(Can someone explain where i missed the humor in this one please??)

actually what pissed me off about that one was the doctor rushed in dishevelled just in time to catch the baby and he and my hubby talked about fishing....or was it diving? I was like...HELLO!! I'm up here!!

Bloody women, always wanting to centre of attention

..and i assume the cheeky b@stard then invoiced your insurance company $10,000 for the service!

Hubby came to one pre-natal class with me and we were both hopeless when it came to the breathing exercises, we just kept laughing at each other.

He was more or less useless in the delivery room both times but just having him there was great, I think.

In the end he didn't get to see either of them born as both were emergency c-sections under general anaesthetic.

There's good news girls/ladies.
Since reading the diabolical tales of child birth (Blood guts & stitches), the men have decided to be far more caring, understanding, loving & will no longer demand sex or get annoyed when they don't get any.
Once again thank you for putting us straight or bent as the case maybe.

So that'll be vasectomies all round for the guys, eh?

Celtic_Angel

don't worry it'll be fab....when I was almost due with my first I'd get tears in my eyes imagining how emotional seeing my little one would be....it's not like that...it's like ...wow cool...a person.....awesome!

it's the most exciting thing in the world...no really ...don't expect sex right away though

Tooo late, but thats another story. I always save that story for Barbecues, especially when I see the sausages & tongs.

I was suggesting, you obviously keep your eyes open when you are diving (going down)

You've got the easy job mate! I had my son, induced (much worse than normal labour pains, to all those women out there, don't get induced!!!), with no pain relief drugs (that was my wish though) & never made a peep! Apparently this is not the norm, most women scream their heads off, because...survey says...it hurts like nothing else you can possibly imagine!

Just make sure you talk everything through with the wife first, so you know where you & she stand on certain matters. When in labour, women are a little bit mental, so the doctors may ask you what to do, you may need to be your wife's voice. Being well informed is a must & be sure to write a birthing plan & have it in her maternity notes ready for the birth day.

Was at a posh dinner party, started getting braxton hicks at very regular intervals. Thought I'd better go to the hospital, 10 mins away, contractions started as I walked down the hallway to the labor ward. Walked in, told them I'm registered for natural birthing unit, they insisted on checking me, 8cm dilated by then, I popped into the natural birthing unit, hopped on the bed, and out he popped. Student midwifey came around about 10 minutes later with the canister of gas in case I needed it (no painkillers allowed excepting for gas in there). I highly recommend it

Ah yes - Some words of wisdom there!
