So was Sam. It sucks. DON'T DO IT!
Oh heavens, was he? My eldest sister was, and it caused lots of health problems for her. Is he all okay?
Sam managed to get the cord around his neck twice (as in around it twice, not at two separate times). The doctors pinned an ECG thing onto his head while he was still in the womb and he flatlined about twenty seconds before he was born. He come out grey and limp, like something that not only wasn't going to live, but that never
had or
could live. Mrs. Grim... was so out of it with all the pain she had no idea what was going on, so every time she looked at me I had to put on a "yup, everything's fine" face even though I was petrified.
The docs put him on a magic machine which blows air into their face and massages him - they didn't zap him (to my knowledge), and it took him about three minutes (which felt like about three hours) before he took on some colour and started to cry.
He got an 8 in that 'life' test after five minutes, and a 10 a few minutes later, so he's fine.
Bloody hell, that sounds, er, grim. Apart from the bit where he turned out fine, obviously.
To add to the original topic, I'm getting married in October, and feel terribly disorganised about it.
