In FMA ep. 8, "The philosopher's stone" , Ed tells Hughes that he owes hime one for delivering his baby girl. Did I miss something? I reviewed the first eps, and there were no episodes about this. Anyone got any info?:confused:

I remember that! I watched it and it was hilarious. It was early in the series and both AL and ED were freaking out. They didn't actually show the birth. Only both of them freaking out, then them getting some towels and water and that stuff, and then fast foward to a baby.
You obviously didn't watch that episode or you'd remember it.
It's when they are training for the military alchemist exams with the doctor guy (before the tragic stories occur with him...) and when Ed heats up the water in the basin it's the first time (chronologically, you've seen it before in the anime but this is a flashback) that he discovers he can perform alchemy without a circle.
They reflect on how their mother went through that and how alchemists couldn't do what mothers do in a million years.
It's actually a pretty continual theme throughout the anime, how equivilent exchange isn't true because you get new life basically for free, how there is an inherant quality to it, it comes back near the end involving Rose...
