NEXT: L&D Complications

Even though a healthy baby nearly always results, getting to the delivery room is never easy on TV.

  1. All in the Family Gloria goes to a phone booth to call the doctor to let him know they’re going to the hospital, and the door gets stuck so she can’t get out. ETA: Guess I should mention for everyone under 55 that Gloria is having the baby. /ETA

I love this one, because even though it is as silly as any TV delivery complication, it does come as surprise-- when Gloria goes into the phone booth to make the call, you really don’t see the gag coming, back in the days when making a call from a public phone was common as dirt.

(Later, he shows up at the hospital straight from the Tropicana in spooky tribal makeup for a voodoo number, scaring everybody until he faints at the baby-viewing window.)

  7. Highway to Heaven - “Basinger’s New York” - It’s a cold Christmas Eve in New York City. Mary is very pregnant, and she and her husband Joseph cannot even afford a night at a fleabag hotel (which is full anyway), much less a hospital, which would be more useful. She might well have to give birth on the street. But Jonathan (the angel) arranges things (long story) so she can be admitted to a hospital, in the presence of three wise men (Mark, Basinger, and the Cabbie). Mary’s baby is the first born in New York on Christmas Day.

Not so crazy–

My insurance company standard was 3 days in the hospital following a c-section (2 days following a vaginal birth). My son was born by emergency c-section at 11:55 on Oct. 10, so insurance tried to say that the 5 minutes from 11:55 to midnight on the 10th was my first day.

I’d labored for 27 hours before having the c-section under general anesthesia, and my son had meconium in his airway (suctioned), so he was in an isolette for 12 hours, and given antiobiotics, because he was at risk for pneumonia (he didn’t get). My doctor let the insurance company have it, and got me not just a full 3 days beginning on the 11th, but another day after that,

Mindy has trouble accepting that their child is in the egg. The egg grows and hatches a full grown, elderly man as Mork and Mindy’s baby (since Orkans age backwards).

  10. Xena: Warrior Princess - Xena must descend to Tartarus shortly before she is due to deliver, which is risky, because if she goes into labor and delivers there, the baby will be stillborn, so she has to go in and get out quickly. Meanwhile, Zeus is tracking her to kill her, because the baby will usher in a new age that ends the time of the Olympic gods, and Hercules is hot on Zeus’ trail to kill him first.
