This is a true story contest entry rich in theme and imagery.
It's one of those things that make you want to cry.
...
I went through something with my youngest daughter Dana
But she was born with the cord wrapped around her neck.
Well fortunately, the nurse listen to me.
They inserted a internal monitor inside my wife and realized the baby was in distress.
Yes, and would need a cesarian birth immediately.
As, I was getting prepared to go into the operating room. They were already contacting a doctor who fortunately was able to take care.
Yes, without the cesarean or C-section.
And, Dana just celebrated her 37th birthday September 30th
Good luck with this.

Wonderful story! Taut narration is perfectly suited for the tension of the event.

I was at my [Grandsons=>grandson's] home birth.

"What if something goes wrong I thought."
(What if something goes wrong?) I thought. (no quotation marks around thoughts--use parentheses or italics.

She was crying it hurts, tears came to my eyes,
She was crying, "It hurts!" Tears came to my eyes.

"Yes", I exclaimed. "It's coming" she shouted.
"Yes!" I exclaimed. "It's coming!" she shouted.

Breathe we shouted
"Breathe!" we shouted

WOW! What an inspiring story. I enjoyed your contest entry. I'm thrilled everything went well, and your son was there to deliver the baby alone. Your lines read well with great details. Great picture.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan
