When the baby came it was very sudden. Mummy A had been struggling and had requested an epidural. The midwife spent so long faffing about with this and that, that just before they were to give the epidural a nurse came in and looked at the monitors.
“Something’s wrong” she said. She checked the positioning of the baby.
“You’re fully dilated,” she said, “the baby has to come out NOW!” She hit this red button on the wall and suddenly the room was full of doctors. It was like something out of ER!
That was at 2.50am. Six minutes later, baby Ayaan entered the world. Have to admit, it brought a tear to my eye.
Mummy A still complains about missing out on the epidural.
