Birth Stories

Mother A, had gotten pregnant at the ripe-old age of 25. It was sort of expected but not completly. It was early spring when she began having her contractions. She complained to me during the questioning how she had gotten an ear infection just days before she was due. Mother A called her mother (Grandma A) and told her that she needed to go to the doctor. Grandma A came over to get Mother A and accompinied her to the doctors office. Then the Evil Doctors told Mother A that she needed top stay in the hospital so that she can be monitored. She complanied about all the weight she had gained and how her face had gotten fat. Her Husband, Father A was at work when Mother A had found out that she was almost ready to give birth. "Father A was so convinced that the baby was going to be a boy" she told me. Baby A had come early, about 2 weeks early. She told me she always knew it was a girl and never doubted for a moment. Mother A had gotten an Epidoral and could not get up or eat. "It was so boring!" she said. Mother A was hooked up to several monitors, the Evil Doctors would come in and check on her frequently. Father A had gotten to the hospital by now and sat with Mother A for 20 hours. The next day, Friday apx 9:00am Father A had gotten up to stretch his legs. "The moment he left, the doctors came rushing in telling me that Baby A heart rate was lowering" They rushed her in to the delivery room. "The room was cold and dark and had blaring lights to the 200th power and it was about 0 below and all i had on was a thin gown" Sucks I thought.
