Kapanlagi.com - Vincent Verhaag is grateful that Jessica Iskandar's childbirth process went smoothly until she gave birth to their healthy baby on May 7, 2022. Before the baby, who weighed 3.78 kg and was 51 cm long, was born into the world, Vincent had researched the process of normal childbirth online.
From what Vincent read, he had imagined that the woman affectionately known as Jedar would experience long-lasting pain, especially during the opening process.
"It's amazing, I'm speechless, everything is new to me, so I had to google and read about it. Usually, during the second or third opening, the mother is already crying in pain and has to be massaged with a skippy ball to relax the baby's exit path," Vincent said when met at Pondok Indah Hospital, South Jakarta, on Monday (9/5).

However, it turned out that Jedar did not experience the usual pain that women go through during childbirth. Vincent was grateful that his wife did not suffer for too long.
"Because what Vincent read was completely upside down, it didn't hurt in the first opening, the second didn't hurt, 4 5 6 didn't hurt, but at 8 in the morning, then at 12:30 he was told to push, and at 12:34 the baby was born," said Vincent.
2. Half an Hour

Vincent revealed that Jedar only experienced pain for a short time and after that, their child was born. That's why he was grateful that his wife did not suffer from prolonged pain.
"So, you could say that I saw her experiencing, feeling the pain for only half an hour," explained Vincent.
After the baby was born, Vincent admitted that he couldn't hold back his happiness. "I cried," he concluded.
