The ObGyn caught our daughter popping out like a quarterback catching the snap from the center.
It was really something to behold.
And, no, this wasn't planned.
My second child (all 4 born at home) came an hour before the midwife could get to us. My wife gave birth at the edge of the bed such that our daughter popped out beyond the edge of the bed. I managed to catch/cradle her head, but wasn’t prepared for the sheer slipperiness of a newborn. Her little legs and bottom hit the carpet with a bit of a slap - and she opened her mouth and started crying as a result. Which couldn’t have worked out better. :-)
My girlfriend gave birth standing up.
She was bearing down so hard, she bent the rail on the hospital bed.
Sick amounts of adrenaline can pump through you during labor.
Hoping you are your family are doing great.
