The birth of my first child
Every mother remembers their first child's birth. The experience might be painful ... at first but afterward it's the most wonderful feeling in the world. It's the day you bring a new life into the world and try to give them the things you never received growing up. I remember my son's birth like it was yesterday. It was the day I thought about someone other than myself and made them a priority first.
I remember rushing down Interstate 10 on the way to the hospital with my son's father. We were very lucky, traffic was not that heavy so late in the night. We were going to the Del Sol Hospital in West El Paso at midnight on August 12, 2006. We rushed into the Emergency Room, it was crowded but we managed to …show more content…
I received another shot to increase contractions to begin bringing my son into the world.
The contractions increased to eventually once every 10 seconds before the doctor decided to bring me into the delivery room. It was cold in the delivery room and i was surrounded by a lot of people all there to help me bring my son into the world. I was in there a total of 15 minutes before my son was finally born.
It was a quarter after 3 p.m. on August 13th when my son Anthony was born. I think about that day often. I didn't like the pain of childbirth but i enjoyed the feeling of having my son placed on my chest and watching him open his eyes and seeing me for the first time. When your going through months of different experiences from pain, happiness, morning sickness to uncommon cravings from someone inside you, it's great to finally see them.
We as mother's have a unique bond with our children from carrying them inside us for months to feeling their heartbeats from inside our bodies. Every mother can relate to these experience. It's painful but in the end worth it. It's what connects us with generations of women throughout history ... the day we make someone other than ourselves a priority
