around 6.00 pm Gynaec came and did internal examination she 7 cm dilated and in -2 pelvic station.
She was shifted out of the pool and wanted to stay in the rest room for some time.She was comfortable in birthing while lying on the stomach , back labor. Everytime contractions comes she will lean forward, sac broke and saw grade 1 meconium stain, Foetal Heart rate been monitored consistently , baby was fine so we progressed,.
Around 8.00 pm she delivered baby girl , Meconium stain and cord around the neck. Baby was completely fine , than shifted her to the bed and breastfed in the labor bed itself.
One thing I told them I was ready to be their doula is just because of her husband who was so confident.She kissed me in the labor bed saying tons of thanks.
It was so emotional for me
