Zeemax 0 #1 January 21, 2005 Anyone know anything about this? Taken from www.ananova.com Parachutist goes into labour in mid-air A pregnant Russian woman went into labour in the middle of a parachute jump. Marija Usova gave birth to a baby girl minutes after landing from the jump in Moscow. She had ignored warnings when she decided to arrange the jump when she was eight months pregnant. Halfway through her jump she suddenly felt an enormous pain and realised she had gone into labour. She managed to control her descent, although she said she was close to passing out at times, and landed safely where she immediately began to give birth, local media reported. Doctors on hand rushed to her aid and helped deliver the baby. Usova said the last words she remembers hearing were: "It's a girl" before waking up in a hospital. She said: "I wanted my baby to have the beautiful feeling of flying through the air and free-falling before it was born and give it something really unusual. "I was already in the air when I suddenly felt a massive pain. I realised that it had already started. "I cried out: "Oh God help me" and kept my legs tightly together but beyond that there wasn't much more I could do. I just kept thinking that my baby had to survive this. But every second of that descent seemed to take eternity." She said she had decided to name her daughter Larisa: "It means Seagull in ancient Greek."Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbordson 8 #4 January 21, 2005 Not what I would recommend... and would her OB/GYN have to do a two-way / three-way.... and how many points would that count as? Edited: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!!!!! She got VERY LUCKY! I respect her desire to make the delivery meaningful... but consider the choice as reckless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christoofar 0 #5 January 21, 2005 Not one of the brightest things to do. Imagine if she miscarried because of it... I'm sure the folks at DarwinAwards would have had a field day. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

There a several women in this community who are great mothers that chose to jump during their pregnancy. By the way, it's not supposed to come out at 8 months. Anyway. I doubt the story is true. In most cases labor last a lot longer than that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I don't think he counts though... cuz with rw jumps the team HAS a camera guy, but it's still a 4way... just my thoughts) But I like the board jump concept.

julesshrew 0 #20 March 30, 2005 This story is in the magazine I bought today. So I thought I'd share the 'facts' enjoy Highlights from the article .... She met her keen parachutist husband and decided to do her first jump Two weeks later the couple did their first jump together while they fell he was gesturing to her which she didnt understand. But when they landed he told her he loved her Couple of weeks before due date went with friends to DZ instructors wouldnt let her jump but she found one who'd taught her to fly and told him she was only 6 months gone. Jumpsuit felt tight over tummy According to the article she jumped at 2000ft, felt the air rushing around her, realised her waters had broken and a sharp pain in her abdomen, then panicked tried to alert her friends who were skydiving around her She then ran off the landing while cradling her bump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
