    Babies are mankey wrinkley old men. and I hate that baby 'smell' people cluck on about. I especially hate any noises they make.
    However, mine will be beautiful, and I will feel it my duty to tell everyone so.

    I always hate hearing about it i'd imagine it has the same effect on women as seeing a fella get a kick in the b0ll0x has on men

    As a comedian I was watching once said...''The difference is, after a couple of years after getting kicked in the balls, I don't ever say 'you know...I would really like another kick in the balls''

    I voted "I was a baby once"

    It was at a party, and I was very, very drunk at the time. :)

    either it was a ragingly dull party for you to resort to posting on boards, or you are an unsociable fúck.

    either way it concerns me:D

Often, to minimise ripping, the doctor will actually cut her in that area to relieve the pressure. Afterwards, they sew her back up.

    Hand up who didn't know that? :)
    Who's now considering adoption? :D
    Google 'Episiotomy', but be prepared for a horror show of epic proportions. For spectacular results, click the 'Images' link.

    The worst is when the ask "who does the baby look like". What a pointless question. Unless it is noticeably hideous, it looks like all other babies of the same race - like a baby.

    That's why fathers often pick the wrong baby up from the maternity ward.

    Always hated the little stinking noise/puke/poo merchants. If I was to ever go down that road by choice adoption at the age of around three would be acceptable, or trial separation without joint custody until child becomes bearable!
    Having worked in a hotel bar for four years has only served to bolster my unshakable hatred!

    If theres any black or half caste babies reading this thread Pighead would just like to say that you lot aren't quite as hideous as the white babies. In fact some of you look quite groovy in a certain light.

    By the way is the thread title ok? Not sure whether there should be a semi-colon after "New born babies" instead of a full stop.

    *Hand goes up gingerly*

    I'm 24 and I never heard that before. Why don't they teach us this stuff in school. Can you imagine me during the delivery standing next to the future Mrs. Drift ( a magnificent specimen of a woman I can tell you - yet to actually meet her of course) and she drops a brown one as she's squeezing out Drift Jr. :eek: I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry or be sick. And thats even before she rips in two all the way to her anus .........

    On second thoughts, me and Mrs. Drift are not going to have children!

    must be the joy the little bundles of joy bring into their parents lives..... no sleep, no time to yourself, no money, no sex (can i say sex?) and a constant headache....

    Episiotomy :- First carried out in Ireland back in 19 O Splash. All those of you who think babies are ugly, well wait until you have your own. All those of you who say I will never have kids (I was one of them, with 2 now) will miss out on the most magical experience of your life watching your children being born into this world. When your kids turn 4 and they tell you, dad your a bollix, you put on weight, your hair starts to turn gray, they are still worth it.

    kids = hard work which is the most rewarding.

    Kids are beautiful in the eyes of the parents.

    But deep down, in secret, are you not just regretting every second of it??

    For the record i intend to skip the whole nightmare of children and adopt a hamster in my early thirties..

    They all look the same, no they don't look like [relative here]. People think they are cute as an evolutionary reaction to further the species.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭Maccattack


    Depends on the baby,some are cute, some are rotten
    Must be my feminine side coming to the fore but I've always had a soft spot for babies. Ive always thought they were gorgeous to look at. I'm not sure why. something about the size of their hands and stuff like that. And when they yawn and stuff.

    Yes there are some 'ugly' ones but even then most are still kinda cute.

    Maybe I'm not a real man. But thats what i think.

    There's no need to be embarrassed about it. :) I was 22 when I found out. I know a girl of 26 who only found out a few weeks ago.

    They don't tell you this stuff, probably it was bad luck or superstition or something back in the day :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 391 ✭✭Twinkle-star15


    Okay, I used to think I kind of maybe wanted kids in the long distant future, but now...

    Me= AAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!

    Thanks Drift, you've prevented any mini-me's from entering this world. Ever.

    Well thats my good deed done for the day. (and really its seamus' fault) :D On the up side now that I've turned you off the poo, blood and sweat fest thats birth it puts you the available pool of talent for Mrs. Drift ;)

    I'm sure many a man has tried to convince the doc to throw in an extra stitch or two after the "ripping" :p

    I was 22 when I first heard about Episiotomies.
    Read it in a medical journal and stormed down the stairs to my mother and demanded to know why she hadn't alerted me to this little gem.
    Her reply was "Well, I didn't want to frighten you or put you off having kids!"
    Her heart was in the right place :o

    It crosses my mind every now and then and puts an abrupt end to that monthly broody spell some gals go through!

    C- section all the way..or maybe in 8-10 years they'll have invented some lovely cuddly way to give birth that's like going on a trip to fluffy-fluffy land.
    Will worship the doctor who comes up with this!

    a stitch or ten might be more like it .... thats just what i've been told anyway

    I was a baby once.

    You were a baby once, its just the way babies look, tbh its never bothered me and never will.

    Sense of humour needed over here! Urgently!

    Neither. A colon or a dash (but ensure there is a space at either end of the dash). "colon", "either end" - strange how I've used those terms considering the recent subject matter.

    By the way, I don't see why it's so surprising that a woman would shít during labour. With all that pushing it makes perfect sense.

    women go through that "He has your eyes" thing, but allegedly this is all crap - the brain fools them into thinking this into to create familiarity and tighten the parental bond.

    Spot on. As you said, a newborn baby looks like a newborn baby. I remember when my friend's son was born. The baby's dad had ****ed off and she had met another guy subsequently. People who didn't know them presumed he was the dad and they ALL said "he has his daddy's eyes"!

    By the way I think newborn babies are cute. And I don't plan to have any.

    I've been at squillions of deliveries. The vast majority don't need episiotomies, ya big scaremongers :P

    It can be painful, but you can have an epidural/morphine/gas, which are really good.

    A lot of women poo during delivery though.

    Babies all look the same to me, I have to admit.
    I also agree that the black babies totally rock. They even give you that pouted lip look, like Arnold from "Different strokes".

    I have to say though, when you hand a new baby to it's parents for the first time, it'd bring a lump to your throat*

    *I'm not gay :P
