my first born was interesting his mother (my ex) started screaming at me in the back yard that her water broke, happened during a close lighting strike. Got in the truck and headed to the big hospital she was supposed to deliver in, she said she couldn't make it, I diverted to the little hospital in our town, and thank God I did, from the time her water broke to him being born was 22 min. there was no Dr. and the nurse didn't even have gloves on yet.
