Thankfully, my mother called her grandmother, who demanded that he had better bring her to the hospital, before she had to herself. My father still weaseled his way out of it by sitting in the passenger seat the entire time. My mother wasn’t in labor for long, and at 7:45 pm my sister squirmed out. There was complications with my own birth-- for 11 minutes, I refused to exit my mother. She claimed that I had been sticking my hand out first and “waving” at the doctors, which most likely

Birth of a child can be such a happy time, especially when the little one is very healthy. We all have seen the movies when a new child is born, some of us are lucky to see it first hand. Some of us do get goose bumps, me being one of them. It is just so exciting to see that little life come out of what has been in that big belly for nine months. We sometimes refer to the birth of a child as labor. If only it was as easy as the name sounds. However, it is not. There are three main stages in birth.
