Iya Villania
ITINUTURING ni Iya Villania na “extra special” at isang “milagro” ang panganganak niya sa ikaapat na baby nila ni Drew Arellano na si Astro Phoenix.
Ito kasi ang unang pagkakataon na nagsilang siya ng sanggol kung saan nangyari ang matagal na niyang pinapangarap na “unmedicated birthing experience”.
Ang tinutukoy ng Kapuso actress at TV host ay ang alternative na panganganak ng isang ina na hindi kinakailangang saksakan ng anesthesia.
Sa kanyang Instagram account, ibinahagi ng celebrity mom last July 18, ang naging journey niya sa natural na pagsilang kay Astro Phoenix sa pamamagitan ng isang video.
“Para du’n sa mga tao diyan na nagsasabi na madali lang ako manganak, no! Ha-hahaha! Because pang-apat ko na ‘to at ito pa ang pinakamatagal. Five hours and we’re still here,” simulang pahayag ni Iya.
“So sorry about the delay guys… been meaning to post this but… mothering of 4 happened. Here’s Astro’s birthing video.
“Things started really slow and then shortly after my IE at 4pm, things happened REEEALLY fast. Wish we were able to catch everything but here’s what Drew managed to get.
“My first natural birth out of my 4 deliveries! This birth is extra special because it will always remind me of how God took me thru ‘til the end even when I had given up,” sabi pa ni Iya sa caption.
Sey pa ng misis ni Drew, dream come true para sa kanya ang maranasang magsilang ng sanggol nang walang anesthesia.
“I’ve always wanted to experience a natural birth but the pain would get overwhelming and I’d give up and ask for the drugs.
“For this particular delivery, I was praying for His strength and courage every single morning hoping I’d finally get to experience it since we feel this will be our last pregnancy, hence also my last chance to experience this.
“I’ve been doing a lot of spiritual growth in the past year and felt that this time I actually had what it would take for me to succeed… FAITH Faith in not my own strength and ability, but faith that God would get me thru,” lahad ng TV host.
Patuloy pa niyang paliwanag, “This labor was sooo different. First time my water leaked, first time to test + in my GBS swab, first time to go to the hospital without any contractions… things definitely weren’t going as I had expected or hoped but I guess that’s what labor is… unpredictable! Even after 3 deliveries!
“At around 4:15pm, after my 4pm IE, I felt discouraged with the progress and felt like the pain was already starting to take me to another dimension,” sey pa ni Iya.
“And because things were happening at a slower pace, I was afraid of how much longer I would have to bear the pain so I asked them to call my anesthesiologist (who was on standby at home since the plan was to go natural). It was during this time God just took over! At that point on, things went into hyper drive!
“From urgently asking them to call my OB back into the room and jumping onto the bed at 4:33pm, it was 6mins of delirium and then at 4:39pm Astro was out!!!
“God decided not to let the drugs get to me in time coz He knew in my heart what I wanted to experience! My dream unmedicated* birthing experience had just happened! God made it happen,” tuluy-tuloy pang chika ng celebrity mommy.
Ngayon, alam na raw ni Iya kung bakit dumarami ang mga nanay na mas gusto ang natural birth, “It was such an amazing moment! And from what I imagined to be a traumatic experience, I understand now why mothers still to choose to do it again!
“God is truly faithful to perform. UNMEDICATED only in the sense that I didn’t get the epidural. My doc still needed to administer oxytocin to help with more regular contractions since my water broke and I was on a timeline,” sabi pa ni Iya Villania.
Taong 2014 nang magpakasal sina Iya at Drew makalipas ang 10 taon nang pagde-date. Biniyayaan nga sila ng apat na anak — sina Primo, Leon, Alana at ang one-month-old ngang si Astro Phoenix.
