Nubia Possible NDE

Experience Description

Four years ago, in my eighth month of pregnancy, my doctor recommended inducing labor because my baby had reached a weight of ten pounds and if we waited three more weeks the weight could reach eleven pounds or more. I went to the hospital on Saturday, December 9, 2006, in order to induce labor. I felt no pain throughout the rest of the day but my cervix did not dilate so they had to double the amount of medication. On Sunday, December 10th at noon the doctor decided to break my water, this happened without problems. I waited for several hours and dilation of the cervix started between 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm. At 10:00 pm I was in so much pain that they had to give me an epidural. This did not help much; my pain was intense because I had not dilated sufficiently.

At approximately 12:30 am on December 11th my pain was so great that I started screaming and that is when they administered a tranquilizer. I am not sure how long in took, but my pain slowly subsided and when I fell asleep, I saw my body lying on the hospital bed. I also saw myself standing by my side. I felt as if I were sinking into a deep well and when I was about to reach the bottom it was no longer a well but a very long and dark tunnel. I felt an inexplicable calm. I felt no pain but I was scared in that darkness. There was no one around, only me. Suddenly I saw a very brilliant white dot, like a light. I ran to reach it and it started to get larger and more brilliant. When I reached the entrance, everything became illuminated and glowing and I was able to leave there. It was at the same moment that my child was born and I awoke and saw my baby between my legs. My baby was born and my other self, that was standing next to me, had left.
