Then again maybe they were just eager for a baby snack.

Now I'm an alternative energy & counter-culture loving 30-something (slightly more cynical) hippie living in the SF Bay Area. I'm down with whatever birthing method keeps mom & baby healthy, and mom, dad & baby happy.

It was a fun but definitely not a magical transcendent experience. I won't be signing up for the birthing with dolphins or finding my inner dolphin. Thank you for posting this, I needed a good laugh!
