Chantelle Edmund had it all mapped out: she was planning an underwater birth with her husband’s support. However, as the saying goes, “life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.” Unbeknownst to her, a shocking surprise was in store.
“Life rarely unfolds according to plan, but sometimes the surprises are the most beautiful parts.”
Early Arrival Shakes Up Plans
Chantelle, a 26-year-old expectant mother, thought she had a few more weeks until her due date. But Baby Eva Rai had other ideas. She decided to make an entrance two weeks ahead of schedule. Left with no options after her water broke, Chantelle alerted her 8-year-old daughter, Keira Jade, who was upstairs watching a movie with her niece.
After ensuring her mother and new sister were safe, Keira then dialed for an ambulance. Displaying a sense of humor even under stressful circumstances, she amusingly told the operator, “My mother just made an alien on the floor!”
Chantelle later revealed that until recently, Keira believed babies came into the world through a “secret door” in a mother’s belly. But this real-life experience has not only educated her but also made her a star in her school community. Her brave actions have filled her with immense love for her new sister.
