According to CDC The data, in total, 3,596,017 births took place in the United States in 2023, down 2% compared to 2022. The general fertility rate has also decreased 3%, falling at 54.5 births for 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 in 2023.
Kraft has been Angelica’s doctor for five years, but Epic is the first he delivered more than a week ago.
She said Nowsweek: “The last office visit I had with him, I insisted that I did not want him to miss this one!
“We have perfectly timed it with a very light induction since I was already very dilated, and my son was born eight hours later.”
Before filming the now viral clip – which won nearly 557,000 likes – Angelica said that a nurse had mentioned how they often saw Dr. Kraft going to her office to see patients.
Then, like a clock, they looked out by a window on the third floor and saw it do exactly that.
“We found him so attentive that he made this effort, and funny at the same time,” she said.
“I am generally the one with a camera in hand, but this time, my wise husband was the one who recorded, and his comment made the video so perfectly healthy.”
Indeed, Sage can be heard laughing, saying “it is ready” and compliment the doctor’s rhythm.
Kraft said Nowsweek: “While she was in work, I saw patients in my office and watched her progress very closely. The nurse had contacted me and informed me that childbirth seemed imminent.
“Once I had the word, I rushed to my office at the bottom of four stairs and I took out the door to the hospital. I had to get there as quickly as possible to ensure its safety and safety of your baby, and the race was my only option.”
Angelica asked for a Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), and Kraft was favorable to his decision. According to AMerican pregnancy association, Most studies show that 60 to 80% – or approximately 3 to 4 in 5 women – who have had a previous caesura can have a successful vaginal birth. However, there are risks, which is why Kraft wanted to miss anything.
