(He usually only drinks one - I can't imagine that would have laid him out so much that he would have had a problem getting to the hospital).<br /><br />I remember my OB telling me about the birth experience that the little one is really the one in charge for the whole day - he or she will take care of your birth plan for you.

All the training in the world can't control what happens, but it's all in how you handle it afterwards anyways.

One OLD WOMAN (read that wrinkles, so like a long time ago) told me to remember to remind my doctor that I didn't want to be handcuffed to the bed because "they do that sometimes if you can't handle the labor pains." Oh really? I freaked out until I read that they don't do that anymore. Love it.
