RE: THE LONG, STRANGE JOURNEY HOME - Part 4 of 6 - CHILDBIRTH

bro... bro... bro...

her giant belly hang

huh uh, no good. No matter how pregnant wifey is, she NEVER has a giant belly and it NEVER hangs. ;)

she'd be a tank!

Dude! We really have to talk!

Our older son and his wife have done home births for the first three. They just announced number four on the way, so we expect them to do it again.

We're not going to get an article about the reproductive habits of humans, are we? I mean, the other ones I asked about really are interesting. And, while human reproduction is interesting, maybe it's been covered enough, yeah? Just sayin'.

We did naturalish births too, at the hospital. With the first one the Dr raised the placenta, which I guess is a no-no because it causes too many red blood cells to go into the child. His blood was too thick, so he had to get a transplant. We freaked. It was during the Aids scare too, so as two scared kids ourselves, we couldn't make a decision. They just did it without our permission. It was probably a good call on their part, because he wasn't waking up at all.

Number two gave us a couple of false announcements too. Then we were in the hospital, pretty sure it would happen this time, but the Dr got impatient and nicked the water bag like you were saying, to throw her into hard labor. Kinda pissed me off. But four hours later there and suddenly we could see another little person in the room.

Thanks for sharing!

Sort:  

I know where the limits are, and "giant belly" and "tank" are both permissible for @papa-pepper.

I wouldn't have block-chained those comments otherwise.

Yeah, the doctor pulled the old, "maybe if I rip this open something will happen" trick on you, huh?

Common practice, man.

Thanks for sharing the stories, childbirth can be a terrifying time with a lot of variables.
