Id be excited lol Ive always wanted a home birth but wont bc you just never know what can happen. Id feel like I finally could do it without guilt =S Id call my mom and my husband would do jsut fine.

lol - my sister is a paramedic and ironically, is always working when it snows - so I`d call 911 and hubby would call my sis and between all of them, the ambulance would follow the plow. How`s that for a nice, tidy thing? We`d be in trouble, my labor stalled with our first and he went into distress, needing oxygen when he was born and I hemmoragged so badly I ended up passing out and needed blood. So I`d feel better being at a hospital in case either of us needed help. Yes, women have done it for years, and if we had to - any one of us would. But there was also a much higher mortality rate for mommies and babies before our curent technology!

I would be releived to have a valid excuse to have a home birth and my husband wouldn`t be able to drag me to the hospital.

That happend here where im from last winter. It was blizzarding out and she went into labor, it took an ambulance and snow plows like 4 hours to finally get to her house they got there right in time and she delivered in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. I would call 911 at the first thought of me in labor, she waited until her contractions were a couple min apart.

what can you do? Have a baby and try not to totally freak out. Do I have internet access? That would likely help a lot.

Pray for guidance, get in the tub and have one of my daughters on the phone with 911 or be on speaker phone as I am delivering...that would be a jacked up situation to be in!!!

Call 911 and pray someone can get me to the hospital ~ I`d never want a home delivery ~

I would be on the phone with 911 and having them coach me through it. I would be giving them every little detail as to whats going on and happening that way they could give me the accurate information. That way they could also accurately tell me what to do next. I`m sure hubby would be there so he`d be able to tell me what it`s looking like down below hahaha. He could be the one to deliver him/her too :-). Scary part is lets just hope theres nothing wrong with the baby and hope that you don`t run into any complications :-). My sons cord was around his neck and my oldest son was born early. his lungs weren`t matured or anything so he had to go straight onto oxygen. I guess it`s a good thing that I had both hospital deliveries :-D

lol....cry n call 911 n deliver my baby myself

Call 911 and pray =)

I live a block away from the hospital so it wouldn`t be an issue. Even if I didn`t though I wouldn`t worry though because labor generally takes HOURS (or days in my case) so there would easily be time for someone to arrive.

angie2008 (770.3 days ago)
Call 911 and have them help walk you through everything if you absolutely had to do it at home. I would hve dh go to neighbors to see if anyone had experience ect. People did it at home for many years bevore they had hospitals. And I would pray that there werent` any complications.

Love.Nora (770.3 days ago)
I would call an ambulance and a tow truck for it and a fire truck to pull the both of them LOLS...But for real umm I may be stuck having it at home in the tub haha

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
