It was
morning of December 24, 2013 when my mother and I went to the hospital because I
was already having labor. I thought I would be giving birth on the night of 24th
but I didn’t. At 11 o’clock in the morning of December 25, the doctor came and
conducted an IE. She told me I am about to give birth and so she instructed the
nurse to bring me to the delivery room. They ruptured my bag of water and told me
to push whenever I feel any pain and contraction. Unfortunately, I haven’t felt
any pain but contractions.
More than an
hour passed and still baby is not coming out no matter how I try to push. They keep
on checking his fetal heart rate and he just keeps on getting weaker and
weaker, so they decided to do an emergency c-section. I was then brought to the
operating room.
The anesthesiologist
injected anesthesia and in less than five minutes I fell asleep. I just woke up
when I heard them screaming, “It’s a baby boy and looks like an American” (a
line that made my husband smiled when I told him). I asked if I can see baby
and one of the staff showed him to me then I went back to sleep again.
Turned out,
the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and his head is not in proper
position that is why no matter how I push, he won’t come out. It just made him
weaker and weaker. Our bundle of joy came out at 2:09 in the afternoon of
December 25, 2013 and it is 12:09 in the morning, it just turned December 25 at
Illinois too, where his father lives and waiting for the news.
