worst thing

Say? How about this - my ex-husband kicked the bed i was on when i was in labor with my second child...and that's just one of the reasons why i divorced him. Whatever crap a man says to a laboring woman can be dealt with by saying something back. Don't think "Why are you being mean to me?"...just say it...say something back! Now once a man does something physically while a woman is in labor is a whole different case. I hate being disrespected and any form of abuse is something i can never tolerate.

Well when I was in labor with my first child, my husband was not very perceptive. It wasn't that he said anything to me, but everything annoyed me to no end. I was starving because I had had an early doctors appointment, so i had eaten half a bagel early in the morning. After my appointment the doctor sent me straight to the hospital. My stupid husband had the nerve to order chinese food to be delivered to my hospital room. Knowing I couldn't eat any he asked me if I wanted some, and then proceeded to eat it in front of me. I had to kick him out of my room before I cussed him out.

We were just four hours away from our 1st year anniversary and the man had the nerve to tell me to hold it to midnight. Grr.

My husband had two bloopers: 1. When I felt that I am already in labor with my second son, I told him he needed to get the car out of the garage while I prepare the big bag and change my clothes. When I came out of our room, he was still in front of the TV. I called out that we need to go and he had the gall to reply back, "Wait! There's a new McDonald's commercial on TV!" 2. This one was told to me by my doctor after I gave birth. I no longer remember what happened inside the D.R. thanks to the awful pain. My doctor was laughing when she told me that while I was already moaning, crying and shouting in pain on the delivery table, my hubby was trying to shush me and saying, "Stop screaming Mom, the doctor might do a caesarian section on you and we don't have the money to pay for that!" LOL, I'm happy to report that now, 14 years later, we can already laugh about it and I no longer have the urge to strangle him :p

* I'll wait outside the room until the baby is out* * Your belly is really ugly honey* Thank God my husband was very supportive. He was not a jerk. But there statements were told to one of my good friend's husband as soon as baby was out;and the other by my sister-in-law husband.

My husband, who was sleeping at the time I went into labor, refused to wake up for me. I told him that I thought I was in full labor...my first and only labor...and all I got out of him was "Lay down here with me, the pain will ease." I tried it, lasted about a second, and had to get back up. We were at my mom's house so I tried getting her up, but only got snores out of her. After 2 hot baths, me walking around the yard crying to Momma's dog, and 3 changes of clothes because my water was leaking, I finally had to go to Momma and force her to get up. It was then that she jumped outta bed (my contractions were around 2 minutes apart) and started yelling at my husband that the baby was coming with or without him. I love giving them both a hard time about all of that!

When a woman is in hard labor and the contractions are coming about a minute or two apart, this is not what a woman wants to hear at the end of a contraction: "Get ready honey, you will be having another contraction in 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 seconds. Counting down the seconds to the next contraction is not helpful and really really not appreciated!
