Gentle Birth(1)

11 yrs ago, I had water bag burst at 8pm, i showered n took some food. By the time reached hospital it was 9pm. Nurse who attended to me said 1st delivery is it....then need to wait to next day. Doc said only 5cm dilation, still need to wait. I hv nvr taken any thing said to me, internally i was telling myself, "is it? this body belongs to me, i know better than anyone else, the timing doesnt have to follow anyone." So i plugged in my Metta Chanting cassette in my walkman and continued to immerse myself in meditation mode.... u can imagine it was such a long long time ago. At 1230am i had more frequent contraction n i delivered at 1am. Close labour pain was about 1 hour. oh....btw, doc took away the strap ie the Electronic Fetal Heart Monitoring and so it took away the high volume beating which is inaccurate.
