Not my favorite "holiday".
Was in early labor with my first...we lived in a new development where kids were bussed in, literally.
DH didn't get home until 10PM so disappointed ...."Where's all the kids?" There almost was another ghoul to decorate the front yard after that crack!
I ended up with the dog on a leash sitting on the bottom step of the split level entry.
Turns out that my son was laying transverse and fortunately was successfully delivered with forceps which my doctor was well experienced with.
It was a very, very long labor before the x-ray was taken. OOPS!
