At 26 weeks (6 months) her baby bag burst. She did not accepted in BMMG (city hospital) because the doctors refer her to another hospital so that her baby could live. So, she had no choice but to go in another hospital for the sake of her baby (at St. Lukes hospital).

Her son went out at 10:30 pm.
She wanted to saw her baby but the doctor told her to get rest in 24 hours. Because of her excitement she went immediately to the NICU to saw her baby.
