Kathleen was expecting her first baby. She was both excited and full of trepidation. She had investigated every possible manner of giving birth. There were all sorts of theories – some to ease the pain of child birth; some to ensure the baby wasn’t disadvantaged in any way.
In the end, after much research, Kathleen decided upon an underwater birth. Yes! A water birth was best. Of course, it would take place at the local birthing centre under the direction of a qualified midwife.
The time arrived! There were no complications. It went as smoothly as possible. Kathleen was relieved and surprised. By the end of the day she took the baby home.
It’s always a big decision for a mermaid whether to give birth in water or on rocks.

I’ve had scotch on the rocks quite often, but never a baby.

Perhaps the baby was Scottish and you didn’t know it was a baby.

Too many Scotch on the rocks to know clearly.
