One of the hardest parts about pregnancy is that you have no idea how it’ll end. Hopefully, in a hospital safe and sound. But there’ve been stories. When a woman’s body is ready, there’s a chance it won’t wait. While it can often lead to a fun story later in life, it’s a lot scarier these days with different hospital procedures.
Just ask David and Sarah Rose Patrick. The couple had been anxiously awaiting the birth of their child, who was due on May 17. Yet since these things are unpredictable, Sarah started experiencing severe labor pains on May 9.
Sarah isn’t new to the idea of pregnancy, so she was likely on high alert. According to People, the couple already have two children, who’d be watched by David’s parents throughout the birth. The couple then went to Louisville’s Baptist Health Hospital, but saw that the entrance wasn’t open.
“I tell my wife, ‘We need to just go back to the car and go to the emergency room because we know they’ll be open,’” David said. But before they got to the car, Sarah’s water broke. With nobody else around, David tried his hardest to take on the role of doctor. But how he handled the umbilical cord is like something you’d see on television.
