One woman is in labor for twenty-four hours and one opens her mouth and the child is born. The grandmother called me tonight and thanked me for whatever happened. What did I do but assume that she called me that the thing was perfectly done and the child was perfect. The child was three weeks overdue. The little mother…it’s typical of this day or that day…for the boy was born, 8 lbs. 4 oz., [...], and three weeks overdue. Still she got the feeling of going to the hospital. She went and before she could almost get on the bed the child was born. No problem whatsoever. And so, in her case the child was born that way. I know of others in my own circle who labored for twenty-four hours and forty-eight hours to bring forth a child that was only five months.338 ¶29
