What is the funniest thing you remember about labor/childbirth?

My mother drove me to the hospital which was about 30 minutes away. Hubby was working close by the hospital and was going to meet me there. We were passing by a grocery store and my mom asked if I thought I had enough time for her to stop. There was a turkey roasting pan on sale and she wanted to go in a get one. She went in and got it and we made it to the hospital. (She could've waited, geez) Anyway, being my first child I didn't know what to expect. I was dialated at last check to an 8. I suddenly felt like I needed to go #2. I told the nurse I gotta use the bathroom and she starts to put me on a bed pan and I told her no I gotta go poo and she started laughing. I was quickly wheeled into the delivery room. When my son was about 3, we were looking through photos from the hospital and I told him the story of his birth from beginning to end. He thought it was funny that I thought he was poo poo. Later on, he was knocking on the bathroom door. I told him "hold on I was using the toilet" and he said "are you peeing?" I said "no I was going poo" and he started yelling for his dad, "daddy come here mommys having a baby!"

i had both my kids c-section...was sound asleep...unfortunately i missed out on a great experience...

Thank is funny, I WAS a modest person but when those pains hit I did not care. In fact, I wanted the nurses to check me and tell me that I was progressing. ;) The funniest I remember about my labor/childbirth was calling my doctor a hippie after I got my epidural. I told all the nurses and the medical people in the room with me that. I was so out of it because I had been awake for over 24 hours. I would love to be able to have a child without the whole delivery process. ;)

well i needed to go to the hospital with strong contractions. once we arrived there i had one more. i was in the arrivalpart and hang on a cauch and made a lot of noise! and ofcourse it was visitinghour, so there must be a lot of people there seeing me in pain and i didn't noticed even one person! but at least i was wearing clothes lol!

all throughout my pregnancy we knew that we had a boy, so i was on a mission for the name. my husband is very quiet, and said he didn't care what the name was,, it was my choice...so i picked the name, had it on the annoucements, and when i went into labor and to the hospital, i ended up having a very bad time, so they did an emergency c-section,, and i did not wake up for about 3 days after. so when i awoke-i was groggy and asked the nurses to let me see my baby (i was worried), and when they came back, they said they didn't have a baby with the name i gave them. (my husband was at work, so he was not there at the time),, but they had a baby with a different first name, and the same last name..! imagine how mad i was to find that he had gone ahead and named him something completely different! it was too late (25 years ago, you named them in 24 hours at the hospital i was in),, so he has a name i never even thought of... i was MAD. but, he looks more like a mark, than a bradd. eventually i got over it.,but he was in hot water for a long time. now we laugh!

I was totally wacked out having been in labour for 9 hours and my hubby said try harder so i said a swear word he was shocked as i never swear lol

My childbirth experience was a rather pleasant one contrary to the horror stories I and every other mother have heard. The worst part was the increasingly painful take-your-breath-away contractions. After what seemed like a lifetime the doctor arrived to give me my epidural. I was so nervous about having this long scary looking needle get poked directly into my spinal cord. The procedure went perfectly and within 45 minutes I could no longer feel my lower half from my belly to my toes. I was so grateful for the relief that when the doctor came back in to make sure I was feeling the epidural I dubbed him "savior" and gave him a big smooch on the cheek. Everyone, including the now red with embarrassment doctor, got a good laugh out of it. Then the real work began lol.

When My daughter was born I thought my husband was just out side the delivery room door He had been at the hospital where my 2 boys were born. Any way I was so tickled to have a girl that I wanted to be the one to let him know we had a girl that I shouted out to him we have a girl. I think I let the whole hospital know. He was down the hall and around the corner.

I remember when I was having my son. The moment that he came out they put him on my stomach. The second that he was out he started to pee. Everyone was like "oh look he's peeing, how cute". I didn't think it was so cute and I said "get him off, I don't want him peeing on me". Had I known then how many times he was going to pee on me, I might not have cared. It is funny to look back now and remember that, in fact, it is his favorite story about how he was born.

It was when i deliver my first son.I was only 19 at that time.It was real scared especially my husband wasn't there.I scream saying "ouchhhhhhhhhhh" and crying out loud.My sisters and my mom tried to close my mouth because they feel shame of what i am doing.Lol! Until i was inside the delivery room,and i keep asking my sisters and my mom not to leave me.Lol!!!

I have my share of funny moments while on labor. With my first child, I made an arrangement with my OB not to give me too much anesthetics (I have heard a lot of bad things about anesthesia). So the day came, just like you I am normally a modest person, but at the hospital the doctor asked to removed my underwear and I did remove it immediately with no qualms or shame and spread my legs wide open to a person who I have never met before. After they admitted me, they put in a labor room with 4 other girls on labor. At first I was cool, trying to have small conversation with the other girls. But when the big contractions came, I lost all of my senses. I started asking for the nurse to give more anesthesia....but they refused since they've given me the full dose already. Remember, I was the one who asked for half dose. So I just started praying the rosary, hoping that GOD would lessen my pain. After a while, my OB told me that the baby's about to come out, she asked me to push hard. I did push hard, while I continue praying. She asked me to give me one big push and I did. I closed my eyes pushed and prayed hard. When I open my eyes, I saw my mother and husband beside me. I felt their concern for me but I can help but notice that they seem to be laughing. I asked them why....and said I just finished praying the Hail Mary....! According to the doctors, I was praying so loud in the labor...and while asleep I continue saying my prayers and up to the recovery room..I was still praying.

I have more than one funny story because I have 4 kids, but in particular there are two that I can write about. When I went into labor with my oldest daughter I had a lot of false labor pains. So when my water broke in the middle of the night my husband just laughed when I hollered from the bathroom and said it was time to go. UNTIL he slid across the room and hit the floor hard. We almost had to get help for him too. But really all he hurt was his pride. Than later that day as I was pretty well anesthetized on demerol I hallucinated and saw him facing the corner and peeing on the floor. I yelled at him and said "Oh my god YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Then I realized that he wasn't even there. He came in a few minutes later and told me that he'd been out getting coffee. I felt like such a dummy.

I remember when our second child was born, my wife was quite loud and vocal. In fact I believe she told one too eager to help (get in the way) nurse to shut up. At one point just before Jacob was born my wife was very loud (hey, no pain killers for my tough chick) and the doctor turned to me and said "well, I guess it hurts" in a complete deadpan voice. He's lucky the baby came out on the next push or my wife was going to kill him.

We had something funny happen during delivery, although it wasn't until later that we really appreciated the humor. We had been in the day before, trying to induce, and it hadn't taken. My wife was in big contraction pain for 8 hours and no good, she hadn't dilated enough. The next day, it was starting to work, but as they began inducing, she was in tremendous pain. For some reason the nurses, who were huge on natural childbirth, were procrastinating getting the anesthesiologist in there, and we were aware of what they were doing, so we were angry and my wife was in massive pain. In the midst of one of her fits of contractions, some goofy lanky doctor pranced in the room and announced in the most cheerful morning voice ever, "HIYA! I'm Doctor So-And-So. I'm doing a shift as supervising doctor on this floor, and will be in and out all day. Please let me know if you need anything. So how're you doing there?" Right as he finished, my wife got hit with a particularly rough convulsion, and (she already had a wash rag in her mouth, "biting the bullet") right then she let out the most horrendous, painful moan I've ever heard. Dr. Happy Prissy looked startled, then quickly turned and high tailed it out. We never saw him again. Dummy!

well I didn't cry or scream. but I kept saying get it out of me. And when the kid was out. The doctor looked and said I needed stitches. I freaked when I saw the needle. My son's father was like you just pushed something the size of a watermelon out of a small hole. And didn't so much as cry or scream. but you're panicking over a small needle

lol.. that was one funny story you made me laugh so hard i was imaginging you in the car..lol..ya poor thing! I had a really diffacult pregnancy,,i was in labor for 3 days..and the worst was the last 18 hrs..i was fully dialated and he just wouldnt come out..i pushed and pushed..and i became soo damn exhausted and mad.,.yes mad lol..i screamed and didnt even recall saying it til my mom told me..that i yelled...SKYLAR YOU HAVE BEEN EVICTED! GET OUT NOW!!! lol lol !!i ended up getting a C section..after all that work lol.

for me it was getting high on gas and air lol made me giggle so much they took the mask off me lol

Ohhhhh so much pain, even 19 years later i remember (curse my good memory!!!!)Funniest thing thinking back was the gas and air which was brilliant, apparently i kept shouting way hey im as high as a *******kite! when the nurses tried taking it away i got rather abusive...im normally a very quiet passive person but turned into a monster during childbirth!

When I was having my second child I got to the stage where I could feel I needed to push. I told the midwife and she started singing a song saying do what your body tells you to do. I knew from my first child that if the cervix wasn't fully ready then you are not allowed to push because it could do damage, I explained to this midwife that this is what I was told with my first child and she just kept singing this song. I then told my husband that if I could get off this bed, I would get up and smack her one in the head. My husband got her to check properly to see if it was safe for me to start pushing. Which it was, luckily.

I remember that I was in labor with my first baby and didnt know if my water had broken or if I peed myself. It was about 230am and I caled the nurse and told her that I thought I just peed myself and she said probaly not, it was probaly my water bag. So that was the funniest thing to me. With my 2nd baby, they broke my water bag so no worries there.
