I shared this with some co-workers and one woman told me she loved being in labor. She said she had no pain killers whatsoever and that she just loved being in labor. Anyone else like being in labor?

That woman has some serious S&M issues.

I hated labor and begged like a little bitch for pain killers. I was in labor 21, 27, and 48 hours respectively with my kids.

There was a thread here the other day that kinda put it all in perspective for me though. I wouldn't change what happened for the world.

Speaking of stomach muscles, I had two of my children by Ceasarian section. I was down for the count for two months behind the two surgeries.

I can't even imagine. I only had a 2 inch incission and I was literally unable to walk for nearly a week, barely able to walk by 2 weeks and unable to sleep right for over a month. It was hell, but I'd do it a million times over than have one of those apendicitis attacks. I had 14 of em before having it removed. I'd be dead right now if it was still inside me.

Yeah, you can really compare your appendix to my 9 lb., 4 oz. daughter.

That woman has some serious S&M issues.

What a beautiful experience!

SUPA!!

My wife suffered a miscarriage a few weeks ago. I started a thread announcing the news she was pregnant and expressing my joy at being a father for the first time. But since I'm not a "popular" orger that thread went under the radar and I didn't see the point of announcing the miscarriage. Oh well.. good luck to you and your family with the new baby!!

It was your question

I remember once sitting with my baby sister in a bean bag in our living room and watching the "Donahue" show. The topic of that show was homosexuality. I sat there completely engrossed in the show because at 12 years of age, I already knew I was gay, actually I've known ever since I can remember.

My mother was behind me on the couch so could not see that I was listening intently to the show. I just pretended not to be listening while I rocked my sister, kissing her head....but all the while I was listening to the program.

During the show my mother called my attention and she said "You are special. You have a woman's heart. But just because you love your little sister, and just because you have a woman's heart, that does not mean you are gay."

"Woman's heart". My mother was right. I do have a woman's heart. It's one of the reasons I would choose to be gay. I can express myself in exactly the way I want. I don't have to be afraid of fitting into a little box called "being a man". I can be whoever I am, I can cry, and I can express all the love I have. I'm truly free

I'm still cracking up at this If you saw her you'd know why. Could never picture her into bondage

But somebody I know knows a girl named Mistress.....

Dude, the Mistress had her babies at home with a midwife and no pain killers. No wonder she brings folks to their knees, literally.

TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said:

I TRIED to do that.

The woman I was talking to who said she loved labor saw the impact this has had on me and she made a suggestion. She suggested I look into volunteering to be a coach for single mothers who may not have anyone to help them through their birthing process.

I'm not sure if this kind of program exists but as soon as I get myself situated with another car, I'm going to check into this How excellent it would be to be there for someone who is set to go through it alone
