Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
"So, if the pain is just part of a natural process and there are no long-term effects to experiencing the pain, why treat it at all?"
The mind boggles. And,
Major abdominal surgery... slicing through muscle walls and cutting a bodily organ open... fifteen painless minutes... buh...
Having done this without the baby to take care of on the other end, I can't imagine actually choosing it.
mock the fuck out of the two bonehead dads-to-be with the cracktastic questions. So, permit me to sneer at them.Sneer on, woman, sneer on...
I had narcotic shots with Owen during the 20 hours of labor which didn't work nearly as well as I would have liked them to.
I had two "full on" epidurals and really, I could feel plenty--it just wasn't painful. I think the procedure has gotten a lot better and the drugs they use less potent (or else they're better at dosing) because I could feel and control pushing. I don't think it's about the lower half of your body disappearing anymore. But again--this is definitely a discussion you should have with your OB.

I would LOVE to have video during the delivery with these guys. I'll bet you'd be able to see the lightbulbs going on when they realize what the hell is happening.
"So, if the whole procedure takes only 15 minutes instead of maybe two days of labor, and it's completely painless, why doesn't everybody just have one?"
I hope this guy realized that "painless" was for the cutting/removing baby part and that the recovery from major abdominal surgery is a bitch.
Happy Phoenix Birthday, Everybody!
It's the second part of a two parter. I need to go find me some recaps because I can't recall where we left off.
I think that it was Elle in her house with the psycho

This was explained, in words of as few syllables as possible, but I don't think it did any good.
Man, both those ignorami. Their poor wives.
Happy birthday, Lee! How's Vegas?

Okay, I've had fibroid surgery, which is basically a mini C-section, so it was smaller and theoretically less painful. and it was NOT painless. You should have asked "if it's so goddamned painless, why do they give you a morphine drip?"
How's Vegas?
It was great. Very very tired now though.
Happy Birthday, Lee! It's Vegas, baby! BOING!!!! !
(sure, I said it in Bitches, but Lee is *here* now.)
I think that it was Elle in her house with the psychoYes! Thank you. I was planning to go and look and I got wicked distracted by something vaguely shiny and forgot to check.
Poor Elle, how will she ever survive????? I mean, apart from the bit where they don't have the bits to actually kill a main character unless the actress left them in a lurch. I am looking at you NCIS. Well, I was. Now I have a scheduling conflict.
Thanks Cass!
