כותרת:
Last night just before midnight I was called out to a homebirth in downtown Tel-Aviv. It was pouring rain and nasty, and there was no parking. Her man ran down with umbrella to help me with the suitcases and find me parking. When I walked in the room was aglow with candles,and the electric heater warmed the room to a nice toast. A friend made us all wonderful cherry tea, and the doula was massaging her feet. She was like a queen on a royal throne, surrounded by pillows and carressed by her man. We listened to beautiful Spanish music and we laughed and made pleasant chit-chat in between her contractions. She looked very good--too good. Their 10 year old daughter was asleep. I checked the birth preperations, the plastic covered mattress, the baby clothes, the cloth diapers, got my pot with oil and compresses for the perineum. I can't believe it that I only met them two days ago when they finally made their decision to have a homebirth. Her water broke after she saw the birth movies at Dyada. It was two weeks early. Her last birth was not a pleasant experience for her, with a big episiotomy, epidural, pethidin, and the usual hospital stuff. They wanted something more spiritual and in their control, and they were more prepared this time. I went to lie down to conserve my strength for the big finish. I dozed off, and then heard soft moaning every few minutes. The moaning got stronger, so I got up to check. Now she was 6 cm. I didn't check before since she looked too happy and since her water broke I didn't want to expose her to any possibility of introducting infection by vaginal exams. The heartbeat was great, as before. We breathed and moaned with her and I told her it wasn't much longer. Sure enough she felt pressure soon, and began to push gently. She was lying on her side. Then she got on all 4's and began to push harder. The head came down very well, but the perineum was like a first birth. She was probably sewn up too tight the first time after the episiotomy. I gave her lots of time to stretch, and put warm compresses and oil on, and together we worked to slowly birth the head. Her doula held her by the shoulders, and her man rubbed her back and looked in awe as he watched his son being born. It was magical and all the time the rain was pouring. Her 10 year old came in right after the birth to see her new brother. Just a small tear and no stitches. The baby latched on to the nipple like a pro, and everyone was excited and happy. She showered later and I packed my bags. When I left at 7 AM, the rain had finally stopped. and I didn't need to worry about a parking ticket. It was nice to come home to a warm bed and a warm Asher!
