Oh really, you know exactly what the babies condition was going to be upon birth as well as the mothers.
Yeah, we did. This was our 5th child, as well as twins that were both over 8 lbs each. There were no complications with the prior births. My wife didn't even need an epidural. Had sonograms and other tests to show baby condition.
But you are right. All babies died in childbirth before doctors and PAs were invented.
I’m 6’2. My knees hit the seat even when it is upright. When I can’t get the exit row, I tell the person in front of me that I have had both knees replaced (true) and ask them to please not to recline their seat.
