    I haven't even watched the whole thing yet, but seeing their scared faces before it even started is priceless!:laugh:

    Saw that just yesterday! I love the fact that they were brave enough to go through with it. Labor is rough, I was lucky since I went from 6-10 cm in less than 10 minutes and only had 7 minutes of pushing. Freaking godsend. But I ended up au naturel so I felt it all!

    Hilarious!

    I'm jealous that they got to turn it off after 2 hours though ... And they didn't have to push :smile:

    Two hours compared to what us women feel and suffer through? Plus they didn't get to puke, have back pain, or any of the other gross stuff we get to experience. But I guess it's better than nothing!

    Yep, 2 hours is nothing! I think they were brave though. At least when we did it, it had a purpose, and we got to meet our baby after it!

    My 1st labour was around 7.5 hours and I arrived at hospital 10cm dilated! Time for a quick bit of gas and air, and then pushing! 2nd was induced, 4 hours 21 mins labour, just gas and air from 8cm. Pushing was 5 mins. Ouch ouch ouch. Worth it all though :smile:

    yeah I saw that a few days ago (if it's the same video, sounds like it, don't think many men would go through with that)

    After 24 hrs of gone wrong labour followed by an emergency c-section, I think 2 hrs of that is a walk in the park..... not that I'd volunteer to do it without a real baby at the end though. I admire them for going through it though, I'm sure they'll be that much more supportive to their wives when the time comes because of it.

    *eyeroll* Give them an epidural and some pitocin, too.

    Wow...I'd love to try that just to see what you ladies go through. Nothing compared to the real thing, but at least it would be a small barometer.

    Yeah, we women can be a little smug about this from time to time... :blushing:
