Birth of one is life for another ........

       My title might give you a slight idea of what i am going to convey in this article.
        Yes I would like to share my experience of having a chance to see the most blissful moment of my life.
                
              OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOT ALWAYS GOLDEN,ITS JUST THAT WE NEED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY AND MAKE IT GOLDEN.
   
 It was a long holiday of about 5 days.
     
          Oh yes! That is long indeed for me . (Any medical student would understand why). 
   I just got a call from my co-ug. I thought it was just a general one to talk about last moment journal completions. But she asked me if i wanted to accompany her to a govt. hospital for practice of history taking.
      
            Yes of course I was allowed into the hospital. Thats how I consider myself lucky. When we entered the hospital, we could see a whole lot of crowd suffering with various diseases. I felt so bad for them and thought how obnoxious God can be to his own creations. But later on I thought what  am I here for? 
       
           As I wanted to take history of a gynac patient, I went to the gynac and obstetrics ward.While taking history of one patient, we were informed by the intern that a lady had started feeling the labour pains. That was the moment when I actually felt OMG! will I be able to actually see a CHILDBIRTH.
    
         "BLISS IT IS TO BE BORN INTO THIS WORLD AND TAKING YOUR FIRST BREATH BUT TO SEE A CHILD TAKING BIRTH IS DIVINE"
    
          We went into the room and the doctor told us to wait in the observation room from where we could see the entire procedure.When the time came, I just observed the mother's expressions.The pain she went through had got goosebumps to me.

          Im always of this opinion- "Be it any woman especially a mother, she deserves the same amount of respect that you would give your own mother."


         And when I saw the pain she goes through my respect towards mothers knew no bounds.You may feel why am I saying this. So when I asked her how much painful was it, she just replied by asking me "How would you feel if you are breaking your bones conciously?".

I was shivering by the very thought of it.

       Lets talk of the neonate for a while or she would end up getting angry for not giving importance to her in the article :P just kidding.


      She was so eager to get into this world. The doctors tried to find out her position. She was a breech baby ( one born with legs comming first than head). As she was a breech one, the doctors asked the mother if she would like to undergo a C section. But as the lady was orthodox she refused to do so.

     
       As it was a normal delivery the doctors had to be really careful to avoid strangulations. The skilled doctor managed to get her out and there she was, all reddish blue shade.

     I just noticed the mother's expressions again and yes only one phrase i could remember at the moment.


   "WHEN IT IS THE CHILD'S BIRTH, IT IS ALSO BIRTH OF A MOTHER." 

     
     There was nothing more I could ask for because that would just make me greedy. I was really lucky as I mentioned earlier as being a 2 nd year ug I got this opportunity so soon.

      I want to thank that friend of mine. It was indeed an afternoon to be cherished in my memories.
