I had a scheduled cesarean, so I don't know how you ladies feel. I do, however, think some of you ladies might get a kick out of the idea of your husband's feeling your pain.

Re: simulated labor for men
No drugs until you get to at least 5cm honey. Here, have some ice chips.
Is that the norm? I got my epidural when I was stuck at 3 cm (granted, I also had severe back/hip pain and zero pain tolerance).
They like to hold off until then, because they worry the drugs will wear off by show time.
