Wife’s water broke in the shower. She got dressed and went to work.

Maybe 10 that morning she called me and told me, said contractions were getting strong as well. Asked me to head home, grab her bag, and head to the hospital.

Hours and hours of labor, hours and hours of pushing, doc called an end to it. C section.



Second child was the opposite. Labored at home for a bit, went in, and before they had a bed ready, momma was hanging onto the wall pushing a baby out. Kid got hung up in the canal with the chord around his neck. Different doc came rushing in, 6 foot Swedish woman, she got real serious barking at nurses and me. Before I could understand WTF, she delivered my second son.


Giving birth is quite the rodeo apparently. Lol.
