Meet Teddy and his mom KC, a second-year Dell Med student. They share a pretty spectacular birth story: "When I woke on the morning of Teddy’s birth, I thought that I had slept poorly in anticipation of my final exam of my first year. In retrospect, I was probably in the beginning stages of labor. While the school and I had established a contingency plan for my exams, I really wanted to be finished with my first year before my son’s arrival." "So, as I walked into the Mechanisms of Disease (MOD) final, I ignored my body because my contractions were nothing more than light cramps. By question 90 of 120, my contractions could no longer be ignored, but I decided I had come too far to stop now and pushed through the remainder of the exam." "After I finished, I called my husband to tell him we were going to have a baby. He suggested that we time contractions and I am embarrassed to say that they were 3 minutes apart! I had no intention of giving birth in the Health Learning Building (although I know I would have been in excellent hands with my classmates) and luckily my classmate Chris was able to help me get packed up. He checked to see if my friend and classmate Allison was finished with her test so she could drive me to the hospital. While I love all my classmates, she is the person I most trusted to stay calm on the off chance we were going to deliver a baby on the side of the road." "My test pump-up music (and as it turns out Teddy Bear's pump-up music), was blasting in my car as I called the hospital and my doctor’s office while Allison directed us — and looked for good places to stop and have a baby, if required. I’m not sure whether she or I was more relieved when we made it to the hospital." "My water broke at 11:55 a.m. as I was checking in. Theodore was born at 12:04, and as I understand it, the MOD final ended at 12:05." "I am so thankful to everyone who helped me get through this year of medical school as well as the day of Teddy’s birth. We are doing great but I am also excited to join my classmates out on the wards for clinical rotations!" @kaceface31
