I’ll start by saying that I’d get rid of the need to shit. I’m pretty sure everyone can agree that it’s unpleasant.

    Yeah so my partner gave birth to twins in a c-section.

    I also do not have the parts but hoo-boy that was the experience of a lifetime, and not necessarily all fun / happy joyous.

    Basically the pregnant person is on the table and they erect a sheet vertically just below her arms. Then dad (me) sits by her head and holds her hand while the magic happens.

    It seemed like there was about a dozen people in the theatre, the kids each having their own team of pediatrician and nurses.

    It was a complex pregnancy and while everyone is fit and well now the 48 hours following that operation were pretty terrifying.
