30. "The bed did a sort of 'Tokyo drift' into the delivery room..."

"Partway through my labor, I felt a sudden, much worse pain than I had ever felt before. I hit the nurse-call button shrieking for help. A second nurse came in as the first one lifted the sheet to check...and they both exclaimed: 'STOP PUSHING!!'

They started wheeling me out of the room. They kept shouting: 'STOP PUSHING!' and I kept shouting back: 'I'M NOT PUSHING!'

We slammed through the double doors of the delivery room and the bed sorta did a 'Tokyo drift' to a stop in the middle of the room. The momentum caused me to drop from my side onto my back and as soon as my back landed on the bed, the baby popped out (and the pain went away). The nurse standing at the foot of my bed was pulling on gloves, and she snapped the last glove on and exclaimed: 'Tell the doctor he can take his time now.'"
