[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a precipitous birth at home with nobody but my husband and a 911 operator for help. Speed definitely played a factor. My contractions went from 1 to 1000 in about 2 minutes. I didn’t even push - baby just came.

Baby’s size also mattered in my case. Based on my previous births, I learned that I make big babies and my body is not made to deliver them vaginally. This baby was early and therefore smaller. She shot out of me. EMTs arrived maybe 10 minutes after she did. She was not well and spent a long time in the NICU. (She’s now a thriving, healthy 8-year-old. All is well!)[/quote]
This sounds so traumatic. Glad
She’s ok now. Hope you are too. [/quote]

Thank you!  It was traumatic, but we are all doing ok now - physically and emotionally. I felt some PTSD around her birthday the first couple of years, but that went away as she got older and her birthdays now are just joyful and fun. She does love hearing her birth story though![/quote]
