So instead of a midwife she called a plumber? How did they get the baby out the u-bend?
Having seen a venteuse machine in action I have to report that it is stunningly agricultural in operation and would probably do a great job of clearing a drain.
Don't think they got as far as the u-bend. They were a bit big - both over
8lb.When the German intern told my wife she (vill have an epidural, ya) - she almost hit the roof. Cultural semantics in the labour ward at 0330 after 16 hrs was not our strong point!
Still - 2 healthy children later - we have forgiven him.
I bet. I took one look at the needle and wished I hadn't. It was the biggest needle I've ever seen. Because Jessica was breech I had to let the midwife tell me when I was having a contraction - really wierd when you can't feel a thing - a room full of students watching. Most babies that are breech arrive bum first not feet. I was really sick afterwards when it was wearing off. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Bet she looked flushed.
If not drained and bloo in the face...
No, just drained.
And round the bend. The last baby was no 6.
Sounds more like a Number 2 to me...
All boys, or was there a cistern?
only one cistern
and both were floaters.
My four are my lot.........apparently, she is ending me for the (sob sob), and if I don't go, I have been threatened with a rather large pair of tin snips ;-(

Toilet? Duck!
Nope - fully agree. You won't catch me having any kids....
Mine offered me a pair of bricks as an alternative. You pays yer money and takes yer choice.
I'll never forget the face of the surgeon looking down at me and I thought "He just looks like Benny Hill"........
I hope the tin snips are sharp! 3 was enough and four is plenty although I had mine a bit closer together - we have three girls, the eldest is was 10 in June, next one 9 two weeks ago, last but one 8 in February and last of all the only boy who was 6 in September. Definately no more for me either, I made sure of that courtesy of BUPA as the waiting list was too long on the NHS.
