ベビーちゃんいらっさ〜い

先日友人が出産し、早速病院へベビーを見に行ってきた。

ベビーがとても美人ちゃんで可愛いかった！が、それ以上に友人の１週間にもわたる難産ストーリーを聞きながら、自分も出産した気分になるほど聞いた後は、なぜか疲労感！

「出産って命がけ。」
「yukonは絶対無痛分娩しいや」

陣痛を感じれるのも母親としての喜び。おなかをいためて生む喜び。無痛分娩が主なアメリカでは考えられない大和魂！痛みに弱い私は、痛みを避けれるものなら避けたい、人間無理して苦しまなくなっていいんよね〜、な考え方の私は、今から無痛分娩をさせてくれる病院を探しておきたいほどである。

現代のこんなすばらしい設備と環境でも、これほどの苦しさと負担を母体に与える出産というイベント。改めて、命の奇跡、そして遥か大昔の人からつながれてきた命のリレーによって人類がつながっているのだと思うと、「すごいな〜」なんて思った。

私がお見舞いにいったときには、ベビーちゃんずっと寝っぱなし。でも時折ちらっとこちらの方をみて「うるさいな〜。声でかいねん」的なにらみをきかせてきたり、伸びをしたりする姿はなんとも愛くるしい！

将来絶対子供は欲しいけれど、友人の難産ストーリーを聞いてやっぱり「卵で生みたい！」とつくづく思う私です．．．。


One of my friends gave a birth to a beautiful princess and I went to see them at the clinic. It was such an amazing and painful to hear her difficult delivery which made her suffer almost for a week. And, as I 've heard, I felt like I was the one giving a birth and felt sooo exhausted.

"wow, women really risk their lives to have a baby"
And them my friend said "you should have a painless delivery"

Year, I think so. contractions (labor pain) is one of women's pleasure. It is hard to adopt the idea after knowing painless delivery is normal in the U.S. And, to me it is THE yamato spirit which often depicts enduring is a beauty.

Under the perfect environment with state of art equipments and technology and with an aroma massage and ryokan like "kaiseki" food, my friend still had to suffer this much. Thinking about how people in old times managed to make it through under less than good environment. And, I feel miracle that we are the result of a long chain of lives.

Unfortunately, the little princess were asleep all the time. However, there were some moments she opened her eyes and stared at us as if she was saying "You noisy!"
And she　had a stretch. It was so adorable.

In the future, I wish I could have a baby in the future but after knowing her difficult delivery, I can't help wishing to lay eggs!
