Pregnant Women Trying To Avoid Delivering On June 6 |
|
More C-sections and induced labors are expected by doctors this week and it all has to do with the calendar.
It seems that few moms-to-be want to take the chance of giving birth next Tuesday because the child's birthday would be 6/6/06.
Some say that's just too close to 6-6-6 -- the numbers that some believe are the sign of the devil.
How SPoooOOOOooooOOOOKy!!!!!!!!!

1. And babies will die for thier mothers' superstition |
|
Inductions and sections are more dangerous for both mother and child. Any mother who risks one for such a stupid reason doesn't deserve a child and any doctor who does one with no better justification should lose his ability to practice medicine.

Too bad I didn't get knocked up nine months ago. I would have invited you down to watch The Omen w/ me in the labor room.

13. I don't think I knew you nine months ago. |

Besides, I'm training the six year old to be the terror of conservatives everywhere.

17. I was very calm when I informed them to get the |
|
fucking drugs. Then I threw up (way overheated).
I was in labor for 36 hours by then. I deserved whatever I wanted.
And it wasn't The Omen that I watched when I was in labor-it was Night of the Living Dead. I sided w/ the zombies.

5. My SO's daughter was born by c-section on 9/10/02. |
|
It was a medically necessary (but non-emergency) c-section, and while I don't think they went out of their way to make sure she wouldn't be born on 9/11, my SO's glad it worked out that way. (If my doc told me I needed a c-section, and it could either happen on 9/10 or 9/11, I'd choose the former too. Although I wouldn't be too concerned about 6/6/6 -- I'm Jewish. :D)

It was an ordinary day, though much was made of the date.

8. They talked about this on the local news. |
|
I know someone due on 6/08. This is her third child and the first two were csection so they plan on one w/ this baby.
She's requested the 6th instead, just for shits and giggles.
