Could/would you deliver your sibling?

Quote from Zoe Moon : Yeah all TR can do is turn a remote into coke.

Quote : Not sure he's scared of me.

I would be! You could make a lot of trouble for him if you wanted to.

Quote from Maleficent : In?! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_cephalic_version

Yep, IN.

Quote from wikipedia : External cephalic version is a process by which a breech baby [wikipedia.org] can sometimes be turned from buttocks or foot first to head first. It is usually performed after about 37 weeks.[1] [wikipedia.org] It is often reserved for late pregnancy because breech presentation greatly decreases with every week. It can be contrasted with "internal cephalic version", which involves the hand inserted through the cervix.

I doubt I'd be able to do so, but I'd give it my best shot. I'd also find a way to call somebody. I don't have a ham radio license for nothing!

During DW's last c-section, they delivered the wee man and put him in the tray-thing-y. I was asked if i wanted to go see him so I did, and then I turned around to see DW's organs all hanging out and completely visible. I just stood there for a minute checking off organs in my head as I saw them. Then I went back to her side and talked her through the rest of it. It was an interesting experience.

used to have to deliver my sister to swim practice every damn day after i got my license, & it was a crappy oldsmobile, not a bmw x5

Quote from The Raddish : Yep, IN.

Yeah, click on the [2]. It's an article from 1959.

I'm not sure I could do it, but I guess I could give it a shot.

Lucky for me, my mom won't be having anymore kids!

I would have no idea what I was doing...I'd jack it up somehow...

And what would I be doing with my mom that I would be the only one within miles? Where the hell did my Dad run off to?

I couldn't handle that.

Quote from Curtieson : I couldn't handle that.

Sorry to hear that, ma'am.

I'd need a time machine.

Which organs did you see?

Assuming the "In" version really is a possibility, and that I have been unable to call anyone for help, how exactly am I to know that this is a breech and not just the little bastard taking its own sweet time to arrive into the world?

What's the point of assuming any of that?


No one would realistically ever be in this asinine scenario anyway.


1. If a woman is THAT pregnant, no one with an ounce of sanity would take her anywhere that she'd be away from where she'd be able to get help because everyone would be waiting for her to go into labor.

2. Given her age, it would be a high risk pregnancy, and if she did really make it to week 41, I'd be willing to bet they would induce within week 41 or have an appointment to do so soon after, or put her on bed rest or at least admit her to the hospital to keep an eye on her.

3. I highly doubt a woman that far along in her pregnancy would want to go anywhere where she'd end up in the middle of nowhere with one of her children without the possibility of any help should she begin labor.

Neat!
