i’m writing this post after reading a former school mate’s blog that she dedicates to her whole giving birth experience and the upbringing of her 1st little girl.
it’s pretty lengthy, especially the one on the giving birth process, hitting the counter at around 5, 200+ words. that’s about an ISM research paper length! anyways, she did it in a rather colloquial manner that effectively delivers the experience’s intensity and vividness through words. to be very frank, i read every word of it carefully and comprehensively. i felt stunned, frightened, and anticipating.
STUNNED: i trust her writings, and thus i believe that it’s really damn painful for the delivery. within this process, there are so many knowledge to be learned for both the mother and father-to-be. the pain, as she described, is so unbearable to the extent that u wouldn’t care about the possibly health damages to the mom and foetus and ask for pain relievers. and the ultimate stunning part is that a mommy-to-be has to undergo roughly 10 hours of contradictions in order to get the baby out. though there are intervals throughout the pain, it’s barely tolerable whenever it starts, again and again. goodness…
FRIGHTENED: i’m thinking that the natural path of deliverance would be the best and appropriate for a woman. for our ancestors had done the same thing to bring wonderful ladies onto this planet. so do i have to go thru such significant moments to truly usher in the new life as well as commencing another new stage within a woman’s life. however, it seems that it ain’t easy at all. i mean, it’s not just difficult, it’s darn extremely difficult! will i be able to take it? am i suitable for this ultimately? the pain factor is currently sounding way way too much for me to swallow…
ANTICIPATING: yes, afterall, i’m still looking forward to having a family, very much complete with the ushering of a new human life, which is the combination make-up of both parents. it symbolizes the affection bonding that is tangibly and physically presented in the most significant form of a human life.
