Karen & baby boy!

Karen was induced at 34 weeks due to high blood pressure. Her labour lasted 16 hours and was very interesting and eventful.

She spent the first 16 hours only dilated 0-5 cm. After hours of no progression the baby was going to be delivered by c-section.

When Karen was prepped for surgery she had the urge to push. The nurse checked her and she was at 10cm and the head was coming, fast. I’ve never seen nursing staff move so quickly. The baby was delivered in about 5 seconds on the gurney!

The baby was healthy even though he was a bit on the tiny side. He spent a week in NICU, but after gaining a bit of weight went home to a very happy mom.
