My wife was induced for both of our kids. First one was scheduled. We went in at 8 am and our son was born at about 4 pm. The second was a surprise induction and they started the drip at about 5pm and our daughter was born at about 1 am. Between the two deliveries my wife pushed a total of about 4 times. Ymmv.

I have some chicken that expired yesterday. Smelled it before cooking it and it seemed fine. Now that I'm cooking it, it smells a bit questionable. See you on the other side, friends.

Pretty close to our experience, as well.

All c-sections. Only way to fly.

My wife would recommend the fast and easy (as such things go) vaginal birth. Much quicker recovery and no scar. Of course, you can't exactly order that from a menu.

I wasn't grossed out at all during either of my kids births, honestly I don't remember the gory details at all, just seeing my kids for the first time. HOWEVER, there was this Lamaze video they showed us where there this baby comes out head first and them the arms come out, and it was like some snapped bailing wire off a bundle of springs. I mean there is stuff flying all over the place, it's chilling.

Just be glad it's not you!

Haha, yeah, watching a doctor massage your wife's stomach to help her push that out is a disturbing experience. Luckily for me, both times I was preoccupied with our child away from direct line of sight.

Grote managed to post this in the thread about clicking the Amazon link on the main board somehow, but here goes:

For us too, it turned out suddenly. Was scared shitless, saw the blood and almost passed out. But he's here and all are well

DeSean has been a tough sell though
