Hellobee Boards

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.

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

No, the TV in the L&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.

@artbee - HAHA you just gave me a huge laugh.

@mediagirl: @MrsBrewer: Luckily it was recording at home

At home we were watching the Ken Burns National Park series (but it was making me all weepy). No TV during our hospital stay.

@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.

@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.

and @FutureMrsMcK: High five to you, back-labour sister!
