My daughters mothers water broke about 7 in the morning. Went to the hospital, one push, she's out before 9am.Evo said:I was in for 42 hours with my first, hopefully yours is a bit faster.
Sorry. I've been enlightened by my wife.DaveC426913 said:Arrrgh!&$^@^#!&!
jobyts said:We named her Trisha. She was born at 2:50pm. Strong contractions started at 12:00pm, and the baby is out in three pushes. Less than 3 hours seems so quick compared to Evo's experience.
Baby and mom are doing great. I'll post some pictures once I grab a usb cable :(
Danger said:Congrats, dude! Looking forward to pix of the little squirming red thing.
Congrats, jobyts! And best wishes and many blessings to your wife, daughter and household.jobyts said:We named her Trisha. She was born at 2:50pm. Strong contractions started at 12:00pm, and the baby is out in three pushes. Less than 3 hours seems so quick compared to Evo's experience.

Trisha is a shortened form of Patricia and derives from the same Latin word as patrician, or noble. More than likely she will live up to this name and win a Nobel.jobyts said:We named her Trisha.
Mine was long due to complications, she never turned, and got caught up against my spine, won't bore everyone with the details. It's typical Evo.dlgoff said:My daughters mothers water broke about 7 in the morning. Went to the hospital, one push, she's out before 9am.
Speeding things up can be required to safeguard the health of the baby and/or the mother, and it certainly lessens the burden on the mother. A nine lb infant on its way to ten lbs in the ~38th week and in no particular hurry, might have to be told to get the lead out, as the female anatomy can only do so much.DaveC426913 said:Sorry.

"Speeding things up" has consequences that last days and weeks and can even last a lifetime of baby and mother.
What insanity posesses doctors to think that their tee off time is more important?

DaveC426913 said:So you're saying the rationale is "get it out before it gets too big"??
We're talking the hours leading up to labour here, not the week leading up to labour...
