My friend and I went out and strolled about the place when our patient called stating that she is already in labor. So we hurriedly went to their house which is a 45 mins away by train and 30 minutes by rickshaw. It was so perfect because she was in labor a day after I arrived there. Three weeks before I arrived, the patient can be in labor anytime. But God really cause everything to work out. I just rested one day after the flight then she had her baby. It was her first baby. She delivered in the garden in the pool. It was our first water birth. It went so well and fast. She only had eight hours total labor. The baby was out with nuchal coil. She bled but recovered well. It was a great success for both of us. PTL. The only thing was, I had dysmennorhea and took advil for pain. I took it even though I knew that I am allergic to it. I just want to have no pain because I cannot function well if the pain will stay. So I was assisting and charting with my eyes swollen.
The patient gave birth at 7:02pm so we slept at their house after everything was done. Then we went back to our apartment about 7am because we need to attend the “Birth India Mela”. We were tired but were very fulfilled.
