Question:

A friend of mine had decided to deliver at home with a mid-wife.  She mistakenly let her husband make the phone calls to the MW, and her DH kept telling the MW that things were going slowly.  Every time he would get off the phone, his wife would tell  him "It’s not going *THAT* slowly!"   Needless to say, the midwife took her time getting there, since DH related that she wasn’t imediately needed.  Expentant Mama took a shower thinking it would be relaxing.  Dh was there to help.  SURPRISE!  Um, honey, I think it’s time! Baby was born with Mom standing up in the shower, and Dad couldn’t think of anything he could do to help, so he opened the bathroom window, stuck his head out and screamed for the Mid-wife.  "HELP!   SOMEONE HELP!" Leela (the Mom in the story) was fine, baby was fine … Dad was thuroughly embarrassed at the way he acted.

A lady I know told me when she had her daughter, she went into labor at home, and she told her hubby who went and got all the bags and things needed for the hospital and put them in the car. He then drove off, leaving her standing in the driveway. She said he stopped a little down the road and yelled "are you coming?" Her neighbor was outside, and drove her to the hospital behind her husband. This is the worst case of freaking out that I’ve heard of. Nothing happened when I went into labor, except I saw my husband move super-quick. He was zipping around the apartment getting all the bags to put in the car, and get my daughter up out of bed. It was pretty funny, him running around like that. Poor thing. This was his first child(he adopted my firstborn) and it showed! Marie www.freeyellow.com/members6/mommydowis/index.htm

hi everyone, i’m not a parent, but i have a little brother (18 years between us) whome i love dearly.  it’s coming around his birthday, so my thoughts turned to the day he was born.   i was my mother’s birthing partner, and it was indeed a very scary and miraculous event.  took 23 hours!  i remember holding him in my arms, so small that he fit on my forearm, with his head cradled in my hand.   and now, he’s in kindergarten!  it just seems so fast.  he started last month, and cried the first two days.  :( my mother was afraid that i’d never want to have a kid after seeing how hard it was for her, but seeing just how bad it could be makes me feel better.  knowledge is better than blind fear. anyway, the reason i was the birthing partner was because my father panicked at the last minute, and drove off!  the baby was early, and my father (old-fashioned and from a different era ) thought we were just going in for a routine checkup, when *bam!* the docs told us we had to deliver.  it’s a rather funny story. so i was wondering, any more fathers that panicked when the time came?   any funny stories?   also, anyone have any recommendations about a bike?  my little brother has been getting that look in his eyes when he sees older kids whizzing by, but i’m terrified his little body will break, even with all sorts of protective gear and cushioning.  over-protective, i guess.  :p eingy * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet’s Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet – Free!
