Maybe the doc guided her to make sure the baby didn't slip out of her grasp. </p> <p>@rachiecakes: Haha! That must be the trick. This gal has taken 0 yoga classes in her life and her fingertips barely know what her toes feel like... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian/page/2#post-257287 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:39:06 +0000 Arden 257287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: I think the doctor helped guide her hands, but it wasn't hard. You can watch it online, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian/page/2#post-257270 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:29:21 +0000 rachiecakes 257270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: must've been flexible from all the yoga! I could still give myself a full bikini wax at 40 weeks and a day, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian/page/2#post-257246 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:17:59 +0000 Minnie_Girl 257246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: It's the positioning that sounds tricky. Was she on her back? I'm imagining trying to reach down while I'm on my back, my legs are propped up, and my belly's in the way!</p> <p>...Alright, now I need to test this before my husband comes home and sees me making a fool of myself, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian/page/2#post-257113 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:21:43 +0000 Arden 257113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: An epidural only numbs you from the midsection down. Her arms still work to reach down and lift up her baby and bring it to her chest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian/page/2#post-257107 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:19:30 +0000 mrsjyw 257107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I knew I wasn't hurting the baby, then I'd want to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian/page/2#post-257101 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:16:06 +0000 Minnie_Girl 257101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I'm surprised she could move to catch them with the epidural! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian/page/2#post-257083 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:05:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 257083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, absolutely not, I don't want a mirror either! haha the less i see the less nightmares I have about the whole experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian/page/2#post-257079 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:01:14 +0000 MsMini 257079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want to do anything any Kardashian does, the whole family is just so skeezy!</p> <p>I had an emergency c-section, and will likely opt to have a repeat section, so no pulling out the baby myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian/page/2#post-257060 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:53:38 +0000 photojane 257060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: kortney actually had a medicated birth. she had an epi and didn't feel a thing - i think that's why she was so calm! the doc just said, "want to grab the baby?" and she did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian#post-257059 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:53:21 +0000 pastemoo 257059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: THAT'S AWESOME </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian#post-257032 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:37:52 +0000 EloiseKE 257032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's more like you just reach down and get the baby when you're at the very end of your marathon of pushing, and you have a team of people (in my case nurse, husband, midwife) right there guiding your hands and making sure the baby isn't going anywhere but your arms. I declined the mirror too with both deliveries. But when they told me "This is it, last push and she's here!" I was so ready for the end reward of all that pain all I could think was GIMME THAT BABY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian#post-257017 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:29:59 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 257017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>um no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian#post-256999 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:20:16 +0000 Mrsbells 256999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big fat No. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian#post-256994 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:17:36 +0000 mediagirl 256994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, no. I gave the mirror two seconds thought while I was in labor then just decided nah, not important to see her until she's out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian#post-256905 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 12:42:55 +0000 Running Elley 256905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no desire to do this!

I am hoping to be calm and serene (in general) but I won't be calm enough to just grab him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian#post-256830 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 11:52:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 256830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I'll want to.

I know I took her right away and that she was cleaned up on my chest, but she flew out in one big push so there was no time for pulling or catching! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-pull-your-baby-out-of-yourself-a-la-kourtney-kardashian#post-256426 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 01:27:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 256426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did!</p> <p>And I got to warm her and wipe her off on my chest myself.
