Cristina Pedroche is facing the last weeks of pregnancy and that is why she is going to temporarily move away from television and her work as a collaborator in zapping. The Vallecana has submitted to a question and answer this Sunday with her Instagram followers and has confessed when will be the last day we will be able to see her on the La Sexta program. “I only have this week zapping. I’ll be here Tuesday and Wednesday and I’ll stay at home quietly for the last few weeks (if the baby wants to). So this Wednesday will be my last day”, Pedroche has written.
The presenter counts the days to become a mother with Dabiz Muñoz and cannot hide the desire she has for the time of delivery to arrive. “I feel that I am prepared, I know what it is, I know everything that can happen and I know all the options that I have. I feel very supported by my gynecologist and my midwife. Before doing his Hypnobirthing course, of course I was afraid, I doubted if he would be capable, but now I feel like it. I want that day to come and to meet my baby, ”he confesses.
Pedroche has absolutely everything prepared for the arrival of the little girl, especially when it comes to material things. But he does not forget even remotely what is truly important: “I have a lot of love, I really want to see her face, I am prepared with a lot of patience, I already have colostrum in my chest to feed her…. In the end my baby only needs me.”
The type of delivery for Cristina Pedroche
“Childbirth is not something that I can choose by myself, logically I want everything as natural as possible, but childbirth is a matter of two. As much as I want natural if my baby does not come in a good position or during the process has fetal distress and it has to end in a caesarean section because it will end like this ”, details the presenter.
“When I say that I know what childbirth is (that they are already criticizing me, how lazy to have to specify everything) it is that nine months ago I had no idea what a childbirth was, nor its phases, nor the hormones that we segregate during the process, neither of the tools that exist to manage pain, nor of all the options that I can find. Logically I don’t know what it’s like to feel labor (but I can’t wait) and I know that whatever happens I’ll be happy because I have all the information and if it ends in a caesarean section it won’t be a disappointment (as many of you are telling me). The type of delivery does not make you a better or worse mother/woman”.
¿Epidural o sin epidural?
Without shying away from any question, Cristina Pedroche has continued to be honest with her followers with a most repeated question: whether she will use an epidural or not. “This question is repeated a lot and now that I am so informed and have read and studied so much, it seems to me that it falls a bit short.. Before, I also thought that there was only natural childbirth without an epidural, vaginal delivery with an epidural or caesarean section. And a birth is not something so ‘simple’. Not even the resources that pregnant women have so scarce. In the Hypnobirthing course they teach you to build your own ladder of both non-pharmacological and pharmacological resources”.
“I have my own ladder and it doesn’t have to be the same as the ladder of another mother who is going to give birth on the same day, and that won’t make me better than her or her better than me. It is important that you make your birth plan (rather, birth preferences) but that you are open to what happens and above all how you are feeling ”, he continues.
“I know that I have the tools to feel ownership of my experience, whatever it is. And I come to accompany my daughter to be born. Hopefully there will come a day when we do not have this need to punish or criticize the decisions (whatever they may be) or the experience of a woman in this momentous stage”.
