Although at one point I did say to a very close and supportive husband, "Dude, your breath sucks!" He went and bought a toothbrush from the vending machine. Labor #2 was too fast for making out.
Hee. This makes me think that your experience is common enough that they keep toothbrushes handy in that L&D.
Orgasms during childbirth?
I'm a size queen, but that's
rediculous.
Maybe the women who have these "orgasms" just have really really REALLY crummy sex all the time?
Sparky! Over here! Look at me!
Ignore the horrible childbirth stories. I know three women, THREE WOMEN who had painless contractions. Two of them didn't even know they were in labor and barely made it to the hospital.
Now, birth didn't feel like a tickle-fight (much less an orgaasm) but it was pretty smooth having not had much labor in their labor.
THREE.
From a bystander's perspective, epidurals appear awesome. I remember going to the birthing class and talking about drug strategy, most women wanted to avoid drugs or take just enough Demoral to 'take the edge off', but one woman was a maternity nurse and just said epidural with no hesitation.
Much job-ma MFNLaw and much health-ma PixKristen. I sure hope the Treasury uses a bit of that $700B bailout to help GM and Chrysler. A lot of unemployed people is not going to help matters.
I'm so glad those factory workers in Chicago who had to occupy the shut plant got their benefits. Not as glad as if the company had stayed open, but still -- that's the kind of parachute that the working man/woman deserves.
Oh my. Is this the worst jewelry a man could wear?
Inches?
I'm guessing this is an old ad.
Some of the other posts at Fabulon are NSFW.
I wouldn't say that labor was easy or exactly fun for me, but I did two without any drugs and did in fact find it very rewarding. The endorphin rush afterwards was STUNNING - I can see how people would compare it to orgasm. I was totally high and pain-free and couldn't sleep for about 18 hours after each kid. I compare labor to running a marathon - it was painful, in the way that working hard at something is painful, but the feeling of victory was way cool.
Note, I have not and do not plan to ever run a marathon. I'm not CRAZY.
My birth experience involved lots of drugs and an emergency c-section and quite frankly sucked. Still planning to do it again, though.
I've been to Love Saves the Day in New Hope! Many times, actually, when we lived just south of there. I'm glad it's not closing, at least.
My SiL says he really does like pink. They had pink cammo hockey tape at the sporting goods store the other night and she said he would love it. She didn't get it because she said my brother would have a fit.
Sue, is the kid a Red Wings fan? [link]
