A father has broadcasted on Facebook his wife’s emergency C-section, capturing everything while she was on the operating table.
Video blogger Stephen Skinner, 32, and wife, Holly, 28, were going to hospital for Holly to be induced and Stephen was expecting to capture the water birth of their first child on camera.
However, things didn’t go as planned by the first-time parents, from London, and doctors decided to perform a C-section after the baby’s head moved into a sideways position, also known as an unstable lie — a condition that happens during the latter stages of pregnancy and forces the baby to move vertically and horizontally as opposed to a head first position suitable for child birth.
Thankfully, the couple overcame the issues and baby Atlas was born on December 28 weighing a healthy 9Ibs 9 ounces.
In the video produced by Channel Mum, a YouTube channel that produces pregnancy blogs, Stephen can be seen fitting into nursing garb and can hardly contain his excitement, while a tired looking Holly was filmed in agony, crying in pain and undertaking exercises at home on a birthing ball as she tried to speed up the process over the holiday period.
As the video camera was allowed in the birthing room, it captured the moment baby Atlas was born and his first few moments in a bloodied towel with his delighted yet very tired mother.
In the closing video, Holly said: “It has been hard but I would do it all other again. He is perfect”
The couple, also known as by their online pseudonyms of NomadiDaddy and TheTinyMumma, have published the videos they made from the early stages of the pregnancy up to the birth of their child on their private channels.
