So, my weekend was interesting...
« on: July 21, 2011, 09:43:35 AM »
Saturday, my wife, son and I were out and about running errands, going to our local town fair and catching a baseball game. A busy, but fun day for all. Throughout it all my wife was having contractions (she was pregnant, our due date had been three days earlier), but they were manageable and we didn't think she was too far along in labor yet. We got home from the game, put my son down to bed and decided to watch some TV and relax to see if labor picked up. I called our midwife to let her know that things were progressing and we'd likely need her to come sometime overnight (we were planning on having a homebirth).

Immediately after I hang up the phone with the midwife, my wife starts complaining of terrible contractions with lots of pressure and pain. I call the midwife right back and tell her on second thought to come right away. She lives 45 minutes away from our house. Still blissfully in denial of how far along labor was we try to move my wife upstairs to the bathtub to relax while waiting for the midwife. We make it 6 feet to the bottom of the stairs where my wife can no longer help but push. She feels a head (and is freaking out). I call the midwife again... she's heading out the door. I grab a blanket and the head is out. One more push and we have another son... on the rug at the base of our stairs.

After making sure the baby was breathing well, I run and grab a couple of towels, wrap him up, look at my wife, tell her how amazing she is, and ask "what the hell just happened?" We made our way upstairs to the bed and have some family time before the midwife arrives (she got pulled over by a cop for speeding on the way, but he let her go). Meanwhile my older son is blissfully sleeping in the next room completely unaware of what is going on. The midwife arrives, does her thing, and declares everyone in fabulous shape. I layed awake for a couple hours going through everything in my mind freaking out about everything I didn't have time to freak out about during the actual birth, thanking God that nothing went wrong.

Wow! That kid sounds like he was ready to face the world!

Our baby was born about 3 months ago in the hospital. Everything went really well: short labor, no complications... but still, a very stressful event. I can't imagine having a planned home-birth, let alone an unplanned one without a midwife or any sort of medical professional there.

Congratulations!

That she is. She's willing to go without any drugs of any kind just to eliminate the slight risk to the baby that they present which is pretty awesome. She's a great mom.

The first one was much more nerve racking since it was my first and I didn't know what to expect. But the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of kids would come out perfectly fine without any intervention whatsoever. The woman's body pretty much knows what to do. And home is much more relaxing than a hospital which makes labor easier and less painful.

That is true. But we did have a pleasant experience at our hospital, and I know my wife appreciated her midwife and nursing staff (and medication :p) very much. She also had a hard time with breastfeeding, and was thankful for the constant nursing advice post-birth.

Major congrats to lordxizor and family!!  But as I'm sure he'll attest to, it's the mom's who are the BAMFs during childbirth.  Us dads just kind of stand there trying not to piss ourselves.
