Around 5 am, the nurses said that your head was visible. Amma started pushing hard, but you would not come out any further. The nurses had asked the duty doctor, Mrs Mcbride to come. Then the nurses asked me to take a look at your head. Some 4 cm of your head was visible. It had a bulge to it. And so, it made an impression, that all your head was only 4 cm diameter. It didnt seem proportionally right. But, what do we know!
Amma was still pushing, and the nurses said that they had to use the vacuum thing to take the baby out. But amma thought that the vacuum pump will hurt you and started pushing vigorously. The situation was quite serious, and since I was engrossed in it too, I had completely forgotten about taking pictures or video. Once I realized this, I could not take out the camera right away, asking myself, whether it was the right time, or if it would be ok, etc.
At one point, your head started coming out, and the nurses had to ask amma, to take it easy, till the doctor arrived. Doctor arrived. They put a cloth over ammas chest to place you. Then they pulled the medical cart closer to Amma, and encircled amma around her foot. The doctor asked whether I wanted to cut the cord. Amma replied yes, in a hurry, thinking I might run away!!! Amma pushed more. And kept trying. Suddenly. The doctor took a scalpel. Or scissors. And cut Amma before I could protest. I thought she could have waited a little longer. Then the doctor grabbed your head and pulled you out. You slid comfortably and glided out. You were sticky and cute! Your head size was not small, but just right and I realised the doctor could have been just right too in deciding not to wait! It was 5.23 am.
