I could never forget that day. The little bun was finally taken out of the oven on a very rainy afternoon. It was an experience that quieted so many chatters inside my mind and which made me never to see life in the same way again. We had been expecting all these nine months that the child would have a normal birth so we were very relaxed. I was lying down on the delivery bed of the clinic- dextrose tube and all- then on the last minute of labor the doctor discovered that there was a cord prolapse, a condition where the umbilical cord was constricted at the opening of the cervix, and that if I would move any further, in a matter of minutes due to the constriction, the blood supply would be cut off from the child and the child could die. So they transferred me to another hospital, and along the way calling the hospital to prepare the operating room as fast as possible. The doctor kept telling me, don't move, don't move. I thought it could happen only in the movies- and to others- and definitely not to me. But there I was on the steel table, injected with a lot of drugs and tubes – staring at the numerous lights hanging from the ceiling, medical men and women moving about in a haze. Darkness came next. You'd know what happened next- cut me up and pull the baby out. From the moment the operation started, it only took nine minutes until the child was delivered. Good evening, darling baby. If there was one question I would like to ask the child, I think it would be 'Where have you been?' Really, where have babies been? When I looked at her, her eyes were open as though she had been to a place that I didn't know. Tell me, tell me. But the baby was quiet and has very curious eyes. She was held to me by the attending nurse, and shivering and perspiring (drug- induced)there on a bed on a dark corner all numbed and drugged, I could not reach out so I told her 'Hold her for me'. |
