When the anesthesiologist came into the room to give my epidural, he said his whole hi-my-name-is-nice-to-meet-you, "so how are we doing?" and since I was mid-contraction all I could do was to look him in the eye and say, "fuuuucccckkkkkkk." Everyone got a kick out of that. When it came time for urgent cesarean, I enjoyed some witty banter with the staff - I was running side commentary on thier discussions about how to stitch me up, making sure they put my organs back in the right spots, etc. Might as well make light of an intense situation!
"People who do this without drugs are freaking heroes"
Lol. I did no drugs and as soon as my son was out I said "I'm never fucking doing this again!!!!!"
I love that there two posts were back to back
Haha. The nurse was laughing and said "oh honey. You'll be back! You'll forget everything you went through and once he stars growing up you'll miss not having a baby. Next time, get drugs and it will be all good!"
My husband was kind of surprised by the lack of unexpected (or uncharacteristic) statements in the delivery room. I did keep saying that I was positive that I needed to poop, that's really the extent of my commentary. Funny enough tho, all of the "hilarious" comments my husband said he would say during delivery never happened...thank God. The last thing I wanted to hear were words of encouragement along the lines of "Release the kracken!" or, "Shit him out, Babe!"
Sidenote: There was no poop in the end, just a baby
I ended up having a c-section and was so nervous and shakey the doctors gave me something bia IV before the spinal to help relax me. Once it hit me i felt like i was drunk and told the nurses holding me up that after the baby was born we should all go get drinks and go dancing. My husband shook his head and laughed at me. I also told them to make sure to check and see if she was a girl cuz the nursery was painted bright pink and it would suck to have to redo it. Whatever drug that was...love it

I gave birth on all fours, with no drugs but a little nitrous oxide Mix (that was weak as hell in my opinion) to a baby who ended up stuck with shoulder distocia. He had his hand pressed up against his face and his elbow jutted out to the side. Making him huge in the birth canal and during pushing. I didn't say it, but I thought it 3,000 times. Which is deranged, because the line is deranged.... I couldn't stop repeating a line from an Alkaline Trio song in my head: "shaking like a dog shitting razor blades" because that is EXACTLY WHAT UT FELT LIKE. The ring of fire is a misnomer when baby is trying to come out the way my kid did!! More like ring of flaming, ripping Hellscape. Good thing he's gorgeous
