The Delivery
It was 10 A.M in the morning when everything started. Jim was planning to admit his wife Gloria Riviera to the hospital by lunch. However, his plan was canceled after Gloria’s water broke. The peaceful house was suddenly in chaos.
Remembering this moment Jim later cited his thoughts as:
“As journalists, we should have remembered you can’t plan the news. I’ve covered wars, government crackdowns, and natural disasters. You can make emergency plans: bring your helmet and flak jacket, get to high ground, or get out of Dodge. But don’t try to predict the outcome or the timing. It’s just not worth it.”
After this, the couple immediately decided to go to the hospital. But, Gloria’s physical state was so critical that Jim couldn’t move her even to the door. And, they decided to call an ambulance. Jim carried his wife to the bed.
Even in her worst condition, Gloria managed to shout at her husband saying,
“Strip the sheets! I’m not having this baby on our white wedding linen!”
The worried husband quickly followed his wife’s order and was simultaneously dialing 999. The ambulances were on their way.
But realizing his wife’s condition, he decided to take the matter into his own hands. He prepared warm water and searched for a towel and his final gear, A safety pin.
And guess what? He made it! At 10:52 a.m. he welcomed his son into this world with his own hand. He was the world’s happiest man at that moment.
Eventually, a paramedic entered their room. The child was not as comfortable as the cord was wrapped around his neck. The paramedic took care of the rest. According to them, the child was fine along with the mother.
After this grueling experience, Jim later expressed his respect toward every mother by saying,
“After our first son was born, I told my wife that childbirth should erase any man’s doubt about which is the stronger sex. This experience, well, has me bowing down to her and all mothers—plus the dispatcher and medics from the London Ambulance Service for their impeccable timing.”
