911 - A Birth Story
Hello Everyone! This is my first birth story, so they can only go up from here! Thanks for taking the time to read and I hope you enjoy!
——————————————————————-
Alex stood at the sink, glancing at himself in the mirror, standing in just his Guns and Roses T shirt as the sound of the water filling in the tub drowns out any other sound in his tiny apartment.
His eyes glance down to the massive round mass under the shirt. That’s where his baby girl Ella called her home for the last 39 weeks.
Alex had started feeling some Braxton Hick’s about an hour ago like he had been on and off for weeks, so he decided to run a bath.
Seeing that the bath was full in the reflection of the mirror, he leaned down the best he could, letting out a soft grunt as he stood straight again and threw his t shirt to the side.
He looks down at his perfectly round baby bump, his pale skin, slightly highlighted by the faint red stretch marks around his poked out belly button.
Alex holds onto the bathroom wall, as he climbs slowly into the warm bath. Once he sinks down, he lays back against the cold tile which makes him shiver before he closes his eyes and rubs his belly.
The faint sounds of his phone playing his relaxing playlist next to him fill the room as he runs around his belly, as he feels the familiar tightening in his belly of a Braxton hick.
“Mmmmmmmmmmmm….” He vocalizes softly as after 10 seconds he notices something different, the pain starts to wrap around to his hips and back.
“Oooooooohhhhhhhh babygirl…. What’s that?….” He breaths as the pain intensifies and all of a sudden feels a sharp pressure between his legs before a release of pressure as his waters break and mix with the water of the tub.
Once he realizes what happened, he quickly reaches for his phone, pausing his playlist, and dialing 911.
After a few rings, his phone crackles as a voice of an older woman appears on the other end of the phone.
“911 what’s your emergency?”
“H-Hi… my name is Alex… I thought I was having Braxton hicks but I just got in the bath and my waters broke…” he says nervously.
“Ok, Alex. I’m Ali, I’m gonna help you ok? I’m gonna send the paramedics to your location but do you think you can answer some questions for me?” She asks
He nods nervously. “Yeah… I can do that…”
“Ok good.” She smiles. “Is this your first baby?”
“Yes.” He nods.
“Great. How far along are you?”
“39 weeks and 2 days.”
“Perfect! Alright, the next thing is going to be a little tougher… but I’m going to walk you through it ok?” She asks.
Alex nods. “Ok.” He says
“I’m gonna have you check your dilation and see where we’re at…”
He nods, before he starts feeling a harder tightening, this time quickly wrapping around his belly, hips and up his back.
“Ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh owwwwwwww!” He whines loudly as he rubs his belly with both hands, sitting straight up quickly.
“That’s it… breath Alex…” Ali says through the phone, seeing that the EMTs are still 10 minutes out on her map.
Once the contraction fades, Alex starts panting. “O-okkkk…. It’s done…. How do I check myself?” He asks nervously.
“Ok, you’re gonna take two fingers. Gently slide them into your vagina and then spread your fingers gently and see how much the opening is ok?”
He nods. “Y-yeah… ok…”
With a soft grunt, he gets up onto his knees, leaning over the tub and gently slides two fingers into his tight, pink vagina, feeling up and spreads his fingers apart.
“It’s open… really open…” He says, the nerves in his voice not hiding whatsoever.
“Ok, ok. That’s good! The EMTs will be there in 5 minutes ok? They’ll make it before you push.” She smiles
He nods as he wipes his fingers covered in birth fluid on a nearby towel. “Ok…”
He lets some of his weight lean on the cold porcelain edge of the tub as he feels another contraction building quickly.
“Oooooo ohhhhhhhhh owwwwwwwww!!!! It feels like I need to push!!” He whines loudly
“Ok, ok… blow for the rest of the contraction, don’t push. The EMTs are arriving now…” Ali says
Alex nods and starts blowing out breaths loudly “Hoooooo haaaaaa hooooooo haaaaahhhhhhhhh!” He moans as the contraction peaks and the EMTs come through the door.
“EMS! Alex?!” A woman’s voice rings through the apartment
“In here!!!” He gasps out as a woman about the same age as him comes through the door.
“Hi Alex, my name is Emma… I’m gonna help you ok? I’d like to check you and see where we’re at. Is that ok?”
He nods and stays on his knees, leaning back a bit, as she reaches in her bag and snaps some gloves on.
“Alright, here I go….” She says and gently slides her fingers into his tight vagina, feeling his cervix as gently as she can.
“Ok… yep. You’re 10, it’s time to have a baby… on the next contraction don’t hold back. Gimme everything you’ve got.”
Alex nods, holding onto the edge of the tub with both his hands.
He feels his belly tighten and takes a deep breath, pushing down hard as he throws his head back and whimpers loudly. “Ohhhhhhhhh!”
His vagina bulges forward with his push, the skin around it going bright red with his effort, a tiny opening appearing as a sliver of black hair shows.
“I see your baby Alex, you’re doing amazing. Take some deep breaths and go again!” Emma smiles big
He nods and takes a few deep breaths, before he bears down, curling over his belly as his vagina opens wide, bright red with effort as the head shoots forward.
“Ohhhhhh owwwww it’s burning!!!” He whines
Emma nods and smiles. “That’s your baby’s head! You’re crowning beautifully!”
Alex starts panting loudly as he’s soaked in sweat. “Ohhhhhh godddddd, it burns! Oh god!” He moans
“I know, a few more pushes and it won’t anymore.”
He nods and whimpers as he feels another contraction and bears down, pushing hard as he curls around his belly.
“Yes that’s it!” Emma smiles as the baby’s head stretches his bright red lips wide open as it sides into a full crown.
“Ok, pant now. Feel the head if you want. You’re doing amazing!”
Alex starts panting loudly as he puts both his hands on the baby’s head.
“Ohhh wow! That’s her head! There’s so much hair!”
Emma nods and giggles. “Yeah! I’m gonna have you pant for a few more seconds then we’re gonna push her head out ok?”
He nods and keeps panting, his face soaked in sweat and red from his efforts.
The baby’s head inches out more and Emma watches at it stretches him wide.
“Ok Alex, push the head out.”
Alex, exhausted, nods and takes a deep breath in, pushing down hard. “Ohhhhhh ughhhhhhhhhhh!”
He grunts deeply as he holds the push and after a second, feels the pressure in his lips release as the baby’s head slides out.
“Good Alex, the head is out. Relax now, I need to check for a cord.”
Alex nods and smiles weakly as he removes his hands from the baby’s head.
Emma feels around the baby’s neck gently and smiles. “Cord is clear. Next push we’ll have a baby.”
Alex nods and breaths loudly. “Hooooo… hmmmmmmmm…. Ohhhhhhh!” He moans as he feels the contraction coming.
“Ok Alex, hard as you can now!”
Alex nods and takes a deep breath, pushing down as hard as he can, curling over his belly.
“Nghhhhhhhhhuhhhhhhhhh!”
In one motion the shoulders pop out, one, then the next before the body slides out and Emma hands him his daughter.
“You did it Alex!”
Alex smiles wide as he holds Ella close. “Ohhh hi princess! Thank you for being so easy for daddy…” he looks down at the bright pink, crying baby in his arms.
