    I keep messing this up! The lady who said the doctors were telling her to wait a few more minutes!!!! Oh please!! I was told that too, and then the nurses were in a corner asking each other how they were going to keep me from pushing..I guess they thought I was deaf. Anyway, when I told my husband he was going to have to deliver the baby, one of the nurses finally said "oh go ahead and push." The doctor showed up about 10 minutes later. Sorry doc!!!

    :laugh: I am dying laughing at all of these posts!!!!

    Things happened so fast with my second that I wasn't able to get the epidural in time. I had this sudden excruciating pain, worse than contractions that I assume was my son crowning. I screamed, 'It hurts so bad!" The nurse asked me where, and I said, "Everywhere!" After that, I just remember them telling me to push, but all I could feel was the ring of fire (as somebody else described it). I just kept screaming, "Get him out! Get him out! I want him out now!" I was one of those women that probably scared all of the other women on the floor. They told me to push, but I didn't want to push. I just wanted them to reach in, grab him, and pull him out!!!!!

    I don't remember anything else funny, necessarily, just that I had asked my nurse if I could have my epidural before all the other women since I was being so nice. She agreed, but looking back, I wish I hadn't been so nice seeing as how the reason I didn't get my epidural in time was because they couldn't find a vein and refused to try the veins I had REPEATEDLY told them would work in my left arm. I think I was stuck over 10 times before they listened to me.

    OMG too many funny posts to quote! Good read ladies. I surprised myself with how calm I was for my son's labor and delivery. Epidurals rock.

    My husband had the classic line. After my son was born, he said ''Holy ****, look at that placenta!'' Not the baby, not his own flesh and blood, but the placenta. I married a winner.

    I had my son naturally and was very calm I remember I yelled once and the nurse said "it's ok", I replied "yeah, you're right, sorry." and that was it. My husband says its the sweetest I've ever been lol. I had to focus! No time for antics!

    The 2nd I died (long story) and had an emergency C-section. When I woke up, I asked my husband where the baby was and he said in the nursery.. I asked if he was sure it was her and he said "she's the only pale one" lol. She was born in Italy... we are pale in comparison

    With my first son (I was 18) I was crying during labor saying "I'm never going to have sex EVER again as long as I live!!!"

    Mine was right after labor/emergency C-section.
    They wheeled us back into my room and asked if I'd like anything to drink. After two days of labor, I wanted apple juice. They told me to take it slow, then handed me a half gallon cup of apple juice. I drank it down pretty quickly, and ... it came back up.

    I looked my family dead in the face and said "IT STILL TASTES LIKE APPLE JUICE."

    with my youngest, she was 2.5 months early and had a prolapsed cord so had an emergency cesarean. I was scared and it came out as anger. I was soooo mad at my husband for being excited about our baby being born, I repeatedly yelled at him. Then the DR suggested I listen to music during the delivery and I yelled at him and told him I didn't need any f**** music. He ignored me and ran to his car and grabbed the first CD he had, and it was Green Day. My daughter was born to American Idiot. She was fine and is now a happy 6 yr old

    "Ok I change my mind, I don't think this is the right time to have a baby. Lets go home."

    Mine was very similar. I was induced but nothing was happening. I was almost going to be sent home, which I did not want! All of a sudden my water broke and shortly after, all the 'fun" began. I said..." UGh. I changed my mind. I don't want to do this right now..." wahhhh!

    I know this is for the Moms, but dammit, I was there, too....

    My youngest was a planned c-section. I don't know if this is just standard practice, but they put up a curtain so they could do what they were doing and my wife and I couldn't see. When they pulled out the baby, though, I was invited to look beyond the veil and see my baby boy. This was our 4th child, so the awe and wander was slightly diminished. I said to my Latina wife, "um...baby. Why does our son have red hair?" To which she responded, before I could say I was kidding, "Oh *kitten*. Are you sure it's mine?"
    That's just one of the reasons I love her.

    I don't recall saying anything with my first, but after my 2nd, which was a c-section, I was a little goofy with the morphine. They were moving me from the operating table to the bed, and I said, "This is kinda fun!" :smile:

    Cant remember everything that I said anymore.. But I do recall I freaked everyone out in the room since I was cracking jokes between every contraction (I wanted to cry during every contraction but all I could manage through the moans of pain was a lip quiver)

    I do remember wondering out loud (talking to myself before I got the epidural) if I would feel it if they stabbed me in the back with a butcher knife during a contraction.. The wierd looks I got from everyone in the room was funny, I guess the strangest stuff pop into my head sometimes :)

    Nurse came in and introduced herself, name was Buffy. I spent the next 10 minutes complaining to husband that I had a vampire slayer for a nurse. Staydol was an interesting drug. O_o

    I did the same thing. My water broke at my apartment. My mom and granny were there helping me set up the nursery.
    I was going into pre-term labor, mind you. Once the contractions hit, I looked at my mom and said, "I don't want to have a baby anymore."

    Then at the hospital, in labor, I wanted to hold people's fingers during my contractions. Not their hand, just 2 fingers. And I would squeeze really hard and count. Or I would yell at them for giving me their whole hand instead of just 2 fingers like I demanded.
    I wasn't even on drugs. LOL

    "Please tell me my water broke, otherwise I feel kinda awkward for peeing my pants in public in my 20s."

    From the time I walked from the check in desk to the hospital room 20 feet away, my pants were soaked to my ankles.

    After 2 hours of pushing (because mine was sideways and turned every time I pushed), "I'm finished pushing. You want this baby out, you can cut me open."

    After I delivered, the doctor made a comment. I misheard him and thought he said there was another. Twins run on both sides of my family. They found out I was a twin after my mom delivered me and another water broke. "Oh my effing god, there's another one?! Effmy life." First time my child was exposed to the f word was 2 minutes after birth.

    with my third, I had no drugs. I was fully dilated and waiting for the Doc to arrive and started cursing him that he wasn't there yet. When he walked in, i cried out "oh, thank god! I love you! now come on!"
    After pushing out the head, the nurses all shout to me to stop pushing so they can suction. My response is (almost in tears) "you want me to WHAT?!?! I can't keep that *kitten* in there!"

    and to alecia.. had Staydol with my first. Swore it off with the other two - too stoned feeling. I felt great at the time. My father-in-law was laughing at how i kept saying how great i felt and rubbing my nose. don't remember much of that one, which is probably good seeing as i almost bled out. :ohwell:

    When my CNM asked if I wanted a mirror to watch her being born I said "oh hell no" while making a disgusted face. Everyone in the room cracked up laughing but me.

    omg what a way to welcome the baby to the world LOOOL

    I had an epidural, but didn't get colorful :( I do remember saying "Oh God please just get the baby out, I don't care how you do it! I'm so tired I just want to go back home and sleep!" He was a normal delivery however lol.

    I don't think I said anything fun. But when I went into labor with my second son, my oldest, who was only five at the time told everyone he saw that day. It scared him when my water pipe burst. Lol

    I have three children and I had them all natural with no pain meds and only in labour for eight hours in total with all three. I did however with my first one scream mummy just as my mom walked in the room. LOL
    I am now a trained Volunteer Doula and looking forward to assisting moms to be with the delivery of their wee bundles of joy.
