    With Emma my first I was alone in the hospital when my waters broke as i had been in for a week with high BP. I told them to phone my MUm and hubby, the midwife asked me if i was sure, i would still be a long time and it was 3 in the morning. I told her to ring my Mum NOW every minute i kept yelling at them to ring my MUm i didnt stop till hubby and MUm came in the door. My labour was 4 hours .

    With Hamish i was in the shower at the hospital and all had left to have breaks etc, hubby was just outside the room updating family, when Hamish stated to crown, i yelled out DOES ANYONE WORK HERE, lol and help me oh please help me. I had a 40 minute labour

    With Lachlan i was in the shower again, i turned it off , it annoyed me and i told everyone that it did so, Mum arrived when i was getting out, she looked at hubby and said another quick one, he said yep. The midwife looked at them and said how fast was the last, when we said 40 minutes she bolted out the room. LOL they were not ready for me to have a baby.
    The dr came in and asked me to get on the bed, i looked at her and said your kidding.
    during transition the midwife said to me , baby is coming. I said back I think i know. My MUm laughed, i also said to mum an hubby why did i choose the natural side i should have gone to the side with the drugs. LOL i had a 55 minute labour.

    OMG! Me too! I do occasionally swear IRL, and during the pushing stage I was saying things like "Ouch, that hurts!".

    Plus, I said bottom, not bum, because I didn't want my OB to think I had a potty mouth!

    I didn't swear at all with DD1.

    I remember with DD1 a MW stuck her head in at the end of a push when the contraction wasn't quite over & I screamed out 'Oooh fuuuuuuuu*!!!'
    She said is everything OK? I was thinking I'm giving birth you twit! What do you expect??
    That I say calmly - Well thats a tad uncomfortable.
