Thanks mate @choogirl!
Yeah, I was playing Didge and guitar whilst catching bubs! Hehehehe.
But yeah, it’s interesting to discover what we’re capable of in extreme circumstances. I’m usually able to think quickly in the moment during stressful events, which is guess is why I figured out how to unwrap the umbilical cord from my second daughter’s neck whilst her face was going blue. In the last 2 births, I had to show the midwives how to pull a baby from out of the water as they thought babies should come out face first, until I explained that the suction caused by the water and gravity helps draw the amiotic fluid from the lungs easier when pulling the baby out bum first, face last. Obviously not too slowly though as the cold air triggers the baby’s breathing reflex.
