A Baby Story

Robin Andrews is having her first baby and plans a homebirth. Lots of friends and family attend. Robin labors in her house and about 5 minutes before the baby comes, she stands in her bathroom over the toilet with her husband holding her up. She reaches down and asks what she's touching. The midwife says it's the baby's head. ("What is that right there that I'm touching?" "That's the baby." "It is? Oh, oh it is...that's the baby?"). Robin can't believe it and is surprised that the baby's coming so fast. She stands in the bathroom doorway and says "ohmig-d" after learning that she must go from the bathroom to the bed with the baby's head coming out. With her husband's help, Robin somehow waddles over to the bed with her big pregnant belly and climbs on as the baby starts to crown. Robin is very vocal and makes a lot of noises as she pushes. Her husband is on the bed by her side. Robin looks very pregnant as she pushes and seems to get zero relief throughout her labor.
