The Birth of My First Child.

A detailed Summary of The Birth of My First Child.

Witnessing the birth of my first child.

Giving birth to life is a miracle. Most women give birth naturally. Some women cannot give birth naturally, these women due to science have to be assisted by a procedure called caesarian section.

Firstly, I felt nervous because after eight months of pregnancy, our doctor advised us the baby was not turning. The doctor went on to say, that these cases sometimes happen and not to be alarmed.
