Thanks Megan >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 26/12/2002 5:18:33 pm >>> Hello all Merry Christmas. I was lucky enough to be at the birth of a Christmas Day baby. The day started out with the kids getting up at 5:30 am, presents being opened. Then we stopped to have a yummy breakfast. The phone rings, everyone groans, it's a dad whose baby was due 2nd January, 2nd baby. 1st had been late IOL long posterior labour, epidural, episiotomy, heamatoma evacuated under GA 5hrs later etc. etc. so she wasn't keen on going through it again. Anyway I arrived at their house at 0745, all was well, she looked like she was well established, complaining of pressure in the bowel, then came the urge to push. So we all bundled into the car slowly for the ride to hospital, getting there at 0830, beautiful baby boy 3510 born at 0910. By the time I finished paperwork I was home at 11 am to get ready for lunch. Then I spent the rest of the day with family and friends. It was most enjoyable. The new family went home from hospital at 1600. I'v visited today and they're really happy with how they went. I've been really lucky this year, with 17 births, and all have come when I've been available. I read something once about mums going into labour when they know the midwife will be available. Has anyone ever had more than one mum labouring at a time? Anyway thought I'd share a central Australia story with you all.
