Oh wow!
So you did have to suffer for the birth of your daughter.
Hurts doesn’t it?
Epidurals hurt and are scary.
They wouldn’t let my husband in for mine, but I did hold a nurses hand.
She kept saying “for the baby”,
It was still difficult.
I can’t believe the baby was that big!
Your wife is a legend.
That couldn’t have been fun;
You know how those birthing beds have stirrups? My wife pushed so hard she broke the right one (she’s hella strong - farm kid). The nurses be all GRAB HER LEG.
Steer wrestling is easier.
I actually had chest pains from the level of physical exertion.
I have a bunch of stories. I’m just too lazy to type them all out today.
I nearly passed out when my son was born. The nurse put a chair under me or I would have hit the floor.
They had a mirror so my wife could watch. She kicked it out the way.
There’s too much to type out really, I’ll keep it short-
I was in labor/having contractions for almost exactly 24 hours, my water broke 18 hours into it so they finally admitted me into the hospital. I pushed for an hour and a half at the end and baby human was born. I did it without an epidural or pain meds but at one point I was asking for an epidural but it was way too late. She was born 7lbs 1oz and 20 inches long.
I will add- the nurses were so incompetent, they kept checking my cervix and were like “you’re not dilated at all” well finally a different nurse comes in, checks my cervix and is like “babies head is literally 2 inches from coming out”
