The body and the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 do not follow prescribed dates, do not follow prescribed time frames, do not follow the maps of how and when or in what form we are born, but it does it the way it was meant to. It happens anywhere and at any time.
Aren’t women amazing? As the old saying goes: “All your pee is a vagina & floor space”. Or in this case, space in the back seat! Champion maпagemeпt, and lovely born sᴜporters too.
An obstetrician in Brazil gave birth in her car, and the last moment was caught on camera.
In an Instagram video posted on October 24, Dr. Gabriela Correia, 33, shows herself having a parking lot at a gas station. Correia was accompanied by her husband, Gilberto Godoy, Doña Joaía Nés, fellow obstetrician/gynecologist Larissa Gomes, and photographer Deborah Ghelma, who documented the entire delivery.
While speaking to local Globo banks, Correia said she and Godoy called for reinforcements when it became clear they weren’t going to get to the hospital in time. Correia was 9 centimeters dilated. Once her cervix has reached 10 centimeters, it’s time to start moving.
“He had a good support system,” Correia said. According to Ghelma, everyone in the vehicle remained calm while reading Adreali.
“There was fear, only joy,” Ghelma told TODAY Pareßts in Portᴜgᴜese, which was translated, noting that Correia specializes in delivering babies and “everyone was well prepared.”
Ghelma said she’s pleased the video is garnering worldwide attention because it shows what women are capable of without medical interventions like epidurals.
“She is in charge of her body and of the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦,” Ghelma said.
“We were anxious to find out if it was a boy or a girl, but we chose to wait and find the moment and experience a different adventure,” Correia explained in the interview with the globe. “I just didn’t think it would be that different at the office!”
Artᴜr, who was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 on October 24, has already been released from the hospital and is at home with his family.
“He is super healthy and wonderful,” Correia told the Brazilian newspaper. He also thanked his support network.
“Everyone participated if the birth had accompanied me in difficult moments. I went through the loss of my first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, and it was very painful, ”he told the Brazilian media. “They were with me and supported me in that process. So, it’s a long journey that I’ve had with them.”
