Both of my kids were born really fast with few warning signs. The 1st one I didn’t feel much of anything until about a half hour before he was born, only way I knew I was in labor was that my water broke—only a few minutes of contractions before he was born. The 2nd one I woke up in the middle of the night having very close together painful contractions, went to the hospital immediately, baby was born about an hour after I woke up.

Well, it may have been her first, so she didn’t know. And for some, things can progress very quickly. One minute she’s having contractions, the next minute the baby is coming.

Did you even read this short article? It says she is 22 and married and has a son. The baby was born on the son's birthday.

The number of women -- of all ages, backgrounds, and SES -- that end up giving birth in cars, the side of the road, the hospital parking lot, is surprisingly high.

This seems mean spirited, and as someone who was twenty minutes away from giving birth on a ferry despite my best intentions, I don't know why it's worth making fun of.

Sigh. I remember when clever people hung out here.
