Preethi Singh Instagram – Taksh’s Birth Story- 3/3 🧿
Takshvardhan Singh Chauhan💙- 17th Nov 2021
*This photograph is Taksh’s first photo and he was given to me only for a few seconds and my husband managed to capture this. It’s still unbelievable to me that when I said “Hi” to him, he literally looked at me and smiled. I will never forget this feeling.❤️
Part 3
All I heard was NICU and oxygen, and I was inconsolable. I couldn’t come to terms with it. I just wanted to hold my baby. So before they transferred him to the NICU, they gave Taksh to me for a couple of seconds and that’s when the above photograph was taken.
Doctors told me that he will be fine, but at that point of time you tend not to believe anybody. All I could think about was that I had to spend my babies first night away from him and I just wanted him to be fine and to be next to me.
The night was long and seemed to never end, I kept pestering my husband to go see him in the NICU, but after a couple of times, he wasn’t allowed since NICU needs to be sterile and patients constantly visiting could compromise that. I don’t think we slept even for a second that night. I had just been through labour, exhausted like I’d never been before but there was no way I could get myself to sleep. I just wanted to reassure myself that he was okay but now we couldn’t even see him.
(Don’t worry the gloominess of this post ends here. Only while writing this part I realised that I don’t like even thinking about this experience , hence I’m hurrying up this part. I initially thought that I’d make a YouTube video on Taksh’s birthing story but now I’m not too sure )
The next morning, the Paediatrician told us that he was absolutely fine and ready to be discharged, and they didn’t have to wait for 24 hours. He was finally in my arms. Taksh gave us quite the scare but in the end he was alright and that’s all that mattered.😊
Also, before I forget you get stitches even if you do a vaginal delivery but just not on your stomach. It’s called an episiotomy. I had no idea but couldn’t care less given the situation.
