Birthing Experience

I have not had any birthing experiences of my own, however I enjoying watching the birthing television shows. Some of my favorites are a baby story which airs on TLC, Teen Mom, MTV and lastly, "I didn't know I was pregnant". Of these shows I will share an experience I enjoyed viewing; its from the show A baby story in which the Tambane family's experience is being narrated. The Tambane's are a fun, loving, energetic family who live in New Jersey, this is their second pregnancy, the first resulted in the birth of a baby boy whom at the time of the show was four years old his name is Zachery. The family is expecting a little girl in which they will name Isabella. I've gathered from watching the video segment  the Tambane family enjoys outings around New York City; including both grandma's as well. Parents, Lou is a graphic designer and Louisa is a preschool teacher. The pregnancy has been a normal one, Louisa began experiencing pimples all over her face early on in the pregnancy and it began to get worse towards the end.
The birth
Louisa began feeling contractions she and her husband made their way to the hospital they stayed over night. Around 12 noon the next day the doctors came in to check her and she was 3 cementers dilated. After her water broke the pain from the contraction began to get stronger. The doctors suggested she get an epidural to ease the pain from her contractions. The anesthesiologist Dr. Aberpach administered a long needle into Lousia spine within minutes she could feel the medicine working. As the epidural began to ware off Lousia's contractions began to become painful again, the nurses checked her progress and determined she was fully dilated which means she was ready to push.  After countless attempts at pushing Louisa's baby girl finally appeared weighing in at 9lbs 8 oz and 21 inches born at 4:02 pm. They named her Isabella Maria. Life with Isabella has been great; she has added to our family and help me to feel more like a complete family says Lou. Zachery loves giving his baby sister kisses.
