The Birth of My First Child.
Witnessing the birth of my first child. Giving birth to life is a miracle. Most women give birth naturally. Some women cannot give birth naturally, these women due to science have to be assisted by a procedure called caesarian section. I recently witnessed my wife go through this procedure of caesarian section and it was an unnerving, scary and exciting experience I will never forget. Firstly, I felt nervous because after eight months of pregnancy, our doctor advised us the baby was not turning. The doctor went on to say, that these cases sometimes happen and not to be alarmed. He told my wife and I, that if by the due date the baby had not turned, he would have to perform a cesarean section to take the baby out. This news made me tense with nervousness. I felt my wife's life was in jeopardy because of this complication. My wife assured me the caesarian procedure is safe, that doctors have performed this procedure for quite some time. When due day arrived I woke up at 5am, which was early for me, because the previous night I could hardly sleep, all I did was toss and turn. I could not help but worry what will be the outcome of the caesarian operation. The operation was scheduled for 1
After the nurse left I asked my wife what was the functions of all these machines; she explained that the sonogram was used to see the baby's movements and heartbeat rate. After the doctor was done cutting, he opened my wife's stomach wide, by pushing the skin from her stomach up to her chest. When we arrived at the maternity floor the nurses there all knew my wife, because she works at that hospital as a nurse. For some reason, driving to the hospital seemed to take longer than usual; maybe I was thinking too much about the outcome of the caesarian operation. The doctor used some ice to check if my wife could feel any sensation. This time she cried, that cry was like music to my ears, because I was sure there was some complications by the look on the pediatricians face. I was led to a stool by her head, and told to sit there and hold her hand. We were sent up to the maternity floor. Finally in my arms I looked into my daughter's eyes and said a prayer. Holding a long needle in his hand, he explained to us that if she moves whilst he is injecting her and misses the exact spot, it might paralyze her. He proceeded cutting slowly a little at a time using a sharp knife called a scalpel. She smiled and said, " it is alright, and do you want to hold her". It was a scary feeling to see my wife wheeled into the operation room. 1am on September sixth nineteen ninety-four I will never forget that day.
