52 hours in labor

I'm the furthest thing there is from an expert in the events surrounding the birth of a child, but damn that's a long time. Or at least sounds like it.

Also, congratulations Gary!

Congrats to Gary, 52 hours must have been crazy.

#9 Posted by psylah (1656 posts) - 11 months, 16 days ago

@FLStyle: I think she was due about three weeks ago, right around E3 time, so the baby had some extra growing time.

I heard her called Penelope from other people tweeting at him, but when I can confirm something said by him or Leah then I'll update the original post.

It sounds as if she didn't want to be born at all!

#24 Posted by YOUNGLINK (465 posts) - 11 months, 16 days ago

Thats awesome and congrats Gary and Leah. You should live stream "Gary TV" when the baby gets a bit older.

#25 Posted by crazyleaves (587 posts) - 11 months, 16 days ago

Holy crap 52 hours, my wife was in labour for 40 and it was utterly exhausting!

Congats Gary, welcome to real life.

#26 Posted by Nottle (1881 posts) - 11 months, 16 days ago

Hopefully Gary TV is ready. Also OP says that Leah is Gary's wife, I think she's just his girlfriend. I may be mistaken.

Anyways nice to hear the good new.

His paternal coaching during labor consisted of saying "Have that baby".

From what I have been told, the longer it takes the healthier (fewer complications and risk to both child and mother) the birth is. Could be bullshit, but sounds good to me.

Which is exactly why we need to get Vinny to kill Gary, which at that point will fuel a passion for Gary's daughter to avenge him. She'll train for years and years to exact revenge only for Vinny to die of old age. Which then means she'll go for Max, which is the next of kin. Up to this point we were also training Max, so they just end up beating the shit out of each other.

Congrats guys, I just mentioned 52 hours of labour to my wife and I'm pretty sure she's never going off the pill now, so score! :D

Wait, why was Max training? Why Vinny killed Whitta? Is Vinny from the mafia and his son is actually just a new bodyguard?

Congratulations! We all know you'll find this thread, Whitta...

And I think "slight, partial breastage" is the funniest spoiler warning I've seen yet.

That is an INSANE amount of time. Twelve is long, but common.

Thanks all! Actually the baby was two days early, her due date was July 4 but I guess she decided to forego that in deference to her English dad. :)

The labor was long and exhausting, both physically and emotionally, but Leah was an absolute superhero and mother and baby both are doing well. We will be in the hospital a couple more days before going home. But we are overjoyed, this baby is a little miracle. Can't even begin to explain how amazing it feels to have her here.

#48 Posted by ahaisthisourchance (1721 posts) - 11 months, 15 days ago

@gwhitta: Well that's a face of a happy man if I have ever seen one.

@gwhitta

Congratulations! If the kind of advice you give on TNT is any indication, that child is in wonderful hands!
