Smok - I've been through this three times. It can be a harrowing experience to say the least. Here are the steps that should be taken in their proper order.
1. Time the contractions. This is an important step because it provides some clue as to how close to delivery the woman is.
2. Make her as comfortable as possible.
3. Equipment preparation is the next step. This should be done carefully but quickly. An essential piece of equipment is a small brown paper sack. If winter time, the equipment should be warmed.
4. Load her into the equipment and drive like crazy to the nearest hospital.
5. While waiting, breath into the paper sack if you feel dizzy.
6. Waiting out the birth can be an agonizing, yes, even helpless, feeling. No one can understand the level of apprehension unless you've gone through it yourself. As I said, I've done this three times and it can be unnerving.
7. If the hospital lounge has a T.V. then check for a good sports program. There is no reason not to stay informed on scores or highlights.
8. Remember, most hospitals have a cafeteria. If they allow it, you should get your meal to go. You don't want to miss those sports shows.

Any other questions, just ask.
Good grief,it isnt THAT difficult,you guys are wimps.
Wimps! My dear lady I'll have you know I hurt my finger changing channels when my second child was born and I sucked it up like a man!
whooo hoooo,how many doctors did it take to kill the pain there Rick????
Uh......two....I think.....I sort of passed out.
Yea well you should have been in HER position....
What? Laying down? Yea. That probably would have kept me from passing out. Thanks, I'll have to remember that.
Yea well I guess you got that part down anyway if you passed out
Smok,if you are really worried about that aspect,the red cross can train you how to deliver babies,barring any unforseen complications where a doctor is actually needed.
I applaud Rick's courage he really had to persevere that time
uh-huh rightttttttt!
Was that sarcasm darling? I mean..the man suffered :p
suffered,LOL Somehow I dont think so
Just think of it as fishing
1 you gotta catch it
2 take the line off it (the umbilical cord)
3 clean it
4 enjoy the fruits of your labor (ha ha a funny:eek:)
Wha..? What happened? Oh, yea. I passed out after umbilical cord. (thump!)
You will never look at fishing the same way again will ya Rick???Quote:

you guys are too affraid of one of the most natural things we do.....
Exactly! You....YOU do. Not me.
Good grief,I dont know about you guys....:confused:

Been through it three times,I think I have accepted it,LMAO!
You see? and neither Rick nor I were...(wait a minute..Rick, you weren't there right?) Anyway...you got my point now.
See, the Great Spirit said, "Ube the pitcher and she be the catcher." He was a great baseball fan even in those days. "There will come a day in which you will have pitched and she will have caught but she must return the ball."
Now, I should point out that the seventh inning stretch was also created by the "Great Spirit" for the man to secure refreshments and otherwise, well, stretch, while the ball is being returned. Then he can come back and admire what a wonderful ball he now has. It works for me.
I could explain it all to you from my point of veiw,but I dont think you guys could handle it,its NOT as bad as most women let on,LOL I had all three of mine in less than 12 hours total,piece of cake
That's an average of like 4 hours per ball...I mean kid. Someone get me a stop watch.
2 hours 36 minutes for the first
1 hour 28 minutes for the second
and 7 hours 20 minutes for the third he was a little slow,still piece of cake
LMAO, someone get you a "stop typing" Great Spirit's a baseball fan huh? That why he named his kid Haysoos?Quote:

Life has no meaning. It is the difference between existing and being. (slap. slap). I think I'm moving in the those little pygmies down there in New Guinea.
I'm thinking you ARE one of those little pygmies from New Guiena
ahem...as opposed to the BIG pygmies down in New Guinea? or did the Big pygmies all elect to stay in Old Guinea?
