This is what happened to the Florida nurse
Based on Fox 35 Orlando, Dejanique Milligana nurse in Lakeland, Florida, gave birth to her first child, a son, on Thursday, May 9. Milligan was reportedly at home when her baby was born three weeks early.
The agency reported that the ordeal occurred at 3:45 a.m
“When I pee, there’s a lot of pressure,” she explained to the outlet. “So I crawled to the living room and there he was. I pushed him out.”
Milligan explained that she was “just praying and hoping that he was still breathing.”
“When he came out and he was crying, I was like, ‘Okay, we’re good.’” she recalled.
The mother spoke up after the unexpected ordeal
Milligan explained to the newspaper that she did not experience “usual symptoms” before giving birth, such as contractions when her water broke. Additionally, when reflecting on the ordeal, the nurse explained that she was “nervous” — quite the opposite of how she treats her patients.
“When it’s friends, it’s different because it hits closer to home than when it’s with the patient,” she speaks. “You have to be strong for them. So you may seem calm at the moment to them, but to you, when you’re home alone, you’ll feel anxious.”
How are nurses in Florida doing since giving birth themselves?
According to this source, Milligan was able to give birth within fifteen minutes.
Her son, Drew, was born weighing 6 pounds, 3 ounces and is said to be a “happy and healthy” baby.
While talking to Fox 35 OrlandoMilligan explained that she “couldn’t believe” the ordeal happened to her.
