An inexplicable fulfillment: Dr. Ava Benedict’s involvement in birthing

“Hello, Dr. Ava Benedict! Patient Mrs. Dawson has just been admitted, she’s 6cm already.” Receiving calls like this in the wee hours of the morning or night gives me a feeling of excitement and nervousness. Exactly one of the reasons why I love being a doctor is the fact that I do not only save lives but also get to witness actual birth-giving.

As a pediatrician, I am committed to giving quality health care to all my patients. Whenever parents approach me for consultation, I see to it that what I offer will help their child recover from a disease or improve their child’s health.


Aside from the usual pediatric consultations, one of the things that I, Dr. Ava Benedict, look forward to is being involved in the birthing procedure.

Giving birth is considered a milestone in the lives of women. With mothers bearing their child for about nine months, I, as a doctor, can only do my best to assist in making the whole process a success. As a pediatrician, my work starts when the child is out. I make sure that the child is handled very well. I also check the heart beat of the child to ensure that it is continuous -- especially that the newborn is now cut off from the mother’s support. Checking the condition of the newborn is a critical task, but I am happy to be of service when it comes to this. For me, birthing is a miraculous event, and I’m honored to be a part of it.
