Giving birth is always one of the happy but also painful experiences that a mother can never forget. The pain of childbirth is often compared to breaking 20 ribs at once. However, there are still cases where the mother is “lucky” and has such an easy birth that even the doctors can’t believe it.
Pregnant mother is sleeping soundly, when the baby comes out, I don’t know when
Laura Thompson, a pregnant teacher from Dallas, Texas, USA, experienced an incredibly gentle birth of her second baby. Laura said that 1 week before her due date, she showed signs of labor, so her family took her to the hospital. However, after 6 hours, her cervix was still very slightly dilated. Because the pain was too much to bear, Laura asked the doctors for an epidural to relieve the pain, but the labor process still showed no signs of progress.
Laura gave birth in her sleep.
By 9 p.m., Laura had lost feeling in her left leg, but her cervix was only 6cm dilated, so no one was worried about her premature delivery. The doctor advised Laura to leave early to regain her strength to give birth. Following the advice, Laura fell asleep at 10 o’clock, but only 20 minutes later, she was awakened by the nurse’s voiceless screams: “The baby is lying on the bed.” It turned out that while Laura was sleeping, the baby decided to come out on her own. The baby is perfectly healthy.
Laura recounted:The nurse regularly came to check on my abdomen. Unexpectedly, this time, when she lifted the blanket over me, she panicked and shouted: ‘The baby is on the bed’. It turned out that Jonesy was lying on my left leg.”
Laura added that when the nurse entered the room, her husband, Nathan Thompson, 34, was snoring. But when he heard the nurse’s voiceless scream, he was startled to stand up, bewildered and panicked when he saw her holding her red baby in her arms.
“I actually burst out laughing when I saw his expression back then. He paced back and forth for a long time, in complete panic and astonishment. It was a surreal moment. Honestly I would believe this if it didn’t happen to us” said the mother of two.
The baby is completely healthy after birth.
Laura also said that when she sleeps, she feels constant pressure below, but not to the point of waking her up. The nurses and doctors were all very excited about the event. One nurse confessed that she had never seen a self-born baby in her three years of work.
The mother who was giving birth fell asleep, the nurse came in and flipped the blanket and shouted
The story was shared by a mother named Amy Dunbar (living in Canada) on Tiktok. When she gave birth to her first daughter, Amy went through 12 hours of painful labor, but her cervix was not open enough to enter the delivery table. Then, the doctor decided to inject an epidural to ease the pain and help Amy keep her strength before the birth.
Amy recalls: “After injecting for a long time, I saw the effect of the drug, no longer felt any pain. A female nurse told me to sleep a little to regain strength. I was also too tired so I fell asleep. A little while later, a nurse came in to check on me and noticed on the monitor that I had just had a pretty strong contraction while I was sleeping, and then less than a minute later, she woke up in a panic again. me and said the screen did not show the baby’s heart rate”.
At this point, the young mother was quite worried but the nurse reassured her that she should check it out. And then when the nurse flipped the blanket Amy was covering, she immediately let out a scream. Amy panicked and asked what was wrong, and received an answer: “The baby has come out on its own.”
This young mother named Amy has also had the experience of giving birth while sleeping.
“Oh, turns out I gave birth in my sleep and the big contraction the nurse saw was when my baby was born.”the mother recounts, but still feels as surprised as the moment she found out her baby was born.
“Then the nurse pulled the blanket off and I saw my daughter curled up like a ball on the bed and not crying at all. My father immediately ran outside shouting: ‘We need help’, attracting attention. all the doctors and nurses rushed into the room to help. I was also a bit scared but after checking, the doctor said that the baby was completely fine and handed it back to me. I picked him up and gently rubbed his back and he started It seems like my daughter likes to do everything her own way, so she gave birth to herself and didn’t cry right away to scare everyone away. but luckily everything was fine in the end“, Amy continued.
Can a woman give birth without knowing it during an epidural?
An epidural is a regional anesthetic to block pain in a specific area of the body. The goal of an epidural is to provide pain medication, not anesthesia, that helps the dura to block nerve impulses from the lower spinal cord. This leads to reduced pain sensation in the lower half of the body.
Even with an epidural, you can still feel the contractions of the uterus. However, there are some women who do not know they are having contractions, from which they cannot control their pushing. Therefore, there will be a few cases of “birth” like Laura or Amy.
