That's some scary shit!
Our first birth went very smoothly. The second one made think why anyone would ever want to go through this process ever again.
My second son was turned around in the whom (sunny side up - OP) which made it very difficult to push out. I guess when this happens people usually get emergency C sections but it was to late for that. After the final push the doctor put my son on my wife's chest and he was completely blue and not moving. They tried to clear his throat and he was still unresponsive. My wife just kept repeating "is he all right? is he alright!" They pulled his tiny blue body off her chest and he looked lifeless and they had to call the NICU unit. He hadn't breathed in almost 2 minutes and within a few seconds about 10 people were hovering over him working on him. At this point I turned white and had the cold sweats and thought I was either going to puke, pass out or both. Finally they got him breathing, all the extra nurses and doctors left and they acted like it was business as usual. It was the scariest 5-10 minutes of my life.
Here they are side by side, nearly 4 years apart...
