A mothers instinct

She is one center meter dilated
The nurse said me now thinks
Not what we had anticipated
Still trust a womans instincts

Now rushed to labour ward
 Beeping sound of every alarm
Because babys inbelical cord
Was wrapped around his arm:

Labour stage not quite reached!
Still was a case of touch and go
Now told the baby is breached"
And heart rate begun to slow!

Rushed to theater no time for delay
Not wanting to get our selfs jinxed
But this little one is being born today
Trust me trust a womans instincts!


Old write from 2015 spare of moment 
Play on words was going change add too
But thought leave as wrote at that time...
