Becoming a Parent -- Pinoy Parenting Blog Carnival 1st Edition

In celebration of the birth of the Pinoy Parenting Blog Carnival (PPBC), I thought it would be appropriate if we share stories of our children's birth -- where most of us truly become parents.

If you are a mommy, please share your experiences regarding pregnancy and childbirth. Guide questions:
  • Did you have a normal vaginal delivery? Or a Ceasarian section? If you underwent CS, what was the reason for that?
  • What kind of anesthesia did you have during the delivery? Or did you go through a drug-less birth?
  • Was your husband present with you when you delivered your child?
  • Were you able to room in your baby immediately?
  • Here in the Philippines, the usual birth attendant is the Obstetrician-Gynecologist. Did you have one when you gave birth? Or did you have somebody else attend to you? For example, a midwife, a nurse, another doctor (not OB), a traditional hilot?
  • How was your labor? Can you describe the course?
  • How was your post partum recovery?
If you're a daddy, you may share your wife's birth story. Or you may just blog about your experience while awaiting your child's arrival.

Remember, the following are just guide questions. Please don't feel limited by them and exercise your writing creativity. You may write a poem, post pictures or whatever. :)

You may post the link to your entries in the comments section of this article or email me at ethanmama[at]gmail[dot]com with PPBC submission as the subject .

The deadline for entries is on May 10, 2008, 12 midnight. :) I will post the PPBC 1st Edition on May 14, 2008. Please watch out for it!
