My mother reported something similar. When she gave birth to my older brother Jim, it was a dreadful, fearfully long, painful hard, exhausting labor, on and off (more on than off) for 72 hours. After the birth, my atheist uncle Tom, visiting in the hospital, said she ought to get her tubes tied. She said, "No, I know I'll want another baby. I want a little girl."
Fast forward 2 1/2 years, she's in her first contractions with me. Father rushes her in the car to the hospital, up the steps (the hospital had steps then, in 1951), my mother slumps to the floor and --- in her words, I "slipped out like a peeled grape."
:o)
I gotta smile even now.
LOL You paint a wonderful picture of your birth. I love it..I was told not to have any more children after my second due to blood dyscrasis...He had ABO factor and was a sad looking baby and they didn't know if he would need a complete transfusion or not for the first 4 days...I am O type and my hubby was B. (this has nothing to do with the Rh factor). The first birth my body sent out antibodies against the B factor blood that does cross the placenta barrier. The second child, my body was already primed to attack his blood via the same way, passing through the placental barrier. At this point and his condition I was told a third baby would not survive...Then one day I met Jesus and tossed the pills...had 3 more babies but the 6th one was born with multiple birth defects, paralysis, spina bifita and had an apgar of 1 at birth. It was also a placenta previa and there was a lot of hemorrhaging by me...Had an emergency C=section.. She lived 10 hours but was baptized by the nun that came to visit me. I took that as a warning finally I was done having children and was 27 at the time.I made the nurses bring her to me in my room, she was not going to die without my seeing her....She was 6 months gestation when I had her, kept saying to myself, make it to 7 months and she has a chance....there was not the technology today has. But I knew there was something wrong by the 3rd month when I was hospitalized with leaking of amniotic fluid. Kept the preg. for another 3 months but it was not to be......GG
