One more day we bring you one of the mothers stories that you are sending us on the occasion of the celebration of Mother's Day.
Today is the turn of Yavery, Alexander's mother, Alana's mother, who explains how his arrival in this world was.
My story begins on January 12, 2010. That day was my weekly check-up, I was happy because every day was one more step to meet my baby. They checked me and told me that I had high blood pressure, that I had to go to the hospital because I had to follow more controls. We went to the hospital at 8 pm, where they prepared me to check me out, they took blood and more blood and my husband and I were nervous, but very happy.
That night they brought us back home and told us to ask for time with the gynecologist to induce labor. My husband called him the next day and the gynecologist told us that we should be admitted to the hospital that day because our baby had to be born now. We went to the hospital at 6 pm that day, they admitted me to a room and did everything necessary for the great arrival of our Alexander. They were 16 hours waiting for my baby to go down and have a 10 cm dilation to start labor, but we were very slow. At 11 in the morning the gynecologist arrived telling me that my bag would break and, from that moment on, contraction after contraction followed. I could not stand another second and told my husband to call the nurse to put the epidural. And so it was, they put on my epidural and I relaxed so much that they entered me until they wanted to eat, but they didn't want to give me. I had not been eating or sleeping for 17 hours, but none of that discouraged me while waiting. My mother and sister arrived at three in the afternoon on January 14, I had been waiting for several hours and I was very anxious because that special moment did not come. At five in the afternoon I began to feel pain. A pain that became increasingly intense. We called the nurse and she confirmed that she was 10 cm, I was very excited, because I knew that at any moment I would meet the little person who had me waiting 9 months. The nurse told me that we would start at 6 pm to prepare for the labor to begin. And at 6 o'clock the count began: "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, etc. rest," and then again. That's how I spent two hours bidding, but Alex didn't feel like leaving. After another hour of bidding I had no more strength. I saw my mother's face and I said "I can no longer". I remember that my mother told me "do it for the little person that is in there and that you have had this time with so much desire to kiss and hug him". I said to myself that I could. I asked God for strength, with all my heart, but time passed and the gynecologist began to show a worried face. I had a huge fear that something would happen to my baby, so they put on an oxygen mask and I felt even more fear. I prayed that I would not pass out, my strength was too few, I heard the gynecologist in the distance say that if the baby did not come out in 15 minutes, they would have to give me a C-section, so I said to myself "yes, I can" and That's where the biggest challenge of my life began: to bring my baby into the world. At eight in the afternoon he was born. My husband and I cry like never before. He hugged me and I heard the cry of that baby that made me a mother. It was already mom! He separated a little to take pictures and my mother came over and said: "You look as if you could!" My sister congratulated me and thanked me for letting him share that moment. I wanted to see my baby, I asked my mother why she cried and she told me they were cleaning it. At that moment the nurse approached with my baby and handed it to me. From that moment I discovered that love at first sight exists, although I already loved it before, but love grew more and every day grows more. On January 14 at eight in the afternoon, my new life began as a mother, that mother who is going to fight against the tide for the happiness and well-being of her baby. Now he is about to turn 4 months old and I have the feeling that time is running too fast, that I am not enjoying my baby too much and that I spend 24 hours a day with him. If I am sure of something, I will always be with him, because he gave one more reason to my life and because every smile, every time he clings to my finger with such passion, when I discover him looking at me like no man has done With that purity and sweetness, they make me love him more and more, a love I never felt for anyone, a love I feel because it is the reason for our lives. Thank God that brought happiness to my husband and me. We love you Alexander!
