Drummed home the reality - Tradução em português

As I spoke to the operator, she asked me one question that drummed home the reality: "Can you feel any part of the baby?" I reached down, and to my utter surprise I could feel the head crowning. For the first time it dawned on me: I was going to have to give birth, on my own, in the kitchen, in a matter of seconds. Although my mother was there, she was panicking so much and was so preoccupied with the children that I knew she wouldn't be any help.
