Things women say while pregnant

I think they only say that on tv. It is just to make the crowd laugh. I'm sure at some point someone might have said it but I can't imagine that being the thing to say. I've had 3 kids all around 9 lbs. So if I can say it wasn't that bad then that is saying something. I'm not saying it didn't hurt, but it didn't make me want to yell at my husband for it lol. I actually felt a little bad for him. He looked so scared seeing me in pain. I guess if someone would say that it would be because they were in a lot of pain and they figure they have to blame someone and since their husbands help get them that way they take it out on them.

Yeah we do say things like that. People in pain often have to blame someone or something for the cause. It's a stress reliever. The beauty of delivery room blame is that is REALLY IS THE MAN'S FAULT for our being in such incredible pain, and no self respecting woman is going to let her man off the hook for that one! LOL

Hi, somecowgirl. I think when some women are suffering from the contraction pain (it must be very painful), they tend to say something unconsciously. I know some women will say "i don't want to give birth anymore" those kind of statements. But i think they don't really mean it, it is just kind of expressions of them at that time. I'm nervous about the pain too as my due date is coming soon, it's just one more week left. Oh.... i haven't prepared for it yet!!!!

When I gave birth to my daughter Nicole,I haven't tried saying those kind of lines. Pregnancy is a gift.It is a blessing. Those lines are just from movies. In real life, instead of saying those"words",better get relax since you are about to give birth.Pray for your safe delivery.

Yes, the pain is really bad, but not bad enough that I would say something like that. I never lost sight of the fact that I was about to have a beautiful little baby, even when the pain was at its worst. I think it all depends on how people think about what they're doing. If all they can focus on is the pain to the point of forgetting what they're going through it for, they'd probably be more likely to say something like that. Plus, I guess a lot probably also depends on a person's underlying personality. I can't imagine ever saying something like that to my husband for any reason, so I know I would not say it even in horribly painful childbirth. I also think that movies and tv portray childbirth, as they do everything else, with a little extra drama!

me too, i never said anything bad about the hardship of giving birth against my husband, maybe because he has been very supportive of my pregnancy which made me feel that he really wanted to lessen my burden. perhaps those mothers saying those things were the ones whose behalf were not that too supportive, i guess....
