    1. Tried getting in a fight with SO (stadol whacked me out) lol
    2. Cried out of boredom
    3. Kept walking and going to the bathroom without permission. Lol
    4. Bounced on the birthing ball instead of rocking my hips! Lol. (My step mom even has a recording of this)

    I just remember being so thirsty that I was about to have a panic attack because I was SO thirsty. I got to the hospital around lunch time and had been busy at work the morning of, so I hadn't had any breakfast or even anything to drink since about 5pm the night before. I was in labor for over 24 hours and wasn't allowed anything at all to eat or drink the whole time.

    I asked the midwife if I had pooped while I was in the middle of pushing.

    While pushing I threw up. A lot. The first explosion of puke caught me off gaurd and I put my hand to my mouth to stop it I guess, but all that did was direct it upwards so I puked in my own eyes and hair. Sweet

    I was in the hospital for 48 hours for my induction, so I did many funny things. My favorite is this: I had been pushing for about 45 minutes and knew baby was nearly here. The room was full of people - doctor, midwife, two nurses,observing intern and 4 nicu staff (meconium in fluid) plus my husband. When the doctor announced that she was here, my response was "Kick ass!". Really loud. With a fist pump. There was much giggling...

    Induction was to start at around midnight. I sent my husband home to sleep and handled the first few hours of labor on my own. I called him around five.

    I labored at home throughout the night and ended up getting to the hospital crowning. LO was born 15 minutes after we pulled in. It went so fast, all I could say after he came out was "Holy Sh**, Holy Sh**." Not exactly my most eloquent moment ha!

    @MrsTiz: That really sucks they wouldn't let you drink! I remember while pushing I was SOOOOO thirsty! I gulped whole glasses of water between pushes and kept asking for more.

    I peed on DH.
    My catheter came out just before surgery (emergency c-section.) DH was holding my hand telling me everything would be OK and all of a sudden his shirt was soaking wet.
    We had to delay the surgery for a couple minutes because he was no longer sterile enough to come in the OR.

    I don't remember doing anything crazy. I was extremely quiet... ended with a cs so no crazy pushing stories either. Booooo!

    Contractions started on the Tuesday, midwife broke my waters on the Saturday & while pushing and under the influence of ethonox and sleep deprivation, I remember talking to my husband about how to cut up veal. Wtf?
