All the way through the labour DP was talking quietly to me & I couldn't understand a word he was saying ... just could see his mouth moving ... nothing else mattered to me. All I was interested in was what the midwife was saying to me.
Infact I felt slightly ticked off cause he looked so calm (I secretly must have wanted to see him suffer in some way) ... Anyway, moments before our daughter entered the world I said to him in the politest & kindest way I could as I realised this was his big day too ... " Coouldd yooouu pleeassse NOT talk so much "
Which was hysterical to him as those that know me, know that I talk alot ... and DP is known to be reserved, a bit shy & quitely spoken. Under normal circumstances I would never have said it to him
(He too held the bucket for me when I vomited in transition ... that was no# 1 in my book ... true love there)
Though he chickened out in cutting the cord & I ended up doing it ... yeh, my body was in shock from a quick birth ... I can tell you I was a dangerous woman with those scissors shaking away !!!
