!open, ~greg house

Hello,

Sorry to bother you all. I'm not sure if all of you are aware- I know there are some new recruits and so on- but my husband is due to have a baby in ~~July~~ August. In my world at least, this really isn't meant to be possible. I've obviously been following his pregnancy closely, and everything is going exactly as you would expect it to in a woman's body.

Of course, there is a problem. Although the island has apparently rendered him capable of carrying a child to full term, I have no idea what is going to happen when he reaches his due date.

I am no surgeon. I know that the logical solution is going to be a Caesarean, but- do any of you have any experience in this area? I've read what I can, but without any practical experience I'm- terrified, frankly. ~~I could lose them both~~ I need your help, whatever you feel able to offer.

Thank you,
JW

	Slice him open. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes, thank you for your valuable input, I had got that part. I was just rather hoping not to kill him in the process. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If the "Island" has made it possible for a man to carry out a pregnancy to full term, then giving birth is part of the package deal unless you screw up. You apply the same logic and practical cuts of a normal Cesarean. I've done it before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I would apply that logic, too, but I'm not about to leave it to chance. Now, that is helpful. I've never performed a Caesarean before, you see. Would you be willing to help us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Anything to watch a man give birth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm going to assume you mean that from a medical curiosity point of view, and not a turning him into a freak show point of view. ~~Not that I can afford to be fussy~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gregory_housemd 2013-04-17 01:40 pm UTC (link)
	Ah come on. He was a freak show the day he fell pregnant. But seriously, you're gay? Who is he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-04-17 01:41 pm UTC (link)
	Please, I would appreciate it if we could treat him with some dignity. Yeah, I don't think you've met him yet. His name's Sherlock- you won't miss him, he's the pregnant one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gregory_housemd 2013-04-17 01:45 pm UTC (link)
	So who gives it and who takes it? I mean, I always thought you gave it. Despite your soft and pathetically caring nature. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-04-17 01:47 pm UTC (link)
	That's- you hardly know me, why are you thinking about this sort of thing? Also, inappropriate much? ~~Although I'm sure if you think about which one of us is pregnant, you'll have your answer.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How far along is the parasite? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-04-17 02:04 pm UTC (link)
	Did anyone ever tell you that you have an impeccable bedside manner? Sherlock's 21 weeks along, now. I miscalculated- his due date is August 24th, not July. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh everyday. Plenty of time. Wanna grab a beer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-04-17 02:18 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, all right. I'm not really drinking right now, but I can certainly join you in the pub, if you like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gregory_housemd 2013-04-17 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	You're not drinking? Because your pregnant lady boy can't drink? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-04-17 02:24 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, exactly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gregory_housemd 2013-04-17 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	Urgh (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-04-17 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	I thought you might say that! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gregory_housemd 2013-04-17 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	Let me guess, it was your idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-04-17 02:36 pm UTC (link)
	Well, sort of. He was a little put out by the endless list of things he couldn't do, so- yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gregory_housemd 2013-04-17 02:40 pm UTC (link)
	He doesn't need to know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-04-17 02:41 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, trust me, he would know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spoken like a true crappy liar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nah, he's a consulting detective, he does this for a living, and he's terrifyingly good at it. There's no having secrets around him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
