    So is it sad that I was on my phone quite a bit while in labor? I wasn't in intense pain until later on so for awhile I just played games and looked up baby names to pass the time!
    No. 
    Except OP says it "hurts like hell" so that is a little sad. I'm hoping my hospital has wifi so we can watch Netflix at the beginning of labor before I have to use some pain management/coping techniques!

    THIS. It sounded to me like she was seeking OUR advice when she's surrounded by doctors. If you trust your docs that little, you should probably get to another care center. Idle chit chat is not something you do when you're in the kind of pain I've been told to expect.

    When I hurt like hell during my labors I don't think I could have even held my phone in my hand. What on earth are you doing? If you want the epidural, get it! I'm sure you'll feel much more like updating TB then …

    Oh btw I wasn't WK for her, I was just making a joke, I know it's pretty hard to read subtext on the interwebs! I used my phone as a way to cope and manage pain until it got crazy hard, then I switched to an epidural :). Also I wish I could have had Netflix, that would have definitely helped me relax!

    It is hard. though it might be even harder for me because I've reached that glorious "i'm sleeping 2 hours a night!" stage of 3T so my brain is mush at the best of times at this point.

    this post actually gave me a little laugh :)
    but in all seriousness, if you need an epidural, get one.

    Even if she's had her baby already...SERIOUSLY?! I haven't even came close to labor yet. But when I get my Braxton Hicks contractions, AND the thunder crotch going on, I immediately drop my phone on my bed and freeze up for a few seconds. And that's just my body doing the prep work! :-\

    I actually have friends that will update their labor and dilation on facebook..then post naked pictures of their newborns. O_o I thought it was weird. When I was in labor, I was nowhere near my phone..even after I got epidural.

    Send those status updates and pictures to STFU, Parents! https://www.facebook.com/STFUParents/?fref=nf 

    Love that site. She's so funny!
