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. I recently witnessed my wife go through this procedure of caesarian section and it was an unnerving, scary and exciting experience I will never forget.

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. He told my wife and I, that if by the due date the baby had not turned, he would have to perform a cesarean section to take the baby out. This news made me tense with nervousness. I felt my wife's life was in jeopardy because of this complication. My wife assured me the caesarian procedure is safe, that doctors have performed this procedure for quite some time.

My daughter did not cry at first, so she suctioned her throat and gave her some oxygen through a mask, then she slapped her bottom again.
