Baby Samourai made-in-India – 6. In the pool

A t 6 o'clock we set foot (and wheelchair) for the delivery room to attend the filling of the pool – apparently the sound of running water itself encourages the cervix to open up. And all of a sudden I was very far from the idea I had of water birth. Yes, curiously, despite the awful video, I still had romantic images of the thing. First the image of a naiad frolicking in a hot water...

Baby Samourai made-in-India – 4. Final preparations

I started my maternity leave a couple of weeks before due date.

Several times I have asked colleagues, newly elevated to the rank of fathers, if they were not too tired. And got the reply “no no, you know, my wife and baby are at my in-laws, they’ll come back only after...

Babies made-in-India - 4. Naming

I was frequently asked, till the baby turned two months if we had already chosen his name! Indeed, in India, the baby is named at the end of the safety period, generally 40 days. It gives time for the astrologer to find the name, or at least its first letter. Meanwhile, the baby is called baby, and evil spirits are kept at bay! And if everything goes well, the family...
