My BF had her baby...

[spaghetticat]

Wow that's nuts! Congrats to her!

[mikehoncho]

WOW! This is insane! What an amazing birth story.

[bebeetmoi]

Aww congrats to her!

[laurack]

wow congrats to her! I might still have demanded to go to the hospital and get my 2 days of hospital stay out of the insurance company ha!

Maybe I'm in the minority but I loved being in the hospital for the two days after birth and would have preferred to stay longer!

Agree! Congrats to her!

Laurack you are not alone! I would have stayed as long as they let me. The whole first two weeks of baby blues I spent most of the time crying and begging DH to take me and M back to the hospital.

Wowza! Congrats to her!

Congratulations to her! I'm so glad everything went smoothly with no problems. So amazing!

I loved being in the hospital after Edie (rough long painful delivery), but was ready to get off the delivery table and go right home with Adeline (easy peasy contraction free half push delivery).

This story gave me a flashback of my half-push. I just started to prepare to push her out and then she was just....out. It felt so good.

NO! This sort of story gives me (probably) false hope. The idea of just having baby without tons of pain and ahem 3.5 hours of pushing. I reallly hope my second one is easier than my first!

I did get an epidural at 8cm right before my OB broke my water. But up until then, no painful contractions. But I was prepared for hours of pushing, so I wanted the epi. If I wouldl've known it was one push....

I also did feel transition. But it wasn't terrible like it was the first time. I just kind of felt like I did when I was severely constipated when I was pregnant. Like there was a huge turd there that I couldn't get out. So, then I pushed....HELLO ADELINE!

[laurack]

I found transition to be really, really horrible, but short. Pushing was slightly less horrible but very long. The period up to transition was painful but I could deal.

Whoa, crazy!!

I can't imagine having a baby in a bathtub or a car or something. It just blows my mind!

[musiclover]

haha, wow! I always love to hear these stories. I'm glad it worked out so well for her. I bet the tub birth was kinda nice ;D

You know what's kinda gross?, I truly believe that Nolan would have been born into the toilet if we had not gotten into the car so quickly. I did not realize it until after he was born and I started to piece the whole thing together, but right before we left the house I was in such pain and thought that I had to poop. I ran into the bathroom because I felt like I had to poop really badly, but when I think back now, I totally had my first push while I was on the toilet That was the same feeling I had when my body pushed him out in the car. Soooo glad I did not have a toilet birth baby :-| becasue it does not sound as nice as car birth baby, lol.

My cousin was born in the toilet.

I can see how it could easily happen, my first push felt like I had to drop a large turd :-| If we go for #3, i'll camp out near the hospital.

That's nuts! Great that it was fast and easy though!
