this is most likely the worst moment to go. maybe it was meant to be. who knows? they should really stop using epidurals. those things are more harm than good.

Anyways, it's tragic that guy died but damn, what a wuss.
I do feel sorry for them because it is sad in a way. But the sick part of my mind still finds it amusing.
Maybe you're thinking of something else?
He fainted at the site of the needle... Even if he had gotten past that needle stage, he would have had a heart attack during the delivery. What a sad way to go. =/
I expect five hundred words by the end of class period. Go.

She went through labour twice without it. Simply because doctors here don't believe they're needed for childbirth. Go figure
Slightly OT but I've heard of surgeons vomiting into the patient. I guess that's one real mess to clean up...

Wow. Really? I guess I would figure after so long of being exposed to it via school and just general interaction, you would become sorta desensitized to things. Weird.
Uhm, Elysium, tell your 'epidurals are no good' sentiments to my daughter. I expect five hundred words by the end of class period. Go.

First of all, I said they're "more harm than good". Not to be confused with 'no good at all'. And the fact is, well, it's a fact. Epidurals include many risks to the mother and child. Having a drug injected around the spinal cord is not something I would consider safe. The drug itself often enters into the mothers blood stream, and transfers to the child...blood pressure, lack of oxygen, oxytocin drip to counter the effects, side affects of drugs that conflict in purpose, yadda yadda, the list goes on, just check the internet, medical dictionary, whatever. And no this isn't another silly conspiracy. We cut open our torso and inject needles into the spine just to give birth. Why must a natural function of females be so difficult? The benefit of the epidural is it allows the mothers to relax from relieving pain. If the tension of a hectic hospital environment is causing so much pain, other methods of pain relief need to be considered. I've talked to women personally who still have a small percentage of the drug collected within the muscles in their legs even after a decade. Any therapy applied to those areas could release it back into the bloodstream. Our society is so obsessed with drugs and relieving pain that natural methods are looked down upon. Delivering babies is a big business. Yes babies die, but if at first you don't succeed...
Second of all, I'm refering to epidurals being used for nearly 90% of all childbirths, not as a general painkiller for surgery. Obviously if the proceedure is life threatening or extremely painful, the epidural would cause more relief. But we're talking about effects on healthy infants and the mother. So I think you're taking many of my opinions way too seriously. I'm sorry your kids have serious health problems. I do hope they recover and live normal lives.
Third, I've wasted my lunch responding to this crap when I just wanted to post an interesting article. My comment was more directed jokingly at the effects the needle had on the guy. I myself have a fear of needles, and wouldn't want my future wife injected and cut open next to me just to have a child.
Somewhere I put myself in a position where every thought that I have which deviates from public opinion is now being heavily scrutinized on this board. Perhaps this is a sign I've let much of my real world conflicts influence my attitude in online discussions. Time for a break.
That enough words for you? If it were possible I would just delete this thread and replace it with "LOL...guy falls over and dies while wife delivers baby...OMG DUMBASS!!!11one"
Let's try this.

hahahaa, the baby was christened at the same time. Best quote, "No you're not, honey. Come back to bed."

I really doubt that unless you have some proof...
And that second story is hilarious, typical sleeping male response! :P
My sister was born in a car... my parents were a bit slow realising they had to drive to hospital, I guess...

What you mean is, you'd have to leave the room if she wanted one... if she's the one who's having a baby, I don't think you get to decide what she does or doesn't want.

You're right. But it has been a topic of discussion. Her mom's experience is definately an influence on the choice. And we've read info on alternative methods, for whenever the time comes to make that choice in life. Just let it come out with it's ready FFS, like all the other species on this planet. I still remember how Gabe from Penny Arcade described his wife's C-section, with the doctor elbow deep in her stomach like something out of a sci-fi horror movie.
*faints*
But they only do C-sections when it's an emergency or there's a foreseen complication, like the baby isn't pointing in the right direction and will die if it isn't removed. I would much rather have my wife cut open "unnaturaly" than have her or the baby's life be ended because there was no outside intervention.
I guess this is all kind of relevant to me right now, my son is due in about 6 weeks. Got this stuff on the brain. Sorry if I'm off-topic
only way of dieing more ironic than this i can think of is drowning a a cruise liner swimming pool
If you have a penis, I don't believe you can have a valid opinion.
Either way, I wouldn't want to do it
Sam: Me too. I never knew you could stretch the lower lip over the entire head.
