But then Ezra wakes up around 3:30 am. “When I went to the toilet, my water broke. I felt a great urge to push. I shook my husband awake and said, ‘He’s coming now! Our baby is coming!’ He ran downstairs to call the midwife. I went into the shower. I felt like I had to kiss. I felt carefully and I could feel her head already. “
“I tried to stop pushing, but I couldn’t. I pushed twice, caught her and immediately put her on my chest. I panicked for a moment because she wasn’t crying, but when I heard her breathing, I calmed down.”
The text continues below the picture.
In the meantime, her husband is still busy calling the midwife. “I heard Yusuf say: ‘You must come now, because she is having contractions.’ The midwife was on loudspeaker. I shouted, “She’s already here.” He looked at me and said again that I was having contractions. Only then did he realize what had happened. He looked at me and was in shock.”
Maternal instinct
The midwife advises Esra to sit down so she can’t fall with her new daughter Ayla Dua. “Ten minutes later she was there. My son was still asleep in our bed next to him. Next to it I ejected the placenta. An hour later he woke up. He was wondering what was going on and who the people were in the room,” laughs Ezra.
How does she look back on the birth? “If it was my first one, I don’t know if I would have started a second one. The week before the birth was very intense. The initial contractions I suffered, in retrospect, were just contractions. But it was also special to know that I was able to do this on my own. I didn’t panic and thanks to my mother’s instincts I knew exactly what to do. “
Find your way
Ayla Dua is now two months old. “I’m grateful that everything is going so well. My husband has parental leave he was admitted and has been off work for six weeks. He went to the petting zoo with Ayaz almost every day, while I took care of our daughter. I think it’s exciting that he’s going back to work, but we’ll find our way around that. “
