My First Pregnancy

I had two normal delivery, the first one was in 1998 and the second one was in 2008. I will be talking here about my 1st pregnancy with kuya since I already had  a post  for my bunso.

I got married, got pregnant and gave birth at the same year. My  husband(ex) was with me when  I had my first check up with  the OB  Gynecologist. Few days later, he went back to Saudi Arabia. My pregnancy went smoothly,  I never experienced any morning sickness and other complications. I really  enjoyed  my pregnancy except of course during the labor pain caused by contractions. I was working  and at the same time taking up a dressmaking class near my parents house  so most of the maternity dress I was wearing was made by me.

Kuya came 2 weeks earlier from my expected due date. The labor pain started  at 7 pm, Sunday, after a busy working day  in my dental clinic. I was peeing when a  drop of blood came out  with the urine. I told my mom about it and she said that I need to be ready because the baby is coming out anytime. So I prepared all my things and put everything at the back of the car. I started timing the the contraction and woke everybody up  at  2 am  to bring me to the hospital. I was admitted directly in the labor room and gave birth to a healthy baby boy  at 10 am under normal delivery. Both me and my eldest(kuya) was discharged from the hospital  2 days  after.

The first Grandson in my family

Sadly I had to leave him after 4 months to work and be with his father in KSA. But leaving him alone with my family was the best mistake I ever did. If not I've had lost him forever after the divorced .
