But but but, when did they yell Push 1234456789 10? How could the baby possibly be born without somebody yelling push
That really is sweet.

That is so sweet!

You know sometimes in the comments I say with horror, “That sounds like something the doctor says to every single patient”? Well, this also sounds like something the doctor says to every single patient, and it shows this doctor’s awe and reverence for the moment of birth and the mother and the baby.

Doctor, we love you!

I choked up and teared up. What a beautiful story.
My mother has 8 kids and said that her OB (same one for all teared up at every birth.

Lovely ob.

How sweet! The hospital in which my son was born played a lullabye over the PA system whenever a new baby was born. I liked that.

The hospital my oldest was born at (Naval hospital, Marine base) sounded two bells and announced the gender and parent’s branch of service every time a baby was born. “Baby boy, USMC!” It was the same signal they use to let everyone know a general or admiral was arriving.

I had all my kiddos in the hospital with midwives…and with the last 3 they all said, “Happy birthday Baby!” or “Welcome to the World, Liitle One.” I got lucky.

Absolutely lovely! I so wish all OBs were like this…

My one shining moment in a terrible repeat c-section was when my OB greeted my son by name (she had asked what our chosen names were) and welcomed him to the world.
