This is a wonderful story and I identify with it. Back in "our day" hubbies were not allowed in the delivery room. There are just two changes I suggest. One is to change "sex" to "gender" and the other is a typo here:
"he was wrong so he would write of (off) the hospital bill"
Fantastic for the doctor to be a friend and a good guy to help you out like that. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

A very well-written heartfelt story about the best time of your life when the unexpected pregnancy turned into a wedding and the birth of a beautiful baby girl in a few weeks time.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
A beautiful touching story about the birth of a baby! A baby is a blessing no matter what the sex....but to give birth to a girl instead of a boy would be a total surprise....did you shop early and purchase boy clothes?

Thank you so much Rosemary for reading, reviewing and your kind comments. Although I had been told it was probably a boy I chose neutral colors rather than pink.
Comment from Goodadvicechan
Any addition is always a happy event. This sounds very much in the old days people got married because the girl was already pregnant. Else, the girl was still a virgin on marriage.
That was why people got married at teenage so that why can enjoy sex when young.
It is indeed a happy event.

Comment from poetwatch
Love never has a moment to spare, author. When one is in love, accidents happen. I'm glad your husband loved you very much and was the man of the hour. My wife and I had 3 girls, they are grown with families of their own. This is a good offering for The Time of my Life contest.

Comment from BethShelby
This is a great story. No one gets to stay in the hospital and be pampered that long anymore. They send you home the next day. I'm so glad things worked out well to you. You had a guy who really loved you to get on his knees and propose after a shock like that.

Hello,
Great insight into your )Days of Old.( The found the following statement quite interesting:
)Back in those days, it was common practice to have the new to be mother cleansed out, so I had to suffer through the effects of castor oil mixed with orange juice.(

Comment from Wendy G
This is a lovely story, a real reminder of how things used to be, regarding births. So wonderful that your boyfriend loved you dearly, enough to propose then and there. Even more wonderful that you had a beautiful baby girl with no complications. And the doctor was a gem, a very kind and compassionate man.
