  For my second, I was induced. We had been admitted and I was all hooked up to everything. I wasn’t feeling any contractions, so I asked to sit on the exercise ball to hopefully get things moving. At one point I went to adjust myself on the ball and fell straight back. I got yo so quickly, before the nurses even made it in the room 😂. I was so embarrassed, and the nurses were so worried I had hurt myself, but i really was fine. My dr and main nurse came in shortly after that and both suggested I stay off of the ball so I didn’t fall again and risk being labeled as a fall risk patient! My husband just had a look of disbelief the whole time but I could tell he was trying not to burst out laughing

  I had a c-section for my first pregnancy and while DH was getting ready to cut the cord the nurse commented on how strong it was. DH responded with, “must’ve been all the Oreos she ate.”  Thanks for ratting me out , DH. HA!

  I had an unplanned c-section. It was 3 in the morning and I was scared. My anesthesiologist told me and DH this story about how he dated our nurse in high school and took her to prom. He went on and on about how many cats she had now and how he still wishes he could have married her. I found out later he was full of shit and messes with the nurse all the time, but he was seriously the most calming part of my experience.

  So mine is embarrassing but when I got my epidural, DH and the nurse had to turn me on my side and I farted really loud. Since I couldn't feel anything, I thought it was my DH 😂 After the nurse left the room, I was like dang what was that?! When I found out it was me, he was laughing so hard I told the nurse to kick him out of the room, jokingly of course. He still makes fun of me for it.

  By the time I got to 9cm my epidural had worn off (my labour stalled after getting it so it took forever to get that far) and I experienced the “ring of fire” au natural. I was screaming I can’t do this, I can’t do it! And DH was super silent, he told me afterwards the entire time I was screaming all he could think was “I see the baby’s head, you’re doing it alright” but the nurse didn’t say anything and he didn’t want to ruin my momentum by telling me.
  
  I always laugh when I relive it, me screaming like a psycho that I can’t do it while he’s totally frozen watching the baby come out.

  After DD was born (ECS) SO went with her so I didn't get to see her until she was all cleaned up and swaddled. SO brought her back in to show to me. They way they had her swaddled had sort of squished her all together so the first thing I said when I saw her was "She has so many chins!".

  I was being induced at 39 weeks.  The doctor said "judging by the monitor you are about two cm dilated. I am going to check the patient across the hall, then I'll go into the office.  I'll be back around 2 and we will decide what to do from there."  I started texting my dad, telling him to go into work because there was no way this baby was coming before five pm.
  
  The doctor comes back and says "I think I should check you, just in case the monitor is wrong."  He then checks me, looks at my husband and said, "suit up, we are going to the OR, the baby just grabbed my finger."
  
  And that is how I ended up in an emergency c-section.
