A penis is the beggining of all tradegy! LOL!

I had my babies at home and it eliminated the mix up issue.

wow i would have be terrified a girl with a penis wow wenrt u mad sorry about that ur own baby was swicthed dont u think they would have already found out looking in its diper

I have had seven children...and was *there* when they were born, of course. How can you forget in a matter of hours what your baby looks like? LOL...my little ones were with me from birth until we took them home, usually an hour or so later...what's the big deal? If you're going to take drugs, you're going to forget...I suppose?

LOL...I'm glad this usually works out all right. What a scare for new parents!

Poor Anita. She must be having a very bad day, but a gramatically correct one, of course. Get a life, girl.

anita is a ass dont worry about her comment .if thats all any of you do here is trash spelling or grammer stay out an hang in the library. its as boring as you are . sharon glad things worked out for you .

Just wanted all of you to know that as far as what I typed early that is exactly what I meant. I got the wrong baby yes I was there had C-section and the baby went to a nursury then to my room after 20 hours of labor. When they did bring my baby in because of course I was asking for her and did yes remember what she looked like I was quizzing them first on why my baby was wraped in a blue blanket and then why was my baby so small when I had a big fat one? They claimed too much anthesia which I had very little and offered to take her to the nursury to care for which I didnt want I wanted to keep my baby but vibes from this baby I did not like. And yes I did not care for this baby so that is exactly what I meant early. After 5 hours they soon listened after me telling them I didnt think this was my baby. They then looked at the code on the bracelet and since the name did not match mine they did quickly gather this baby 5 pounds and bring mine. Maybe you think it is strange but I did make jokes about it since I felt so badly that I DID NOT like the first baby at all and mine I quickly bonded with as soon as they brought her. I was definately glad that I was able to be comfortable with my baby instead of so awkward feeling. So for those of you that think it is odd you obviously have never been in this situation and it is strange to me how this feeling changes so when the baby is yours. I can honestly say there is a different feeling. Any grammar problems I am not a english major so good for you that you are. And yes it is very scary to think that someone might really go home with the wrong baby. I am glad mine did not go this far.

I actually agree w Anita. It's just frustrating trying to read something that doesn't make sense. It's not about being an English major, it's about being able to speak properly. The words were jumbled, didn't make any sense and just really impossible to understand.

Everyone who responded to Sharron's experience is rude! Thanks for sharing Sharron. People are constantly on the look out to cut others down to make themselves feel better. As I tell my third graders, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all! Take a look at your own flaws, and work on them.

Hey Joey M

Don't you "PROOFREAD" ?

Sharon... How can you take it easy. 18 yrs I had my daughter @ Columbia Presb. hospital in NYC. there complications with my delivery. I saw my daughter briefly but my Family did see and made sure she had her footprints and i.d. on her wrist & ankle on b-4 they took her to the nursery. after 2 days not being able to hold her let alone see her finally they bought her to me, I was the last mom to get the babies when they handed out al the babies for a visit. I see the bassinet coming notice this tiny Baby right I told the nurse thats not my baby! she said it is, you just havent seen her in 2 days, I said nope, she then pushed the bassinet towards me and i pushed it back and said no she is not my baby. My baby was a larger bassinet because she was 9lbs and 22 1/2 inches long. and the other baby was 5 lbs and very dark!. she assumed that since the baby was dark she was mine and my light skinned baby belonged to the other hispanic mother who is married to a black hispanic man from dominican republic and both babies had the same last name, MEANWHILE... the other mother is preparing to be discharged with my BABY! AND SHE DRESSED my baby to leave, knowing this baby was not her's. she had 2 full hours with my baby about to leave wth her back to her country!. My Uncle called the NYPD, hospital security, the Nurse is saying I have lost my mind that I am refusing to take the lil Baby. I am screaming my head off, and Thankfully that the Nurse who helped my daughter said that baby is not Mom's. they found my baby with the other mom getting ready to leave the hospital and this Nurse was fired on the spot! all because these to baby girls with the same last name were switch because this nurse assumed that since my skin color was caramel skin and the other mom was a white hispanic that her dark baby was mine! I was frantic, very upset. I couldnt sleep just thinking what this was doing with my baby for 2 hrs! and almost to kidnapped my baby.

for all of those people who will comment my english, excuse me. Thank you

The same thing happened to my grandma when she had my mom, they gave my mom to this couple, the couple went home and then noticed that the baby was actually black (very light skin though) and then went back and got their baby. Of course this was back in the hippie area of California but whatever. The funny part is it happened to my mom with me too. Its very easy...apparently like 1 in 12 people experience it.

I have never had a baby before. I do, however, know that some people deal with serious issues by making jokes. It is a personality thing and helps them cope with the seriousness of the situation. It doesn't mean that they don't care about what is going on. I do the same thing when something serious happens. I have done it since I was a kid. I even remember one time when my legs would not work when I was in jr. high and I made jokes about it. It helped me deal with the situation. Just wanted to throw that out there for the people that commented on Sharon's story and how she was joking about it with the doctor.

OH BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The spelling and lanugage usage Police are alive and well living in the blogs!!! How comforting, now I can sleep at nights knowing they are here.

I completely understand making jokes at the situation. When I am at funerals I am the funniest person in the world. When I am injured or in pain, I make jokes. When I am scared that my children are hurt, I make jokes and try to make them laugh. Like when my youngest stubbed her toe on the my special table, passed down for generations (also known as hunk of crap each generation unloaded) she's crying, holding her toe and I jokingly run over and comfort the table, offering to kiss it's leg.
But, I never bonded immediately with any of my children. I would never have recognized a different baby unless it was very different in size. My last two were an average 7lb 10oz. and 6lb 14oz so they would have easily passed for any other average baby girl.
Now that they are teens, I was kind of hoping the hospital would call and trade out one of them for a non mouthy one that would clean it's room and pick up the trail of trash she leaves wherever she goes. ha ha.

Anita and others:

Was it really necessary to correct Sharon's grammar? This is not English class. It is an open and unbiased discussion board. Learn to be graceful when posting. We are not here to correct grammar, now are we? God Bless you!!
