Labor

Birth Generator

Hey there.

I came up with my own idea of a birth generator.

You can CHOOSE and don’t have to use a randomizer or to roll a dice.

Please comment what you’ve chosen for each section and I try to write a birth story with your choices.

Don’t wonder that there isn’t a section where you could chose a helper or someone who assist. I prefer unassisted birth and I try my best to just write unassisted birth stories with your choices.

1. Character’s Age?

a. 16-19

b. 20-25

c. 26-30

d. 31-35

e. 36-40

1. How are the hips?

a. Wide

b. Normal

c. Narrow

1. How many babies?

a. 1

b. 2

c. 3

d. 4

e. 5

f. 6

1. Baby Weight  (Chose the weight for each baby if multiples)

a.5.5 lbs

b.6.6 lbs

c.7.7 lbs

d.8.8 lbs

e.9.9 lbs

f.11 lbs

g.12.1 lbs

h.13.2 lbs

1. How well do you cope?

a. Weak  (screaming and crying with each contraction)

b. Normal

c. Strong  (handles it good and breathes as long as possible)

d. Perfect  (ignore the pain until baby arrives quietly)

1. Complications  (for each baby if multiples)

a. None

b. Foot breech  (in this position, one or both of the baby’s feet point downward and will be delivered before the rest of the baby)

c. Frank breech  (The baby’s buttocks are aimed at the birth canal with its legs sticking straight up in front of his body and the feet near the head)

d. Complete breech  (Here, the buttocks are pointing downward with the legs folded at the knees and feet near the buttocks)

e. Cord around neck

f. Shoulder dystocia  (Shoulder/Baby is stuck)

g. Compound 1*  (baby's hand presents alongside its head, making a larger size that has to go through the pelvis)

h. Compound 2*  (baby's arm or elbow is across its face, which can cause intense pain)

i. Posterior**  (baby is head-down and 'looking' at the mother’s tummy; its spine is against the mother’s spine)

j. Brow or Face  (baby is head-down with the head de-flexed and the chin tilted so that either the forehead (brow) or face is towards the mother's vagina.  This is very difficult for vaginal birth (although a few are on record

i. *Compound Birth: A baby can be born with a hand alongside its head, although the process is usually slow.  Often however, something happens to make the baby move its hand or arm back, and then the baby is born very quickly thereafter.  Very painful position, but resolves more easily than some of the others.

ii. **Posterior:  The diameter of the head that must fit through first is larger, and many posterior babies have their heads de-flexed (chins not tucked under, or 'military position'), which creates an even larger diameter. This often makes for a much more difficult, slow, and painful birth.
