    Wouldn’t hanging out in a walkin freezer/fridge or someplace cold freeze said water? That way the baby wouldn’t be able to break through the ice and have to wait another day to be born.

    I might be getting biology wrong.

      I believe you’re pretty spot-on. “Crowning” is when the baby emerges with the ice cap on its head (much like a crown). These lucky women are known as “ice queens.”
