Apparently between the full moon and the barometric pressure changes that come with a hurricane full term pregnant women have a heightened chance of going into labor during this storm! I hope no one is stranded in labor!!!!
-
I was wondering this too!
-
I had two friends give birth today! So crazy!
-
@photojane: whoa!! So cool.
-
I'm hoping to MAKE a hurricane baby (also, that would be total TMI anywhere but here). I was just saying to DH how I wouldn't want to be 9 months pregnant right now. He claims he could deliver a baby no problem (he can't).
Hope everyone who needs to can get to the hospital! -
@Foodnerd81: In May of 2011 Nashville had major flooding and 9months later there was a serious baby boom!! So I bet lots of babies will be made in the next couple days! Good luck! : )
-
my friend gave birth today, too! 3 weeks early!
-
@Foodnerd81: i was wondering how many babies we'd see 9 months from now!!
-
Women I know who work in a NICU say there's usually a boom nine months after an event like this! Like after last years snow storm on Halloween etc., Good luck!
-
This storm's barometric pressure is lowest on record!
-
This morning, after it was confirmed that metro closed, DC Courts closed, and hubby's office closed, he walked into the kitchen when I was making coffee and said, "you know if we're holed up in the apt for 3 days, and get pregnant, we have to name the baby Sandy-boy or girl. I bet everyone that's making babies during this boom will name the baby Sandy too!"
*We are not ttc!
-
@Foodnerd81: ha i told my dh the same thing!! we aren't TTC yet, so my suggestion of making a "sandy baby" didn't fly! LOL
-
@dc yoga bee: LOL
-
The funny thing is, all these Sandy babies probably won't know why they have so many friends with birthdays at the same time. I know I would have been SO grossed out if my parents told me that!
-
I'm nowhere near the storm but have the same hopeful plans as @foodnerd81...haha! Stay safe everyone!!
-
I think a storm/blizzard making baby would be great! Just not anytime in the near future! Hopefully, in bad but totally not dangerous weather next year
-
@dc yoga bee: lol!!
I remember I made my DH read the Birth Partner and my midwife also taught a class that included prepping the husbands on how to give birth if they couldn't make it to the birth center in time! haha
I think my husband could have done it if need be.
-
@MamaMoose: the same thing happened here after Hurrican Ike in 2008. There were lots of babies born in June '09.
-
It would be great if I had a hurricane baby.... even though I'm on the wrong side of the country for the hurricane.
I'll take any kind of baby at this point. Haha.
-
Haha a big weather front went through right before my water broke a couple weeks early. And there was a ton of people having babies the days I was in a hospital. Nurses said it happens all the time
