Special Moment
My personal birthing experience was very an adventure because I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I can truly say it was an unforgettable moment. It’s amazing to know how the body is able to develop and deliver another human being. Nine years ago, I deliver a 6 lbs 4.2 oz healthy little boy. I had the opportunity to deliver him naturally. However, within my pregnancy I learned about breastfeeding, which I was able to experience that as well. However, his father wasn’t so thrill about breastfeeding, because that meant my son always had to be with me. My son was strictly breastfeed; he didn’t really intake a bottle until I went back to work. When I returned home from work it was back to the routine. It was a delightful experience to feel the bond between me and my child. I had so much support from my family, child’s father family and the staff at the hospital when my son was delivered. I spent 6 weeks bonding and caring with my child before retuning to work. At my grandmother house during those six week I was to focus on taking care of my son and allowing my body to heal. I could not do any house work or go visit others until my son was at least a month of age. Most older people believe that you should allow your body to heal before you start going places and doing regular activities.
