I spent all day today checking in periodically until I got through all 10 pages. What a hilarious thread!

Mine weren't any funny moments, but in my son's birth (induction), I kept saying to my husband "oh god, make this stop" to which he replied "I can't, what do you want me to do?" - it wasn't until after the fact that I told him how useless he was and that was the last thing I needed to hear.

I remember yelling when a contraction would start "oh god not another" followed by a long "ooooooowwwwwwww" MW would say "just breath" - I snapped back "breathing doesn't make it hurt less".....poor bugger. When the epidural started working, she smiled at me and said "so we have nice Chris back do we"......

Once I was pushing - completely numb from the epidural - DH was rubbing my leg and telling me how good I was doing - I just looked at him and said "for starters, I can't feel a thing so don't bother, secondly, the verbal encouragement would have been better suited earlier when I was in pain - not now".......poor bugger. He did well under the circumstances.

I'm due again at any time with our second baby and have put him through the ringer to be a better support this time - we'll see what happens!
