I had remembered my wife screaming about the pain. I remembered trying to comfort her, telling her if it was possible for me to be the one to give birth, I would. The next thing I could remember was a feeling that almost seemed like I was being ripped in half starting between the legs while pushing something out of me. I could hear crying, but I wasn’t done pushing. And then I passed out.
When I awoke some time later, my wife, who was now in my body, explained to me everything that had happened. They were calling it the Great Shift, and had ended up swapping into her body moments before giving birth. I had torn pretty severely in child birth and passed out from blood loss. I was fortunate enough that the doctor had swapped into the body of a nearby nurse, and I was able to be sewn back up pretty quickly, but...body swapping? Great Shift? Being in my wife’s body? It was a lot to take in.
