All i can say is: Hats off to this mom"
My first wife gave birth to about 17 pounds of baby -- twins.
@Donotbelieve My ex-wife also had all pain med free births. Our first son was born at home with a doctor in attendance and an ambulance waiting outside -- everything went great. Our twins were born at a birthing center, with a doctor and emergency equipment in the building. The room we had in the birthing center was like a nice hotel room. Everything went well with the twins' birth too.
@Donotbelieve Fraternal boys. Yes, she was impressive. I would have supported whichever method of delivery she preferred, since she was the one who had to do it. But I did love the fact that I had the privilege of experiencing the deliveries -- amazing!
As a Mid-wife, the biggest I ever helped deliver was a 12 pound, 11 ounce baby girl to a mother that was a skinny as rake handle and Dad who'd need to run around in the shower just so he'd get wet.
This should not be celebrated. This poor kid is unhealth before his life even starts.
