That's the way it used to be. AFAIK, life-style mags
here openly discuss one vs. the other to help women
decide which one they want. Or is that just a German
(or European) thing?

Apparently not, according to the rest of this thread. I still say that any
woman who deliberately chooses a c-section has to be out of her mind.

You and my husband then. I labour fast, and by the time I "thought" I might
be in labour enough to call the midwife, superman wouldn't have made it. It
was my favourite of all the births, early morning, in the bath, just the two
and then the three of us. Very quiet, the most magical ten minutes of my
life I think.
It is important to remember that sometimes all the midwife (lit; with-woman)
has to do is catch :-)

When my (ex-)wife was pregnant for the second time, she
came home from the playground with our daughter 4pm eight
days before The Date and said she wouldn't know why, but
she feels like it's going to start today. So I called
our midwife and told her, so she wouldn't open a bottle
of wine that night. Around 8pm I called her again since
my wife just started to have labours. It only took her
30mins to our door, but she was 10mins late. Even we had
not time to prepare anything, so my second child was born
on the living room's floor. Not very magical, not really
quite, but quite magically fast. :o>

So it was with my first child. With the second she had
to catch up. :-o

At least your midwife took you seriously.
I rang mine[1] when labor started so that they had fair warning[2].
Twenty minutes later, I rang again[3] to let them know I was now in
*serious* labor and needed to come in asap. Only to be told "Don't be
silly. You can't be!"
Guess which one of us was right?

But the magically fast is the thing. There is no other time in life, except
perhaps when doing the skeleton in the Winter Olympics (though I'm just
guessing here ), when you are totally in the grip of a major life event and
all you can do is hold on and steer as best you can. I was initially a bit
panicked by the speed and the knowledge that there was no time for plans or
more people, but eventually we just flowed, and the joy (and relief) so soon
after was really quite intense and once in a lifetime. There is more to
birth than biology. Sometimes, if only for a few seconds, it's like you're
plugged into that Total Perspective Vortex beloved of Zaphod, and with
similar results, you and what is happening are the centre of the Universe
:-)
Perhaps it *should* be reclassified as an extreme sport now I think about
it.

Yep. We had her for the first child already,
so she knew us very well.

I just wish parents would get over that whole "you and what has
happened are the centre of the Universe" thing sometime _before_ their
offspring's retirement.

Definitely an extreme, life-threatening sport, yeah. But what a rush!

sounds like my mom's experience when she had my little brother... He was her
third child, she went into the hospital and told them she was in labor.
They took a look at her, told her not to worry, it'd be hours, she should go
accross the street and have lunch, come back later. She said nope, no way
she's leaving, the baby was coming.. so the Doctor went off to have his
lunch.. about 10 minutes later one of the nurses had to go try and find him,
he barely made it back in time to catch my brother...

And one that just over half of the human race is potentially able to
experience, unlike all the existing extreme sports which seem to work only
for an elite few. Well it's fair, if nothing else.
