Hera's Delivery Day
The dark night turned into a bright morning. Hera's pregnancy had now reached nine months.
The day began with warm sunlight shining into their room. Hera woke up with a strange feeling, as if something was different. She rubbed her growing belly, feeling small movements from within. Gently, she woke Max, who was still asleep beside her.
“Max, wake up! I think today is special,” she whispered, shaking her husband.
Max opened his eyes to see Hera’s radiant face. “What’s happening, dear?” he asked, half-asleep.
“I feel like... maybe it’s time,” Hera replied, her voice trembling with hope.
Hearing Hera’s words, Max immediately became fully alert. “Are you serious? Let’s check!” He quickly grabbed the phone and called their doctor.
After a few minutes of waiting, the doctor advised them to go to the hospital. Max took the bag they had prepared earlier and helped Hera to her feet.
“Are you ready?” Max asked, looking at her lovingly.
Hera nodded, feeling a bit nervous but also excited. “I’m ready. We can do this together.”
At the Hospital
Upon arriving at the hospital, they were greeted by friendly staff. The atmosphere in the waiting room felt tense, but Max held Hera’s hand tightly, providing support.
“This is just a process, sweety. We’ve prepared for this,” Max whispered, trying to calm her.
Hera took a deep breath, trying to stay relaxed. They proceeded to the delivery room, where the doctor and nurses were waiting. The room was filled with medical equipment and a supportive atmosphere.
Hera's labor progressed.
After an examination, the doctor informed them that Hera was in the early stages of labor. “We will start preparing everything,” the doctor said calmly.
Hera felt her first contraction and bit her lip. “This... is more painful than I imagined,” she said, trying to endure the pain.
Max was right by her side, encouraging her. “You’re amazing, Hera. Remember our breathing exercises.” He gently stroked the top of her head and kissed her forehead several times.
They practiced together, controlling their breaths to stay calm. Although the pain intensified, Hera felt Max's support making her stronger.
As several hours passed, the contractions became closer and stronger. “I don’t know how much longer I can hold on,” Hera complained, sweat dripping from her forehead.
“Focus on our goal, sweety. Our baby is almost here,” Max reassured her, looking at her with concern.
Hera gripped Max’s hand tighter. With every contraction, she tried to remember everything they had learned. Finally, the doctor informed them that it was time to push.
The Birth of the Little One
With determination, Hera began to push. The room was filled with sounds of effort and support from the doctor and nurses.
“Good job, Hera! One more time!” the doctor commanded, her voice firm yet gentle.
With the strength she had left, Hera pushed with all her might. “I can do this!” she yelled, her spirit unwavering.
After what felt like an eternity, a loud cry of a baby filled the air. That sound brought immeasurable joy to their hearts.
“Congratulations, you have a son!” the doctor announced, handing the little baby to Hera.
Hera cried tears of joy, gazing at the tiny, red, adorable face. “Honey, look at him! We did it!” she said, her voice filled with emotion, her eyes sparkling.
Max smiled widely, tears of happiness streaming down his cheeks. “He’s perfect, sweety. So perfect.”
Hera cradled their son, feeling an overwhelming warmth and love. “Welcome to the world, dear. We love you,” she said, gently kissing the baby's head.
After a while, their family arrived at the hospital to see the new addition. As they entered, a heartfelt and joyful atmosphere enveloped the room.
“Is the mother and baby healthy?” asked Hera’s mother with a wide smile.
“Yes, everything went smoothly,” Max replied with pride.
Their family gathered around, admiring the newborn baby. The moment was filled with congratulations, prayers, and affection.
Meanwhile, the doctor ensured that Hera had enough time and space to rest, recovering from the exhausting delivery process.
With all these steps, the doctor aimed to ensure that both Hera and the baby received the necessary attention to start their new journey healthily and happily.
That delivery day became an unforgettable moment for Hera and Max, marking the beginning of their new journey as parents filled with love and hope. Amid laughter and happy tears, they knew that their new life as a family had just begun.
