    Can someone give clue as to what happened? Don't particularly want to read the link after seeing the first replies...

    Its tragic and all but people are being completely hysterical about it in this thread. Read the article, it's not that bad.

    It's real life, and there are often stories here that would stun the forums users. The manner in which the OP went about it in the other hand, I agree with you.

    Yes, I will not be relaying this tale to my pregnant wife :eek:

    You should tell her afterwards though, that way she can put her experience in context.

    Threads like "Man Get Hits by Train" and similar ones over on Cool Vids & Pics make it hard to tell when something is going actually going to be horrible or if people are just playing along. So I cautiously opened the link, read the headline and closed straight away.

    Nope. No thanks. Not going to read that.

    Poor baby.

    There was no warning in the original op

    My mistake. I hadn't noticed that the OP had edited his post.

    Real life has no place in AH!! This forum was founded on recession talk, casual sexism / racism and laughing at people with depression.

    I just don't think this belongs in After Hours. Or anywhere for that matter.

    :(

    Yes, I too think it should go unreported and the whole matter covered up.
    Why?
    So someone else has the misfortune of going through the same thing because they didnt think it was possible.

    It's not a pleasant story at all, it's horrific. But I don't agree that it shouldn't be reported on in the media & covered up. Plenty of nasty things have happened throughout history & if it wasn't for people speaking out & getting it publicised then those same nasty things could still be happening.

    God, or whoever is up there, help that poor baby & his mother.

    Eh that was one of the most supportive threads on this entire site in it's history.

    Tragic story indeed, though I'm thinking what sort of ape was putting that level of pressure to cause that? :eek: That took some force.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    It's often used as a place to discuss the news of the day, so while there is a lot of arseholery, if all it contained was discussion on someones last toilet visit, some twat that found a spider in the bath, or a debate on what the best take away chipper food was the best option after an drink bender, then I'd happily commit AH suicide and get myself a permaban.

    This stuff is very much so, real life. I'll put it this way, there will be a lot of women that would rather opt out of giving birth in that hospital now.

    I think it might make some women opt out of giving birth naturally. Nightmare story for mothers to be.

    I'm not telling my wife of this article.
    I know how it would effect her.

    I'm not telling her because I love her.

    Jesus, what kind of force must have been involved for that to happen!?

    Horrific story for all involved and I don't really see what there is to discuss about it.

    So you really think that deVore, one of the co-founders of this very site, would create a thread to openly mock depression?

    Next time read something before jumping to conclusions.

    Who the hell was delivering the child? A mechanic? Should never be allowed near an animate being again.

    I did not read all of it just the first few lines but I might go and read it all again, now the initial shock has gone.
    I cant imagine how that could actually happen tbh.

    I came across this morning, the Mail's version of the story - which of course spelt everything bluntly out in the headline. :mad:

    This is my new biggest fear now!
    I was already terrified that my baby would be too big for me (I'm short and have a narrow frame).
    Now I'll be terrified of this!
    God the poor mother.
    No amount of sueing will ever even come close to helping her get over this.

    I am genuinely glad that they spelled it out bluntly in the headline. Otherwise I would have had to read the article and be as horrified as everyone else was. So for once in my entire life and I really never thought I'd ever say this, the Daily Mail gets a +1 from me.

    Funny enough it wasn't Galway or Mayo. They were the first places to enter my head.

    Ah now. I know it's fashionable to insult Mayo in this forum but come on.

    They tried for six hours to deliver -




    If she attended all of her antenatal appointments, they would have had some estimation as to what size baby they were going to have to deliver.

    I can't see how doctors wouldn't approach a birth with that size of a baby with extreme caution. So traumatic for the family, and what a horrendous death for that baby.


    Sue like fúck I say.

    Absoloutely horrific story the poor baba and the mother will never get over it:( She should definitely sue. But never trust a doctor when they tell you what weight a baby is going to be, they usually get it completely wrong.
    God today is not a good day for my nerves. Seen a picture of a dog with its ears infested with ticks and haven't been able to eat since and now this terrible story. Sometimes it's just better not to click:(

    You have a valid point.
    Me with my four kids though that are just learning to read, I'd hate them to come across a headline like the Mail had.
    (Thats all.)
    Had I bought the paper (it was on their website I saw it), I would have been hiding it.

    Do people not realise that horrible birth stories like this happen around the world every day? Childbirth is a very dangerous process in many countries, for both the mother and child. We are really lucky to live in a part of the world where the dangers of something going badly wrong are practically negligable. Horrible tabloid reporting all the same. Who the hell reads these awful papers?
