    It's a bit late for freaking out. Should you have not done that 9 months ago? :)

    Go to the hospital.

    Stay up north.
    Do not go down south to have a look.
    It's like watching your favourite pub burning down.

    If she poops while she's giving birth, never ever mention it again. She'll love you for it.

    And if she gets stitches, don't tell them to stitch her up nice and tight, that won't go down well.

    Other than that, wait for baby to be born, let her rest as much as you can and I bet you cry when it comes out :)

    Probably should go to the hospital and then proceed to be a good dad for the rest of your life.

    Also, congratulations!

    Yeah cause pushing a person through a vagina isn't effort... and I had a Hemorrhoid and it exploded during childbirth. I needed forceps, (think salad tongs but way bigger) I needed stitches from my vagina to my arse.

    So to answer your question sir, I shall go on about it FOREVER

    I thought it was a piece of cake, and that was with a split pelvis


    :cool: :pac:

    I had SPD and they forgot and put my legs in stirrups during the birth. Couldn't walk for weeks AND my sons heartbeat dropped and there was no free theatre so they used her hand to try and stretch me and I was only 8cm and then forceps. Nightmare on elm street. Then she pulled out the placenta and it snapped and splattered everything, all over me. Like a scene for a horror movies.

    So, no it wasn't easy!!!

    Sounds like you delivered a wheelbarrow.

    I'm so happy I ruined it for you, does that make me a bad person??!!

    Maybe OP has hit the gas and air to get through this wonderful time!

    My vagina looked like a delivered a wheelbarrow.

    I could still beat you in the 'my labour was worse than yours' battle that crazy mothers do.

    But it's pointless. The point is, it's worth it, women do it all over the world and it's what we're made to do.

    So good luck to your girlfriend OP, when the baby is out she won't even remember the pain and you'll feel closer to her than ever :)

    Yes very true! You're right though, totally worth it! AND I would do it again :D

    Parenthood is the best. All jokes aside.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,096 ✭✭✭Reiketsu


    My labour seems like a walk in the park compared to the stories here :pac:. Induced at 10:30am, baby by 7pm. A few stitches and didnt even feel like I'd given birth at all the next morning. No pain downstairs at all, hardly even noticed the stitches either.

    Hahaha at the not remembering the pain ........ I will never ever ever forget the pain! I didn't forget it five minutes afterwards, I still haven't forgotten it seven months afterwards. I'm not saying I'd never go again, but I'll be asking to be put under sedation and heavy pain relief from the moment I get a positive pregnancy test next time around.

    Some women have medically horrible births and are grand, some women have medically normal births and find them horrendous. I was a bit of both - the birth - while no emergency situation - wasn't exactly straightforward, there were various interventions and inadequate pain relief, and it was extremely painful.

    I'll go through labour again, but on my own terms. Couldn't go through that horrificness again. No way.


  • Registered Users Posts: 130 ✭✭jelenka


    Some horrific stories, I count myself lucky -induced 16.15 delivered 16.45 :-P
    Op, good luck to you and your girlfriend.

    I hope it's not like Francine Smith who has a scar on her perineum ("tore from [her] V to [her] A") from Steve's birth
