Baby boy could not wait to see the world for just one minute longer.
*some readers may find the below images graphic.
Jes Hogan is a mum of six from Kansas in the US. After experiencing some contractions, Jes went to the hospital only to find that she was just 3cm dilated. She returned home with husband Travis to continue labouring at home.
After one long, powerful contraction, she knew things were finally progressing. “Travis, I think this is it,” she told her husband.
“As we neared the last turn to the hospital I began screaming that the baby was coming. He honked the horn rapidly as I screamed through the contractions and he pulled quickly into the ER drive,” she says.
Ms Hogan and her husband made it just past the second set of automatic doors in the ER. The couple’s photographer had also arrived and yelled to the hospital staff that Ms Hogan was going to have the baby. Immediately.
“I know at this point I said something to the effect of, ‘oh god, he’s here.’ Then I started to take my pants off because I could feel my body pushing the baby’s head out.”
Her husband told her that the nurse that first reached them was supporting her baby’s head. “He still had his hands on baby’s head too, as well as my back while they laid us down. That same nurse gently removed his cord that was loosely around his neck. He arrived on the floor just inside the entrance of the emergency room at 3:38 am. Less than 5 minutes from the time my water broke at home,” she says.
