I waited so long to take the epidural, and had some complications during labor, I was literally peeling paint from the walls, and rocking back and forth in the bed chanting to myself waiting for the anesthesiologist. Not my best look, I'm sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515696 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 04:24:57 +0000 oahujeni 515696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once I had the epi the pressure of the baby made me feel like I had to poop (which I was terrified of actually doing), so when I was pushing I was holding back a little and told my midwife I was afraid the baby was coming out of the wrong end. She just laughed and assured me that it was physically impossible, although in the moment I wasnt thinking straight and was sure it was going to happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515647 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 01:58:15 +0000 sera_87 515647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i kept my pants on until I couldn't anymore. The nurses teased me saying if I wanted to have a baby I'd have to take them off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515645 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 01:56:57 +0000 wheres_c 515645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prejectile vomited all over my man.....oops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515620 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 00:57:02 +0000 MaisyMay 515620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ignored everybody. I told DH afterwards that I couldn't figure out if they were talking to me or not, so I just wouldn't talk to anybody.</p> <p>I guess I was funnier with the morphine. I was pretty zoned out, trying to sleep, but kept waking up to make comments on the movie that my IL's, mom, and DH were watching. When they were done with the movie, I told them all to leave and get dinner. It was mostly so that I could sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515580 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:52:04 +0000 skibobrown 515580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People in my delivery room seemed to think I was rather funny during my labor too. </p> <p>- I was insistent throughout the entire time that DH and my sister find me a real Italian sub for me to eat after I delivered, and I was annoyed that all they kept turning up in yelp searches was Subway.</p> <p>- Right at the very end of pushing, the doctor asked me if we had a name for the baby, and I yelled out "yes, but *not* telling until she is born!"</p> <p>- I didn't believe my husband and the doula when they told me after a couple of pushes that they could see the baby's hair. I laughed at them and told them they were lying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515550 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:09:03 +0000 runsyellowlites 515550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: Ouch! DH poured water over my belly through contractions (since I couldn't get fully submerged) and THAT'S what felt amazing. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515546 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:05:40 +0000 jedeve 515546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: haha. My anesthesiologist kept talking about how it was so good I was trying to sleep between contractions. Annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515545 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:04:47 +0000 jedeve 515545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: jealous! I was so excited about the tub, but I had back labor and kept getting on all fours to get through the contractions. Which totally defeated the point of a tub! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515540 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:02:20 +0000 runsyellowlites 515540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I blissfully told DH "This feels AHHHHHHHHMAZING" when I got into the tub... I also told my mom this and my MW assistant when she came and checked on me.</p> <p>I told my mom I didn't need clothes when we decided to transfer to the hospital.</p> <p>When we got to the hospital where I was an automatic cesarean I IMMEDIATELY told the nurses "Give me something for pain, I don't need to feel these anymore!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515537 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:00:31 +0000 PrincessBaby 515537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slept through most of my labor bc I couldn't feel anything and they had to wake me up to push- so we laugh about how I was the only one that got any sleep:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515527 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:56:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 515527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm...I was pretty silent through most of my L&amp;D, but I did tell the anesthesiologist that I loved her and asked her to marry me after she placed my epidural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-from-your-labor#post-515522 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:52:32 +0000 jedeve 515522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I projectile vomited several times during labor. Once on my doula, once on my husband, and once on the nurse. Not gonna lie, vomiting on the nurse was a little satisfying. </p> <p>My midwife kept tellin me to push harder. I yelled back, "you push harder!" next contraction. </p> <p>My husband told me he loved me. I told him I didn't care and to stop smiling. I also told him to go brush his teeth. </p> <p>Did you do/say anything funny? </p>
