Bobbye is now the mother of four children, at least two were home with her this particular Friday and when her water broke she knew she had no time. Quickly calling her mother, who immediately called 9-1-1 to get some help. Only the paramedics …read more

I always love hearing the “happy ending” type of stories and I’m sure most of you do too, so here is one. Karen Morrisroe-Clutton, a new mother had been in a coma for 5 weeks when nothing seemed to be working.
She even states that she considered just giving up, that she wanted to die. This isn’t much of a surprise as I hear many that struggle with an illness such as this end up not wanting to suffer any longer.
DailyMail quotes Karen as stating:
‘I knew that I was dying,’ she said. ‘I confess that at one stage I gave up. …read more

A Pennsylvania woman has given birth to triplets, but not just any triplets…but identical triplets. It is very rare to give birth to identical triplets so I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the future.
The triplets were born at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh this past Wednesday (not today).
The triplets were actually born at 33 weeks because mom, Amanda Faher, developed pre-eclampsia and this was safer. It isn’t uncommon that a woman delivers multiples sooner than the due date, normally due to the space.  I believe she actually went pretty far, close to the actual birth …read more

It was reported just this morning that a 41-year-old woman in Indonesia has given birth by caeserean to a 19 pound baby. OUCH! Thank goodness this was done by c-section, the baby measured at 24 inches long and 19.2lbs.
It is believed he became as big as he did because the pregnant woman had diabetes, so far it hasn’t been made official yet. Reports state that he was very hard to get out when it came time to deliver him.
NYDaily News:
“This heavy baby made the surgery really tough, especially the process of taking him out of his mum’s womb. His legs …read more

At Great Ormond Street children’s hospital the staff had to be quick on their feet when Nicola Tyler went into labor. Nicola had been visiting her 6-year-old daughter, Kelly, who has Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
As we all know, babies don’t care where you are when they want to be born. A newborn will make a mom deliver on the side of the road, at home, in a store, at a gas station, on a plane or at a hospital. …read more

It has recently come out that those that are pregnant with a baby and do not exercise during the pregnancy may in fact have a big baby. Does this mean we are making our babies big or small?ome believe the answer is yes, while others still argue no. There are even arguments that the more you exercise the faster and easier the birth may be.
DoctorNDTV reports:
To study the association between regular exercise before and during pregnancy and excessive newborn birth weight, researchers analysed data from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study and the Medical Birth Registry of Norway …read more
