It just happened to be right when Masterchef was starting so it was perfect! Watched the episode then turned the tv off again. I read my book and/or slept the rest of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298671 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:30:22 +0000 lovehoneybee 298671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: Ha, definitely a benchmark for all future pains! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298669 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:28:38 +0000 lavender 298669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the news and the Today show on while I was laboring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298661 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:23:19 +0000 cvbee 298661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: not strong, just too fast in labour...and a bit shy...for the first couple hours when the nurse asked how I was I'd say fine....and I'd wait til between contractions to go out and talk to her. No one (myself included) thought I would progress so fast, so by the time I was so obviously in over my head in pain, it was too late for an epidural. </p> <p>and @FutureMrsMcK: High five to you, back-labour sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298656 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:20:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 298656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: Med free with back labor, youch. You're a stronger woman than me...I had back labor and was BEGGING for the epidural by the time I hit 5cm. But it wore off twice, the second time an hour and a half into pushing...compared to the back pain, I don't remember feeling a ring of fire at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298648 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:15:55 +0000 cvbee 298648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: exactly! It made me laugh. I had been afraid of the ring of fire all this time too. And then, get this: I did not feel a ring of fire. (med free) I think compared to the back labour the ring of fire is not so bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298647 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:14:36 +0000 heffalump 298647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Young and the Restless. I got addicted to it while doing an internship in college, everybody that worked there watched it and you weren't cool unless you did too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298643 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:11:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 298643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: I love The Simpsons!<br /> @artbee: Haha what soap was it?<br /> @cvbee: I love Ellen! And Disco Inferno...gives new weight to the "ring of fire", no? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298627 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:59:49 +0000 Mrsbells 298627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced so the tv was on all day, I just remember being super hungry and all the food commercials were just killing me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298616 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:55:33 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 298616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At home we were watching the Ken Burns National Park series (but it was making me all weepy). No TV during our hospital stay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298600 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:49:26 +0000 runsyellowlites 298600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope... I had music on the whole time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298594 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:47:35 +0000 heffalump 298594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @MrsBrewer: Luckily it was recording at home :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298577 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:42:18 +0000 MrsBrewer 298577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: That is too funny!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298576 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:41:58 +0000 mediagirl 298576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, the TV in the L&amp;D room was acting up and was really loud, even when we turned the volume all the day down. I had told my husband he could turn it on to give him something to do. He turned it off and just played on his phone. We weren't in the labor room long before I started pushing, though. </p> <p>@artbee - HAHA you just gave me a huge laugh. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298574 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:40:43 +0000 cvbee 298574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure did! I started with Ellen and finished with Glee!!!!! (It was the disco Glee episode and I crowned during Disco Inferno ,which I found amusing. Oh, and in early labour with Ellen I loved dancing around with her. ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298571 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:40:11 +0000 heffalump 298571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When the doctor came in to check me I was watching my favorite soap, so I wasn't really paying much attention to her. Then all of a sudden I hear, "You're 10 centimeters, time to push!" And I was like, "But my soap is on and there's still a half hour left!" They turned the TV off :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298570 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:39:21 +0000 matador84 298570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not during l &amp; d because it was so<br /> Late at night!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298564 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:37:58 +0000 Honeybee 298564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, after DD was born, the doctor commented that he had never delivered a baby during The Simpsons before! I had the tv on both times, but remembered to turn it off before I started pushing with DS. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-the-tv-on-in-during-your-lampd#post-298559 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:36:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 298559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! He was born during the Olympics, and I have a very vague recollection of occasionally looking up when I was between pushes and seeing the Water Polo competitions!</p> <p>Did you have the TV on the delivery room? Do you remember what was on, and did you watch at all? </p>
