Our Birth Story – A Journey of Strength, Faith & Gratitude
Our journey into parenthood has completely changed our perspective on life. It has redefined who we are — as individuals, as partners, and now, as parents. And if there is one person who stands at the heart of this transformation, it is Dr. Veda Simons.
Dr. Veda is more than a doctor — she is a gifted soul. She doesn’t just help bring babies into the world,she guides people into parenthood. With her presence, her wisdom, and her calm strength, she has helped us not only welcome our baby boy into the world but step into this new chapter of our lives with confidence and love.
We first met Dr. Veda with one wish in our hearts — to experience a normal, natural delivery. And from that moment on, she held our hand, not just medically but emotionally. Her continuous guidance, support, and belief in us became our foundation.
Thanks to her, we prepared for the big day as best as we could — but still, no amount of preparation could quiet the nerves that came when the moment truly arrived.
In the early hours of July 5th, at 1:00 AM, my wife Christina began experiencing strong contractions. We rushed to the hospital, anxious and filled with anticipation. At that point, she was just 1 cm dilated — and we knew the road ahead would be long. But we were ready to face it — together.
As the night turned into morning, the pain grew, and so did Christina’s strength. Every contraction tested us. Every moment demanded patience, courage, and faith. By morning, her dilation had progressed to 3 cm but out baby didn’t descend.
That’s when Dr. Veda stepped in with her grace, calm expertise and took over with confidence and care. She adjusted medications, monitored closely, and offered constant reassurance. By 1:00 PM, Christina had progressed significantly — the baby had dropped fully into the pelvis, and she was almost ready to give birth.
There were no shortcuts. No easy outs. Just raw, real labor. Every breath, every cry, every contraction — it was all leading to him.
At exactly 3:00 PM, after 14 long, unforgettable hours, we heard a sound we’ll never forget: our baby boy’s first cry. The room fell still for a moment, like even the walls were pausing to listen. That cry meant everything. It meant life, love, and the start of something entirely new.
The pain faded. The exhaustion dulled. What remained was a rush of love so intense, it took our breath away. Our baby was here — healthy, perfect, and deeply loved.
This story is one we’ll carry forever — not just of how our son came into the world, but of the strength, love, and support that brought him here. From Christina’s endurance to Dr. Veda’s unwavering care, and the silent prayers whispered between contractions — every moment was a part of something sacred.
And now, the real journey begins — as a family of three. 💛
Forever with love & gratitude
Samson, Christina & our new born
