Video: Mãe dá à luz no carro a caminho do hospital

Esta mãe deu à luz o seu quinto filho no banco do passageiro de um carro em movimento, à frente dos seus filhos, que assistiram à chegada do irmão mais novo, enquanto a mãe gritava de dor.

Nas imagens chocantes do nascimento, Alexis, de 25 anos, é vista ajoelhada no banco do passageiro do carro, de frente para a janela, enquanto o seu marido, Dominique, leva a família para um hospital no Texas, Estados Unidos, enquanto filma a sua esposa.

“Podes esperar, tipo, dois minutos?” pergunta o marido à mãe de cinco filhos, que pode ser vista agachada no assento, nua da cintura para baixo, enquanto se contorce de dor, implorando ao marido para ajudá-la.

There was something beyond special, about getting to deliver my own baby. No doctors or nurses, no lights, or busy people, no one interrupting a moment that should be the most special moments for families as they bring life into the world. The pain was there, but the joy and peace that followed in those minutes we got to spend alone with our sweet girl was more rewarding then anything I could have asked for. I honestly think that God allowed me to deliver safely in the car, instead of making it to the hospital, because He knew that my desire for a birth that was without interruption and full of hormones between baby and I, that desire was so deep. And something that the hospital just couldn’t provide for me. People are shocked and often apologize that I didn’t make it to the hospital. They don’t understand that I just experienced something unrivaled to anything I could have imagined. I witnessed my body take over and a baby be born into my hands. My body is not swollen, and I have no tears. I had my husband and children around me, and for 5 minutes, we embraced everything that happened without any interruption. Our family has preferred a unique chaos It was crazy. But it was Amazing. @birthtube @birthwithoutfear @gracedinbirth @mindfulbirthproject @empoweredbirthproject

Apenas alguns segundos depois de pedir ao marido que pare o carro, Alexis dá um último “empurrão” e dá à luz a sua filha.

Alexis pode ser vista a puxar a filha antes de segurá-la nos braços, com o cordão umbilical da criança ainda visivelmente preso à mãe. Alexis sorri de alívio quando a filha começa a chorar.

“Oh, ela teve o bebé”, diz o marido. “Oh meu Deus. Oh meu Deus, acabamos de ter um bebé no carro. Meu Deus.”

Enquanto postava o vídeo na página do Instagram da família, a mãe falou sobre a sua história de nascimento única.

“Foi algo muito especial, em conseguir dar à luz  o meu próprio bebé no carro”, escreveu.

“Nenhum médico ou enfermeiro, sem luzes, ou pessoas ocupadas, ninguém interrompendo um momento que deveria ser um dos momentos mais especiais para as famílias enquanto elas trazem vida ao mundo…”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” So we took our first family photo yesterday.. It went just as planned, obviously! Our daughter got out of school at 3 Hubby helped bring in groceries at 3:30 We woke the boys up and threw clothes on them at 3:35 Mommy put some makeup on and made it look like she brushed her hair at 3:40 Phone started ringing at 3:45 Together we gathered ourselves and the kids, and sat in front of the makeshift camera set up, and patiently waited for the first of many interviews to begin! (And it went great) then we quickly set the timer for 10 seconds and took this photo. The first complete family photo. Seriously, how perfect is this? And we got 7 people ready in under 45 minutes! I’m counting my blessings just looking at all the things that are so right with this photo.. I’m in love with how imperfect it is.. Life is crazy, and we can’t stop the time from getting away from us.. The only thing we can stop is ourselves. We can stop and snap a photo without a posting it right away We can stop and kiss someone without needing anything else We can stop and thank God… even if we don’t know what we’re thanking him for, because life is not going as planned, we can stop.. we can stop and find something to be thankful for ❤️
