Well, I know it’d be before birth ( 'cause it certainly wouldn’t be after birth).
I’ll kick in a buck towards a propeller beanie:
“Dr, what’s that sound?”
“Sounds like a weed-whacker. She must be in labor!”
“Here it comes… the head is through…”
“Oh, I Know! Isn’t that breeze lovely?”
Father, looking over in a panic
“Doc, is it a boy or a girl?”
“One moment; the zipper on these Carters pants is sticky. Nurse?”
“Don’t look at me…”
May as well multi-task:
“Say, Doctor Fine, while we’re all here and the room’s paid for and everything, why don’t you go ahead and give camcorder-Dad over there a vasectomy? I want him to experience the ‘miracle’ too…”
I bought a pair of dark pink socks to labour in - but it was 31 degrees at the time so don’t think I wore them much at home, and don’t have them on in photos from the birth. I was allowed to wear my own birthing dress both times, in a private hospital, so if I’d wanted socks I would have been allowed to I think.
Not until you tell me what in the world does the question MEAN. What sock? Left, right, tube, argyle? Wind sock, winsock, sockpuppet? Having to do what with a natural childbirth?
Insufficient data. Are “we” having this baby in August or January? In Alabama or North Dakota? I don’t see what foot attire has to do with whether the birth itself is considered “natural” or not.
