Precipitous Labour or How Not to Have Your Baby on the Toilet

Jenn (they/them) has given birth to two beautiful little kiddos. But their pregnancy was not your "typical" ordeal. Usually, labour ranges from 6 to 18 hours from the very early stage until birth. Precipitous labour (also known as rapid labour) is anything quicker than that. And for Jenn we're talkin Fast and Furious 10 quick. The first birth was around 2 hours. The second, was much MUCH quicker than that. Most folks hope for a quick and easy labor, but precipitous labour may be too fast and can lead to health concerns for both parent and baby. Especially when that baby falls out while you're just sitting on the toilet.
