21 Of The Most Insane Things That Have Happened During Childbirth

My parents knew early on that my brothers feet were turned in. The doctor that delivered him didn’t get the memo and freaked out when he saw my brother’s deformed feet.

One night a young girl comes in with her dad. He thinks it’s her appendix, but it quickly becomes clear she is close to delivering a baby. She managed to keep it secret for 9 months. The dad had to ring his wife to break the news they are becoming grandparents.

You know they say women often poop during childbirth? Yeah, 99.999% of them don’t take it to my level: I shat so hard I hit the opposite wall. (Granted, smallish room so it was about 6 feet away or so but still) Pooping’s one thing, hardcore projectile shits is an entirely separate thing. (Supposedly I was the first in my OB’s 35 years of doctoring)

I was a c-section (yay tumor baby). Baby sister was also a c-section. But the middle sister was a normal birth. Our mom was a singer, and so when they told her to do a few ‘practice pushes’, she took a deep breath and went from no baby to fully birthed baby so quickly that the nurse (because the doctor wasn’t even in the room yet) almost dropped her. (Note, this was NOT a fast labor. I think it was hour 50 at this point)
