I can't watch, I cry just from the ads!

Really? Aww, bless ya!

Childbirth doesn't make me cry, or actually feel overly emotional at all. Even when I had my own two I asked the midwife if it was weird that I wasn't crying or emotional about my newborn child. It all kicked in when my milk came in.

I ALWAYS cry when a baby is handed to their mum for the first time, even if it's a shitty re-enactment in a movie.

I didn't cry when I had my babies though, first one I was too busy puking to even look at him until they upped my blood pressure and stitched me up, the next one I was so elated I was doing wheelies in the corridor with a wheelchair and the last one, I was so pleased I got up and had a shower and ate sushi LOL, but didn't cry.

I know you said you'd have a c-section, but DON'T DO IT

it takes 6 weeks+ to feel normal again, and that's on TOP of everything being upside-down with a new baby at home! My second 2 were born naturally and that's sooooo much easier!

I never understood that --- the unconscious thing; labor seems to take sooo long in some women.. one of my aunts was in labor for like 36 hours with her 2nd baby..

I don’t know how that worked, either. My first one I was in labor 4 days, first 2 ½ days I hadn’t dilated enough to be admitted so they kept sending me home, I would walk around in the house for a while to try to dilate then go back to the hospital, finally got admitted to troubled maternity ward of the hospital for a few hours, it was so peaceful and calm there, I dilated enough to be admitted to the regular section, but it was so slow going, even after they broke my water that on the 4^th day I ended up having a c-section. They knocked my dehydrated, exhausted butt out; I was too through by that time. The second one I just scheduled a c-section, because I couldn’t see myself going through that again, but I was fully awake for that one, got to kiss his big ole fat speckled pink cheeks and frown because I wondered why the hell was my baby speckled pink. The doctor’s timing was perfect, when I was admitted my labor was starting.

Wait, are you one of the pregnant ones around here?

Note: My experience was not typical in any way.

Hmmm.. I wonder how much a surrogate would cost to carry my fertilized egg(s)...?

as I type this, I can hear a baby crying next door.. sounds pretty new..

I have three kids and all I have to say about giving birth and shows about giving birth is:

Miracle of childbirth my fucking ass.

Fighting with my 20 year old son about his selfish girlfriend that is a disrespectful little bitch of a girl...

wtf, I should have raised my son to have a decent standard in the bitches he chooses to fuck.

f..four days???
wow... if I was wearing a hat, I'd take it off to you..

No, I am not with child/don't have any of my own (not the 2-legged kind anyway, lol) -- but I would like at least 1.... I borrow my nieces and nephews as often as I can (which makes my sibs real happy, LOL )

cloning. much less painful.

cloning would be cool...

either babies, or full grown - like in that movie, "Multiplicity" (so they can help me at work and I can have some time to myself!)

Okay, I didn't want to scare you especially if it would have been your first time.

but, eh, that was 24 years ago, long in the past, they're all grown up now. I lucked out neither were colicy babies, and I had to wake them to feed them at night, they got up in the morning when I got up and went to sleep at night when I went to bed, not at all typical from what I hear.
