Must admit I thought the same thing. I think he liked being on TV! Yes I think she had a Epidural...

Typical American birth though... No skin-to-skin contact, ob does all the 'work' (apparently), epidural, episiotomy (did you hear him say 'I just have to make a little more room here') and all that suctioning once the baby was born!

No way would I want him for my delivery!

opps have to watch it again I don't think I recognised the suctioning...
So typically what is different to an American birth to an Aussie birth (besides the beer in the fridge)?

I didn't think of her having an epidural. I was calm like that for my first and it was drug free.
