oh that almost happened, they prepped for it after the ultrasound showed her flipped into breach position fortunately she flipped back just in time, but it was altogether about three days of delivery thanks to that and the induction apparently all the doctors around here are getting superstitious about delivering there (roseville) because none of them seem to have a routine time of it, like it's been a shitshow every time

i remember the funniest part of the "so you're having a baby" class we took was this nurse asking everyone what they thought the worst case scenario of childbirth was and she got answers like "i chose no drugs but the pain is too intense and I've missed my window for an epidural" or "the child gets stuck in the birth canal and they have to use tongs" and she was like:quote:No, the worst case scenario is that the child is strangled to death with the umbilical cord and the mother bleeds out and dies. and the crowd quieted down for a while

they better fuckin sedate you if you're left after that happens christ I know someone that had the "said she could still feel after the epi" and was told "nah you're fine" by a junior and then had a c section and nope, she was right and she could feel it

it really puts into perspective how little you have to do with all of the baby making and delivery process as a man you just shoot some stuff in her, and after that all you can do is be there for her. it's really weird don't know how it could be different though

we went in for induction the day before florida started the first quarantine and no one was allowed in but me. They started the induction at midnight but by 8 am the doc came in, did a quick ultrasound, and just said WE GOTTA GET YOU IN FOR AN EMERGENCY C-SECTION and just completely railroaded us into the surgery on the pretext the baby was breach and umbilical was wrapped around her neck. so that sucked. oh if anyone doesn't know, look into pelvic physical therapy for the mother. my wife went from not being able to even feel her abs or engage them in any way to being stronger than before. Lots of pelvic floor and kegel work, electrostatic therapy (i think), and her therapist helped with things like the trauma of it all. She went from not being able to even look at the scar to being able to perform physical therapy massage on it regularly. It was a lot of intense work and it wasn't cheap (~ 2000 dollars for 8 sessions), but following the diet and exercise plan, doing the home therapy, and the 8 sessions helped her lose 50 pounds. because our kid came out over 10 lbs there's a lot of skin that still needs to reduce so we are looking at some cosmetic surgery for it but that has to wait till 6 months after weaning.

Hahahahaha I've had our worst poosplosion happen in the middle of a restaurant outing, thousands of KMs from home. Wife didn't even notice it happened until I told her (after fixing it), and one of our friends with kids looked at me like I was a god for the way I handled it. It was the first time I actually thought "ok maybe we can actually do this thing".

Tankakern posted:it really puts into perspective how little you have to do with all of the baby making and delivery process as a man I got to cut the umbilical cord, which was pretty cool. but yeah you basically stand there and maybe hold a leg or something to make it seem like you are helping. Edit: For poo explosion chat my daughter had a huge blow out while we were touring the UN. I have a vivid memory of carrying her around stark rear end naked while looking for mom because she had the change of clothes. Oh we also had the projectile poop onto the wall, the kitchen table, etc. but the funniest one was when our then dog peaked his head in during a changing session and was rewarded with a stream of poop right into his face.

I suggested it to my wife, adding that there would be little difference to assisting the birth of a sheep or cow, which I have successfully achieved many times. apparently this was not a helpful thing to say during labour

i was supposed to snip the cord but the birth went a bit sideways and we were moments away from it becoming an emergency c-section. also the anesthesiologist hosed up the epidural. it's ok though, it went all right by grace of the vacuum extractor and once it was in gear it went very fast. like a magician pulling a blue and white rabbit out of a blood-filled hat

Winter kids were both home births, which went unbelievable smoothly. We had midwives that were more than willing to send us to the hospital if something went wrong, but both kids were out in less than 12 hours total so score one for letting natural processes do their thing in comfortable, familiar settings. Apparently other countries are big on home births, and the numbers are actually really good for outcomes compared to in-hospital visits. Wife had to get into good shape for it, but being pregnant is a great incentive to do a bunch of squats in the 9 months prior.
