anon, She has a MD now right?
check in with the MD with your concerns. Thousands of women give birth at home. I delivered my own son many years ago. Keep her eating healthy, rapberry tea helps when you get close i think. Most of all pray, pray like you've never prayed before. Good luck all will come out well.
PS umbilical cord is/was very tough to cut. YMMV
im the daddy
At this point you have a few months to plan it out. We had a book or to and we made our own pads to soak up fluids. My wifes whole family all give birth very quickly. we lived in a very rural area, Hosp was 30 miles away, would not see usfor some reason (dont remember why??) So we planned for it, knowing it would a fast birth. I prayed a LOT. nervous yes, scared yes, God was with the two of us that night, in a little house in the middle of nowhere in the pacific northwest. God bless you
I tell you what, after doing that I aint afraid of taking on any job! Twas a very long time ago, son is now near 50
