Wow! What an experience. Your story brought tears to my eyes. So glad they're both okay and hope Romy is recovering quickly. Bringing a baby into this world is hard enough but adding major surgery, blood loss and transfusion and unplanned hospital stay must have been beyond-words-difficult. You are all in my thoughts as you begin the amazing journey that is parenthood. As one who has gone before, we're all here for you, anytime. Seriously. ♥~Emily

Amazing. Congratulations, Keith. You have a remarkable family.

And with that, you realize how insignificant your former definition of love and happiness really was.

Congratulations to the Phipps family!

I'm talking about mortality throughout history. I should've been more specific. There's no better time to be pregnant, even just 200 years ago things were very different. I appreciate modern science.

Our Motherhood Morbidity rates far exceed other nations with comparable technology and wealth. As it stands, we are at 15.1 maternal deaths per 100,000 births in 2005, up from 7.5 per 100,000 in 1982. Even sadder, the rates are likely higher than even we know since the CDC reports that two thirds of maternal deaths are not represented because the method of reporting deaths has no standard and is not being done properly. We are behind 40 other countries.

Definitely! My SO however was a different story... So we compromised! We found a hospital close by which has a birthing center and you can be exclusively treated by certified nurse-midwives if you are low risk :) But, if anything happens, I am already in a hospital and all they need to do is call in the OB. This is my first child and I am hoping to do a home birth next time around depending on how this goes :)

I absolutely would not, the risks outweigh the benefits for me. I prefer a real doctor and appreciate that modern science has lowered maternal and infant mortality rates. But everyone else is free to do as they wish, it's a personal choice!

I can relate man. Christmas at my Grandma's isn't the same either. I still have angry moments sometimes. The sadness is something I've learned to deal with for the most part, but knowing how awesome Grampy would have been with Connor breaks my heart on a weekly basis.

The best part of this story is you did it! You got out of your comfort zone and went out and got the pots you wanted. Keep pushing yourself, and it may become normal to you. We've had lots of conversations on this, and I know exactly how it feels. I was put into a similar position this past weekend at a bar. The difference between us is I didn't have a panic attack, I got really angry and had to keep myself from crying in the corner at the bar. You know you can talk to me whenever you want! Even if it's just texting me to tell you you'll be fine or talk to you all the way through...

Glad nothing happened, but somehow, I believe I would call the police and have this incident investigated. Might be a plot to do something else..........AND MORE LOCKS ON DOOR

Hey I have been there and I just get up and go on and things do get better.
As for as Oregon...maybe it is time for you to look for happiness elsewhere..believe me you have the talent and experience..so go for it...BUT the focus is on your happiness and satisfaction with your life, then everything will fall in place. Remember you do have a lot of people very proud of you and what you have accomplished.AND they also love you..

I hate peacocks because I was chasing one of those bastards at the Royal Melbourne Zoo when I was a kid and fell over and scored a scar on my knee. My fault but I still hate them.

You need to do what makes you happy. whether it be staying out in OR or moving back home, or the mid west or getting out of the I.T. field. Think about what makes you happiest and go with it. Life is to short to be miserable and unhappy. You have a few months yet, and I know you'll make the right choice for you.
