Watching A Baby Story was a mistake

hollerjeepgirl · November 2010

I just saw an episode where a lady was naked in front of all of her family. That would disturb me and I would die right there of embarrassment. She obviously didn't care and was walking around naked lol. She did a water birth and as soon as her daughter popped out I screamed "F*** that!" involuntarily. Ahhh now I'm scared to have this baby!!!

I just watched it too! There were random men too that didn't even seem necessarily related. When I had DS, it was me, my mw, a nurse & DH. That's it. My Mom came in a little earlier than I would have liked when I was delivering the placenta and they were stitching up a few minor labial tears I got and instead of discretely walking past and coming up near my head to meet DS/see me, she started asking about the bleeding, and watching them, etc. DH and I were both a little uncomfortable with that. Needless to say, this time I will have no visitors, including my Mom until I'm completely done and covered up! Considering she also kind of plowed into DH, pushing him aside to meet her grandson, I think we'll wait till we're admitted into a regular room even.

Eeeww, it kills me when I watch that show and the like 2 year old older brother/sister is in the delivery room like Tongue Tied Ugh I just feel like watching your mother go through labor might be emotionally scarring.

P.S. every time I read one of your post, I just feel so bad for you cuz I know that you're sitting in that hospital room, just killing time, you must be a really strong person!

Sorry for the double post, TB is messing with me..

Watching it while I was eating lunch too was an epicfail

My mom always gets mad at me when I watch that because it makes me more scared than I already am to give birth. And the water births gross me out anyway (no offense to anyone choosing that route, juust not my thing), but to have everyone watching? Negative.

Lol! I just laughed really loud!! It blows but it's really worth it, especially after seeing how long I've been here. I really don't want to ever have kids after this though, it ruined the whole experience.

I agree, it's just too weird for me. The baby just kinda...flows out. I think I'm a pregnant masochist though because if it's on at an interesting part of the show I have to watch it

Yep same here. I'm just not sure how I feel about floating around in my own fluids for any length of time.

I agree with water births grossing me out. Especially when the husband/baby daddy gets in there with her. Ew. Not only are you sitting in that nastiness, but your husband is too?

Also why do you need to be completely naked? You can't wear a tank top/bra/nursing bra/bikini top? You don't need your boobies hanging out everywhere.

I cringe whenever I see the pregnant woman's dad in the delivery room too, even if they're not naked or doing a water birth. Sorry, but I don't want my dad seeing what's going on down there. He can come visit after the baby is born and I'm stitched up and stuff. Just awkward and weird to me.

Ok ive not watched this episode yet, and i have not seen a water birth at all.. not sure i want to, and with that said... how awkward to have a bunch of random people in to watch you give birth naked?? just weird. And i agree my dad would never be considered to be one of people in the room with me. just not right.

that's why the birth of your child should not be a freakin family reunion. I just don't get some people.

I agree.

I did not want my mom or anyone else in the delivery room with DS. My Mom knew when I went in and I told her I would call her when I was ready for visitors. When it ended in a c section I called her. She and my sister were there before I was wheeled into the recovery room. As soon as my older sister knew I was settled and covered the nurses no longer could keep her out. She had to make sure I was OK which was very sweet. I am glad that I no longer have to deal with the whole "who will be with you" They let my husband in. That's it. This time I am not even eager to see anyone right away. I want to see my daughter and son and husband and thats it for the first day.
