Hotel birth of a stuck baby

Sara was 28 years old.

She had waist-long brown hair, brown eyes, big firm breasts and a huge round pregnant belly. Her hair was usually in a braid, hanging over her left shoulder.

She was heavily pregnant or better said, heavily overdue with her sixth baby.

 

Usually she would avoid long drives but not this one. She had read an article about a special place and she had to go there. It was a birth hotel with really great references. Pregnant woman could go there to give birth unassisted. Of course there were doctors to call, in case of complications but after 5 bad hospital births, she didn't want to see a doctor this time.

It took her around 6 hours to get to the hotel, but she knew it would be worth it.

Once she arrived, she got out of her car, took her bags and walked inside to check-in.

After filling out a form, she was brought to one of the doctors for a little check-up and to make sure her baby was healthy to be born alone. She was told that everything was fine, but to be careful to not push too soon or to hard, because the baby was bigger than the average birth size.

On the way to her room, she met another pregnant woman on the floor, moving her hips in circles. She greeted her and continued her way.

Her room was really nice. A big wardrobe, a large bed, a birthing stool, a rope hanging from the ceiling, a baby crib and other useful tools.

It was nearly time for dinner, so Sara left her room and once she reached the stairs, she heard a loud scream. She followed the voice and around the corner was an open door and Sara's eyes went wide at what she saw. There were 3 girls sitting on the bed. One with a baby halfway between her legs, one with a baby on her arms but still huge and another one was panting in agony. Maybe sisters?

Sara closed the door very carefully and walked down.

In the dining room, she noticed more pregnant women.

"Excuse me miss, how many women are in this hotel right now?"

"Let me think. There should be 9 women here, including you and me. 3 of them should be on your floor probably giving birth any minute now. And 2 other women were in advanced labor during breakfast today. Oh and 1 didn't came down since yesterday morning."

"Shouldn't you check on her then?"

"No, she is fine. She knows what to do, it's not her first time being here."

"Oh, okay."

Sara ate her dinner and went to bed right after it. She was overdue since 12 days now and if she would've known what was coming, she probably would've stayed at home.

This birth wouldn't be easy at all.

After a peaceful night, Sara noticed some cramping while dressing up. She was in labor. The contractions were coming every 10 minutes, lasting between 30 and 60 seconds. Putting on a white blouse and black pants, she went to eat breakfast. Afterwards she took a long walk outside. She never experienced active labor so fast. Usually it would take around 2 days until the contractions come regular and longer.

It was nearly 6 PM, when Sara reached the hotel entrance.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"

She moaned through the contraction and hold her belly with one hand. They were coming every 5 minutes now and this one was the strongest one until now, lasting around 90 seconds. She waited for 2 more but they seemed to be weaker again, so she went to eat dinner. Sara could deal with each new contraction until she went to her bedroom. Trying to sleep early didn't helped much. Even though she went to bed at 10:30 PM, she woke up with stronger contractions around 3:30 AM. Sara waddled around in her room, trying her best to deal with the pain.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"

She clung hard to the rope and breathed deeply.

3 Minutes later came another one.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"

This one lasted also 90 seconds and after a few more, she really wanted to call for help, but then she remembered that she didn't wanted any help this time.

Focusing on her labor, Sara somehow managed to deal with it, until it was time for breakfast. Ignoring her appearance, she got down to at least get a little snack. She kinda forced herself to eat something. Luckily she was too early and no one else was there yet, because no one would wanted to see what would happen next.

Sara got up to get one last thing to eat but another contraction run through her.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"

As soon as she straightened her back, she felt something different.

Her legs began shaking uncontrollably and she needed to support herself on the table in front of her.

The next pain build and Sara felt something she never felt during her previous pregnancies. She breathed through it but her body started shaking wildly, she nearly fell to her knees. Once the pain was over, the next one started. Sara tossed her head back, screaming in pain and gasped in surprise as a huge gush of water erupted out of her.

Sara couldn't move anymore, the pain was still there.

The waitress and one of the doctors came in running with a wheelchair. They brought her to one of their examination rooms and let her work with the pain a bit.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Oh god, this hurts... oooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!"

They gave her the time to deal with the pain and 45 minutes later, it was finally gone, leaving her breathless.

It was exactly 7 AM, when she laid down onto the bed in the examination room.

"Ok, now, please spread your legs. We can't let you go to your room, until you are fully dilated."

The doctor checked her and told her, she was only at 8 cm. She was kindly asked to labor around inside the examination room until she reached 10 cm and Sara agreed to it, otherwise they wouldn't allow her an unassisted birth.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo...!!"

Time passed during which Sara had tons of contractions but as soon as the doctor came back to her, she had another one.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh God, it hurts!"

Sara got checked afterwards.

"OK Miss, you're ready to push. It's still high but I could feel the head. Allow me to help you and to bring you to your room!"

The brown-haired mother-to-be was brought to her room by the doctor and he simply said to call the lobby if there were any complications. She waddled into her room, closed the door and managed to reach the rope just in time.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!! Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hooooooooooooo...!!"

Sara stayed standing near the rope and worked through the contractions every 3 minutes while she felt a strong pressure building up inside her.

It seemed like the baby had moved into position now, since she could feel it grinding against her cervix.

30 minutes and many contractions later, it was around 11:17 AM, she felt something like a burning from inside her. There was also this intense pressure on her hips. The baby really seemed to push at her cervix now. Sara undressed and layed down on the bed to get a bit more comfortable and to rest a bit, but it wasn't for long.

Once the contraction was gone, she placed both hands on her belly and breathed, until another one run through her, not even 1 minute later.

Sara arched her back, pushing her whole body up in the air while screaming in pain. This was the most powerful one she ever had and it was overwhelming her. The baby's head was clearly trying to move down, opening her cervix even wider while the baby's body was squeezed by the immense force of her uterus.

The contraction lasted nearly 2 minutes and not even 1 minute later, another one like that passed through her body. She did the same again. Arched her back and screamed in pain until it was over again.

Sara bit her lip and tried to change her position onto all-fours but as soon as she felt the heavy weight on her cervix, she screamed and moved her hips frantically from side to side.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Oh my Goooood!!Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

The need to push was driving her crazy.

 

It was exactly 12 AM when Sara grabbed her pillow, hides her face in it and grunted really loud. Her cervix was stretched beyond it's limits once more and with one final big contraction, the baby's head slipped through it and shifted into her tight birth canal.

The laboring woman clutched her big round belly with the next unbearable contraction and risked it. She bit into the pillow and gave a massive push.

"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!! Hee hee hoo... hee hee hoo... hee hee hoo... hee hee hoo... hee hee hoo... Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

The enormous head slowly moved down inside her, but it felt much more intense than she could remember.

After a few contractions, she reached down between her legs, only to find a huge bulge there. Sara pushed hard, she was starting getting sweaty and her brown hair was sticking against her face.

Why did she wanted to have an unassisted birth again? Oh right, because she wanted to be in control of the birth and her body, but right now, she felt like lost everything. She couldn't really control herself anymore.

The bulge between her legs grew bigger.

Sara runs her fingers over her swollen lips. With each new push, the head bulged out a little bit more, but it sunk back in as soon as she stopped pushing.

Sara was frustrated. It seemed like her body still didn't know how to give birth, without having a doctor telling and screaming at her to push. She could do it. After 5 births, she knew she could do it on her own.

With the next contraction, Sara did what she usually did during a birth. She pushed her chin against her chest, spread her legs as good as possible and bore down.

"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!! Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!"

It took a while, but her baby finally decided to move further out. Her nether lips were slowly pulled open into a fat almond shape. After several more contractions, Sara was heard groaning frantically.

The baby's head really started to crown and it slowly pulled her lips into a wide "O" shape.

She wanted to know what time it was, but her phone was on the table across the room and the clock seemed to stand still. Forcing her body to get up, she somehow managed to do it and waddled slowly to her phone. Believe it or not, there wasn't any contractions, but the downward pressure was so intense. Once she could read the time (12:38 PM) Sara turned around to grab the ropes with the next contraction and bore down again.

"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!"

She moved her hips in wide circles, groaned at the pressure and bore down with each new agonizing pain. After an endless amount of pushes, Sara suddenly threw her head back and spread her legs wider. The head seemed to have crowned to it's widest point.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Oh God, it hurts! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It hurts so bad!! Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!"

Sara breathed frantically and tried to ignore the agonizing pain, which was clearly impossible.

Panic was building once Sara felt the crown getting bigger and the pain got even worse. Her legs were tired from holding her big body upright during those hours. Sinking onto the floor, she let go of the rope and fell forward a bit, now she was on her hand and knees again, while her vagina was being pulled open like never before. Blowing frantically didn't helped much, but somehow her body could stretch a little bit more.

Sara pushed hard again, but nothing really happened. Her baby stayed at a full crown. Another hard push, and another one and another agonizing one but there was still no movement.

She straightened her back, grabbed the rope with both hands and pushed again.

"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh... aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh... hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh!!"

It felt like an eternity that Sara pushed in that position and she began to worry about her baby. Was it stuck? Should she call for help?

Letting go of the rope again, she crawled to the bed and dialed the number of the hotel lobby on the hotel phone.

"Hello Miss Sara, how can we help you? Do you have some problems with your... oh...?"

"Help me! Please! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! My baby... hoo hoo hoo... I think it's stuck... it's... aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh... it's not moving anymore!"

She finished the call only to scream through the unbearable contraction and still, her vagina was holding her baby in place.

15 minutes after the phone call, someone knocked on her door and the doctor walked in. He immediately began checking the mother-to-be and her baby.

"How long is your baby in this position?"

"Don't know exactly... hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo... since 12 o'clock... I think... I push like a fool... and... aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh... it's not moving anymore..."

The skin of her vagina was bloodless and turned paper thin around the baby's head and the bulge was still immense. No wonder she struggled.

Sara didn't knew it but she was stuck in this position for over 3 hours already.

"Ok Miss, you have to lay down on your back please. I will try to push your vaginal skin back so you can stretch a little bit more. I won't touch you too much if possible, so you can still have your unassisted birth!"

The laboring woman nod and layed down on the floor. The doctor run his fingers over her overstretched skin and tried to push it away while she pushed. He couldn't fit his fingers inside her anymore so he would've tried something else. After several failed attempts, he moved behind her, leaned over her and placed his hands on top of her huge round belly.

"Okay Miss, this might be really painful, but please push with all you have! We have to get your baby out, right?"

Sara collected all her breath and strength and did what the doctor told her.

"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!"

They repeated the procedure for roughly 30 minutes until she finally felt something else, except the sheer pain and agony she felt the whole time.

"Oh God... I... I think... aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh... it's moving again..."

After these words, the doctor let go of her and moved back in front of her.

Instinctively she grabbed the rope and pulled her upper body up a bit, ready to push again.

"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"That's it! I can see it's forehead. Now the eyes are coming! Don't stop, please continue pushing!"

Sara gripped the rope harder and pushed like never before.

"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhh! Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggghhhhhh! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The head moved forward until the nose was out, followed by the upper lip, the lower lip and the chin. Another gush of water left her again and the doctor told her, that the head was born.

He quickly checked the baby, made sure there was no cord and that it was clearly breathing, until he could hear her groan again.

"Push... I want to push..."

"It's a bit to early as it hasn't turned around yet, but go ahead if you have to."

With one hand on top of her belly and one around the rope, Sara just wanted this to be over.

"Hee hee hoo hee hee hoo hee hee hoo hee hee hooo hee hee hoo aaaaaahhhhh aaaaaahhhhh aaaaaahhhhhh aaaaaahhhhhh aaaaaaaahhhhhh... here it comes! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh... it's comiiiiiiiiiing! Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!"

The doctor couldn't believe his eyes, but this seemed to be her strongest push ever.

The baby suddenly turned to the side and after 2 more pushes, it slipped out while the mother collapsed backwards onto the floor.

She lost consciousness, so he quickly called his colleagues and took care of the baby.

 

 

When Sara woke up, she was in her room and the doctor sat right next to her. He smiled at her and handed her her baby.

"Congratulations! You gave birth to a beautiful 13 pounds baby boy! He is totally fine so please don't worry!"

After these words, he got up and left the room. Sara started feeding her baby boy and tried to realize the fact that she gave birth to a baby with 13 pounds.

None of her 5 babies were over 10 pounds!
