I gave birth to my son without the nurse even realising & my husband didn’t notice either – he was watching a film
IT’S a painful process and one, which, for many people lasts a long time.
But for one woman, giving birth to her second son happened so quickly and painlessly that neither she, her fiance or the nurse realised that her son had made his arrival into the world.
Elimarie took to TikTok to share a video revealing her birth story, explaining that she chose to get induced after having a successful induction with her first child.
Going in in the early hours of the morning, she was immediately started on the drugs to begin the induction.
Things progressed quickly and she was soon at 4cm dilation, at which point she had an epidural.
“I was laying on one side but then that side started to get numb so I flipped to the other side after about 15 minutes, and I like felt something between my legs,” she said.

“I reached my hand down there and all I felt was the catheter wire. So I didn’t think anything of it.”
At that point, the nurse ended up losing the baby’s heartbeat on the monitor, so got up to check what was going on.
“Since I felt that little thing I made a joke saying, ‘Oh, he’s probably already out’,” she said.
“So she lifted up the cover and sure enough he was right there.

“She picked up my legs real fast, she called the nurses.
“I looked over to my fiance, he had his headphones on watching a movie on the iPad.
“He didn’t even know what was going on so I was like, ‘He’s here! He’s here!’ and he was like, ‘What?!’”
After realising what had happened, her fiance grabbed the camera to start recording.
“I would say it’s probably the easiest, best labour story ever in my nurses, my OB, everyone was freaking out, laughing – it was a really really great experience,” she said.
“I was laughing the whole time in the video.
“It was awesome, I loved it.”
People in the comments section were quick to praise Elimarie for sharing her birth story, as one wrote: “That’s so wild!!! The epidural did its job to the max.
“I’ve never heard of this happening, but what a smooth and relaxed way to give birth!!”
