My coworker gave birth to one of her kids in an ambulance on the side of the road. The ambulance just made it there. Or else it would have been just her and her husband in their car.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Not quite in the hall, but my mom gave birth to me 20 minutes after arriving at the hospital.
Her OB was quite complimentary abut her hips: "Mary, you were built to bear!"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
One of my high school teachers delivered their third child in their VW Bug by the side of the road. He crouched on the outside with his wife's legs over his shoulders. he said he was surprised not one car stopped to see what was going on.

My niece, my sister's second child, managed to wait until they got to the hospital, but was born before the epidural could get there.

My parents were going to a party when my mother went into labor with me. Since in those days the father's only job was to pace in the waiting room, my mother said, "Oh, it will be hours yet. Go on to the party." I was born before they could get my mother into a room. She has frequently told me, "I had you by natural childbirth. They didn't have time to give me anything."

Our wings are not tired.
With Bobby it seemed worse than the first time and I wanted something, anything, so they set an IV, but wouldn't give me drugs until my doctor arrived. The doctor arrived and said PUSH! Right in the ER. I was annoyed that I endured a needle for nothing. He was born super alert and hungry too.

My BFF's second kid fell out. Literally. She was walking, like they tell you to do during labor, and she paused and WHOOMP! Rosie entered the world. She doesn't remember pushing.
