The man had to be clear that, as I remember for the rest of his life, he wanted to have the video of his wife's birth and the birth of his baby. As clear as that, neither short nor lazy, he put his GoPro camera on his head and recorded until the moment they were traveling by car in the direction of the hospital, his wife and he, to give birth.
What surely neither of them expected was that childbirth was imminent. He gave them time to get to the hospital, but not to enter. Just get out of the car, in front of the hospital door, the woman had to lower her pants because she noticed that the baby was already leaving. And what if she went out, a few standing bids, next to the wheelchair that was supposed to take her to the delivery room, and little Truett was born. The video, of course, is the least curious.
It all happened the night before the day the baby was to be born. The mother, Kristin Dickerson, was already 42 weeks and the next day I had time to induce labor. It did not come to that day and at dawn it began with contractions. They got ready, her husband Troy put the camera on his head and left for the hospital.
She telling him no, how impossible, that she couldn't do it, that they didn't arrive. He said yes, in 15 minutes they were there. And yes, they arrived, but not in time to be attended by professionals, because as you see in the video the baby left before crossing the door.
It was 2:05 in the morning and then several professionals arrived to help them out. All while the camera kept recording the whole scene.
Apparently, Truett is the couple's third child. They have two more children, Turner, four years old and Tillman, two years old, whose births the father also recorded in his day. This could not be less, and as he is accustomed to using the GoPro while cycling and sailing, he had no trouble doing the same in an adventure that will remember a lifetime.
I have not recorded any of my children's births, although the two that I could see, those of the medium and the small, I keep them in my retina and my memory forever. Now, for a few days, we also have a GoPro, and as I go running, I bought the support to carry it on my head. What I don't know is if at a time like this I would think of using it. Who knows, maybe the father, Troy Dickerson, will set a precedent and from now on we will start watching tens and hundreds of videos of births recorded in this way.
