Well friday night made it to a friends house just up the road from the hospitial and heres a quick pic of the Gear we have loaded:

Some kind of pillow thing
Case of water
Plenty of food/snacks
Several changes of clean clothes
Car seat
Baby gear/supplies
G27 with plenty of spare mags (in case of rioters)
Arak 21 SBR 5.56 (in case of extreme rioters)
And a great friend ready to emergency extract us if needed!!!

I think this whole dad thing is natural for me!?

It is to support baby for feeding....but the inflatable ring thing mom may want if it a natural childbirth.

The first one is usually not in a hurry.
Don't wait around on the second one...it was 45 min hospital to baby.
Gas drops..
Ask if you have questions.

Yes momma is doing a natural birth no meds or pain killers. She says no matter how much i scream for them the answer is "NO"!!! I said ok momma the answer will be no then!!! Plus she has a birth plan printed out so the hospitial staff should follow that also because if they ask me anything my answer is "no"!!!

Yep, Natural birth.... They all say that until it happens.... Then "WHERE is the EPIDURAL? I NEED it NOW!"

Have witnessed it over three births....

What teed me off were all the wasted Saturdays in Nat Childbirth classes instead of hunting....

Take a roll of Quarters for the Vending bandit, they may take credit cards now.

Like any good plan, it will last to about 7cm.
The first was induced and epidural.
Second was natural.
Good luck!
P.s. she will want the epidural. If you say no, plan or no plan, the nurses will look at you like a pack of feral cats....ask me how I know.
(I just drove real slow for the second one.)
Carseat, bottles, spare nipples of the first couple sizes, pump...the list goes on.
Oh I so enjoyed the tiny baby years!

Planned on a long labor for our first. Lasted an hour. Second was 40 minutes. Needless to say, both were natural births because by the time we made it to the hospital the wife was downloading. She was a natural.

Make plans, but be flexible. Especially if it's your first.

Congratulations.
