My first pregnancy was called a molar pregnancy, which was a form of miscarriage that had never heard of. It basically meant that I was at risk of developing cancer from my pregnancy. I was not allowed to get pregnant again for a year, and I had to have monthly testing to make sure that my hormone levels had not risen, because that would be a sign that I had the cancer. When I was finally cleared, I was pregnant again about four months later. I was due July 1st 2003, and everything was fine until about late May. My plug came out on a Monday morning, and I began to worry. The doctors told me not to worry, that everything was fine, and then it was normal for the plug to come out early. on Tuesday, I started having small contractions, which the doctors told me was just braxton-hicks, and I shouldn't worry. by Thursday, I set my husband down and told him to get ready, because I was pretty sure this baby was coming. The next morning, Friday morning, very early, I rolled over in bed and squished in the puddle. My water had broken, and I raced to the bathroom. I got on the phone with my hospital and my doctor, and they kept asking me if I knew for sure that my water has broken. I told them, I wasn't urinating, but there was a lot of water coming out of me, so I was pretty freaking sure. I was admitted to the hospital at 3 am. At 6 a.m. the doctor came in to check on me, said "uh oh," and disappeared again. She came back with a portable ultrasound, and said the words I will never forget, "I hate when I'm right." my son, who was six and a half weeks early, was also breech. They rushed me to the OR for an emergency C-section. He was born just after 7 am.

I had two c-sections... I've never gotten to push. I feel jilted but I'm just glad they're healthy.

My wife had an epidural with all 4 of children, which caused her to be cold from the waist down. Her room was a birthing room that had a blanket warmer, so neat. My main job was holding her left leg, doing whatever the doctor told me, and not freaking out.
