Hi Akka, we are blessed with a baby girl on 19th September. I am your early pregnancy and labor management student. I am about to complete my 38th week on the day of labor.

The previous week I was not well and had a heavy cough. The doctor mentioned that could be one of the reasons that the water broke on 18th September around 11 pm.

Since I took notes of all the points that you mentioned in labor management, I have made my family members alert and rushed to the hospital and got admitted directly into the labor room.
I started feeling pain at 12am but to increase the pain, I was given medicine around 5:30 am, I managed my labor pains till 12:30 pm by following the sipper bottle technique, and hot water bag. They really helped me to hope up with the pain.

Around 1 pm I couldn’t manage the contractions as my stamina turned bad due to my recent cough. So went for an epidural. I was able to take this decision based on the knowledge u have provided during the labour management session.

My husband supported me in every phase of the labor as he was there with me throughout the labor.
