ouch

I suppose it was lucky she had a C-section....
I try to imagine the size of the bump etc....pg must have been quite painful...

OMG Now I´ve got something else to give me nightmares. Am having enough weird dreams already!

I read the thread title and involuntarily crossed my legs!.

My grandmother delivered my Mother at home, with no pain relief, and no midwife, just the help of the lady from next door!

My mother was 12 pound at birth!

No wonder she was the last of her brothers and sisters!

Huuuge! click on the picture to see the full image, she's such a whopper! Bet she's in 6-9 month old clothes straight away!

That's more than three times what I weighed at birth.

I was going to say I couldn't get my head round the idea, but that's not the organ wincing at the very thought.
