Funny Labor Stories?

After I got my epidural I fell straight asleep. After waking up about 2-3 hours later. Nurses and midwife suggested me to lay on my side with one leg over the other.. After they did one side they did the other. As I was laying on my left side.. I fell asleep.. I woke up to some farting noise. I thought I was my husband because he was sleeping in the pull out chair.. Which is like leather material.. So I was throwing pillows at him.. Trying to wake him up to stop farting.. Then I kept hearing it.. I was thinking what the heak is that noise.. Then my nurse came in and said its normal for you to pass gas.. I was stunned.. That It was me.. Hahah. Idk why I didn't think it was me.

    DH has really bad anxiety, while I was pushing his routine was to hold my leg, set my leg down, grab a sip of water, then sit down. He basically did this the whole hour and a half I was actively pushing. At one time I looked over at him and asked if he was ok and if there was anything I could do. Then remembered that I was in labor and he should have been asking me that question! I think everyone was thinking he would pass out at some point. Dh also kept saying he wouldn't cut the cord even though I really wanted him to. Well my doc basically wouldn't take no for an answer and forced him to cut it!

    Our friends announced to us they were pregnant and took a video. I was really out of it and told my friend to get the epidural. lol

    I was out of it for a little while after I got my epidural and my husband told me I told him that B.J. Novak from The Office is in Inglourious Basterds.

    I don't remember this at all. It cracks me up at how random it is.

    I had to have my water broken, and be induced due to a complication but during my labor. I was in the middle of a contraction and the nurse told us to call when I was feeling pressure so we did. The lady on the intercom ask "what can I get for you?" My husband, the comedian he is says "yeah a pizza!" I was trying to stop laughing cause it hurt more when I did. He was trying to help me get through my contractions.

    I had a 60 hour labour with forced induction so quite a few.......

    First while being induced on gas and air I text my husband at 3am and asked him to bring me pizza, which bless him he tried to do! When he got to the hospital I asked him what he was doing there (stood with milk and crisps just like I had ordered!) :-p

    I work in a corporate environment so am used to tackling things head on, me and the midwife did not gel at all... She shook my hand like a wet fish and said im going to deliver your baby...... After a few issues with her nearly busting my arm off with blood pressure machines and making 6 incisions for a drip I ripped all the equipment off me - I was 4cm just waiting for the epidural and suggested we have a meeting to work out how we could "work together" to get this baby out! Thankfully they swapped midwife's who was much better.

    I had been pushing for 3 hours and we started thinking he wasn't going to come out, when he finally crowned the nurse called the Dr and I told her to tell her to hurry. The nurse was doing something in the corner of the room and it felt like my baby was going back inside so I said something. My husband checked and he was coming out! The nurse called for help and had to hurry and deliver him by herself! She kept apologizing and I thought it was hilarious. I was too scared to hold my baby because I was laughing so hard! He was born 4 minutes after we called the Dr.

    The team of nurses and doctors for my csection were awesome! They were having conversations and teasing each other, and it really made it a very light and easy going atmosphere. At one point they were talking about a liquor store in Delaware that's bigger than any I've ever seen! (Anyone who lives in PA knows how dumb our alcohol purchasing laws are) So there I am with a gaping hole in my abdomen and my ob elbow deep in my uterus and all I say is "mmmm wine!"

    I have a couple.
    After I got the epidural and catheter, I had no idea that I wouldn't be able to feel myself peeing or farting. My brother came to visit while I was laboring and he commented on how much I peed and I didn't believe him. I also farted while I was dozing off, and scared myself hahaha.

    When it was finally time to push, my right leg was completely numb, so I had to have my mom pull it up to me so I could push. I'd get a contraction and have to ask for help grabbing my legs because I couldn't move them lol.

    When LO started crowning, the doctor was so excited about how much hair he had, so she pulled out the birthing mirror so I can look and see his hair. I closed my eyes and said I didn't want to look.
    Also, when I was pushing, I could feel his shoulders rotating. It hurt so bad that I started telling the doctor that I couldn't do it anymore, I just wanted to stop pushing. I have no idea why I thought that was even than option, he was already almost out.
