RE: The Bloody Octopus: reloaded
It turned its black soulless eyes on me and screamed.
The sweetest moment.
My daughter required "suction" which meant putting a toilet plunger on her head and bending the stick until she was able to claw herself the rest of the way out. I barely remember cutting the umbilical chord because the room was full of 4 doctors and about 73 nurses trying to work on my wife. It was a bloody horrible time and I saw much too much.
We only have one child, will only ever have one child. We look after this one pretty well though.
That suction sounds a lot like the venteuse thing. It was a horrific sight. Sounds quite similar. Afterwards we vowed never again but astonishingly, at least to me, the doula made a huge difference. We would have been quite happy with one though. I do remember getting annoyed by people asking why we only had one as if you had to become a baby machine once you had popped the seal. Silly people!
