Anastasia, that´s just terrible!! What a delivery, sounds like some horror movie! I´m happy your son is alright, and that the other girl is okay too. I found out that sometimes nurses or midwives know alot more about deliveries than doctors. When I had my son the doctor didn´t do a thing, he just stood there some minutes and went to have some coffee. There was a midwife who helped me through it and it turned out fine. Afterwards the doctor´s fees were much higher, it was ridiculous.
So when I was pregnant with my daughter we decided to have a homebirth with this midwife - yeah I know it was a bit risky, but we´d get to the hospital if there was any trouble. The thing was, my girl´s head was faced the wrong way, so there was no way she would be able to get out without a csection. At least, that´s what a doctor would´ve said. But this midwife, she used some ancient technique to turn her around and she was out in no time!
I was very very happy.
So yeah, doctors are a bit overrated in my opinion...
