Whilst having my second baby I was convinced (and secretly hoping) for another girl so after pushing out babys head, I scream out to my mother and midwife "What is it?" to which my mum answered "It's a bloody head , now keep on pushing!"
Also, hubby was so embarrassed by my rather foul mouth he went and stood outside another labour suite! Well I was in pain!!

Just thought of two other things that might make you chuckle. After being pregnant for 42 weeks with first baby I woke up one night and had the most awful diarrhoea and beely ache. Without thinking I exclaimed to hubby "Were not going to that chippy again, i think the fish was bad, i've got really bad stomach ache" He then pointed out that I might be in Labour!!
He then proceeded to load me and bags into car and drive me to the DOCTORS SURGERY at "am in the morning! Who the hell would deliver my baby there?
Lol

Well with my second baby we didn't know what he was before I gave birth either...His dad wanted a boy sooooooo bad...When my son was born his dad pumped his fist in the air and yelled "YES!!! I SEE BALLS IT'S A BOY!!!" Wow was I plenty embarrassed...

Well, let's start with the fact that all the nurses left somewhere when I was almost at 7 cm, the doctor said that it would take another hour or two, so I shouldn't worry - there's plenty of time - I should lie and relax. I was on epidural which they were supposed to turn off some time before I had to push. So, everybody left and I had the epidural an hour more than I should have. So, when the nurse finally came, she said "The head is here!" and that's exactly when they turned off the epidural. My whole lower part of the body was "dead", I couldn't freaking feel anything whatsoever. So, I was unable to push as I didn't feel anything, so they cut me to get the baby out. Sorry, it's all black funny, but now it doesn't matter as the baby is the most important that you get afterwards :)

Well to start off I kept feeling like I had to poop and I was on medicine where I wasnt allowed out of bed but finally the nurse gave in and let me into the restroom.After I was done I got back in bed and I still felt like I had to poop so I was complaining and all of a sudden my water broke.Everyone in the room shut up.My husband called the nurse in and I still felt like I had to poop so she goes I will check you I dont think its a baby yet but I'll check ya.I had only been dilated to 4 cm before I went to the bathroom.When she checked me it took the pressure off so when she took her fingers away I asked her if she could put her fingers back in which made my husband chuckle.They then told me not to push yet and so when the doctor got in the room I was ready and I asked him if I could push and he said yea go ahead and then I asked how do I push.Everyone was counting for my contractions so I would know when to push and all of a sudden they all quit counting so I go is anyone gonna count which made everyone in the room laugh.Also a few seconds after I delievered her I was on the phone with my sister telling her about the baby.I believe I was on the phone when I delievered the placenta.I know I was talking to her when the doctor was sewing me up.I just hope this one I have just as much of a sense of humor.I am 34 weeks pregnant with our second.

With my second child we had a hard time of getting me to dilate. We had walked all day and then they put me on the stuff that makes your contractions come, I can't remember what it's called, and around 1:00 in the morning I was at 7 and my boyfriend and friend went out of the room to eat a little something within 10 minutes I was having the baby. The nurse went out to tell my boyfriend he told them that they must have the wrong person cause I was only 7 centimeters. They had to go and tell him three times before he came into the room and then when they finally got him in there he tried to tell me that I wasn't having the baby and that I needed to stop faking. The nurse had to show him the baby's head before he believed any of us. Right after he saw the head he fainted. He came to right when I was pushing her out and said why didn't you tell me it was time? I could have slapped him.

I was in labour for a hell of a long time, the early symptoms started on the Tuesday and I finally gave birth to my son on the Thursday morning. Well me and my husband were so relieved that he had been born safely and was doing the hugging and crying thing when the midwife said "would you like to see what it is?" We both forgot that we didn't know the sex!

I was really iritated because I kept tossing and turning because I was in so much pain and the gown kept getting twisted all around me so i took it off and threw it across the room! I finally got the epidural (at 8 cm!) and was calm and comfortable. The nurses asked me if I wanted to put some clothes back on and I said "what do you mean?" I forgot that I was lying there naked all sprawled out! I really didn't care at that point! I never did put any clothes back on!

i had gone into early labor and had to be stopped twice. the night i delivered i was having contractions, but didn't really think anything of it. i figured at the worst i would have to go to the hospital and they would stop my labor again. my hubby hadn't been sleeping well so i told him it would be ok if he took a couple of sleeping pills with a couple of beers. well, a half hour later we were off to the hospital, i was in full blown labor, and he could hardly keep his eyes open. we both got about on hour nap after the epidural, but the photos of him trying to sleep on the floor are priceless.

it wasn't funny then but is now. when i was in labor with my second daughter my epidural worked a little to good. i had to have my husband 3 nurses hold up my legs and my doc said when u feel the contraction push and i just looked at him and he said um sweetie your having a contraction push. after my first epidural failing and the on the second having your doc tell u when to push is a little funny. it just goes to show u how all labor and delivers are indeed different.

I was sitting in a bath on delivery suite (you know how those midwives are obsessed with baths in early labour!) at change of shift, and a young attractive midwife walked in and introduced herself. I vaguely remember my husband ccommenting that "its not often an attractive blonde walks in on your naked wife and you just don't care..."
I also vaguely remember (curtesy of gas and air) trying to talk to my (young) midwife, and asking if being a midwife had put her off having her own kids. It hadn't, and she asked how many we wanted My answer? "None, they're not to my taste" Don't you just love that gas and air?
