Thank you Bethel. I think none of us knew what we were in for. We took our usual approach. I read everything i could get my hands on. He just went thinking “let’s see what this is about”. We make a good team 😊.
... I'd absolutely say something similar, I don't know what yet but I definitely know it would be as confusing to my wife as that line is to you. Once she's pregnant I'll know.
Thanks so much for referencing me here! Not been on twitter substack much for last few weeks. More anon! Just wanted to make sure I responded to your kind mention.
In my opinion, it felt like all the bones from the pelvis down were disconnecting from my joints being slammed to the floor over and over again, and that is all due to my demanding natural childbirth, and have I mentioned I made that demand twice...... (and what is wrong with physicians? They know pregnant women have pregnant brain, why ask a pregnant woman if she wants to endure the worse pain of her life, and if one does, why listen if she says yes?)
Hahahahaha! I was “I totally want natural” and then “hi! You know where I said that amount of horse crap? Can I take it back?” And I could. That you made the mistake the second time around makes me think that lobotomies after the first childbirth are more frequent than we thing 🤣
My mother was livid when she found out, she thought the doctor forced me to have natural, and the look on her face whe I corrected her was seriously for the record books.
To be fair, all my births have been really hard. From his end he says he aged 5 years each time he saw me struggling so much, pushing for hours, always ending up with a doctor having to “go in” to get the baby out. The last one he almost had a heart attack, but maybe I will leave it for another story. Thank you for reading, it means the world to me.

As a man, thank you for describing this process in a way that helped me understand and for C letting me know what not to say.
You are welcome!
Your down there is devastated!...ha, laughed out loud. How dare he!!
I know, the nerve of the man. How i still mothered two other children with him is beyond my comprehension 🤣
I would never just say, "I am vigilant."

Just make sure she has no hidden weapon around… it could not go down well 😜

Bravo!!!! And a very accurate representation of labor pain!
Yeah, that torture rack thing is engraved in my loins 🤪
Loved this story. Poor C. I've only ever witnessed a birth... that shit was gnarly!
Poor C?!?! Anna, I must be a lousy writer if it’s him whom you find deserving of your pity 🤣
ah, but now try reading it in a dry, ironic tone...
🤣🤣🤣
Bold line from C after birth, bold indeed. I wouldn't have attempted :)
I know, right? I must have been so high on oxytocin I actually found it funny. 🤪
Disney is going to sue you...
Jeez Ana , thanks a lot.
I am 8 1/2 months pregnant. Just kidding…
That was simply brilliant!
🤣🤣🤣
