How to Deliver a Baby Without Pain Meds If You're Not a Spiritual Person But Are Really Geeky
5. Pretend you are Muad'Dib, and if you take your hand out of the pain box, the Reverend Mother will stick a poisoned dagger in your neck.
21. Grab husband's arm, whisper dramatically "Death is my gift."
22. Midwives look alarmed, have not watched a lot of Buffy.
8. Give up, ask for drugs.
Heh.
Or there's my shorter version, which is delay going to the hospital until this ep of Party Down you've been watching on Netflix is over and then by the time you get there and have filled out all the paperwork for an epidural it will be too late to actually get one.
[eta: Oh god don't read the comments x100000. The amount of bullshit pseudoscientific CRAP that women are told about childbirth is just unbelievable.]
It sounds to me like we're getting kicked out. Which amounts to the same thing.
Yeah, when the Iraqis refused to extend the legal coverage the troops have for anything they do, I figured we'd be outta there soon.
Your link is broken, Tom. You're missing the httpery.
Man, I hate talking to people that don't understand me. What's up with them? Why can't they read my mind? Why did I type "minds" initially?
We will have a huge staff for embassy in Iraq, far larger than a traditional diplomatic staff, many of whom will carry guns. Still means most of the troops will be out.

So true. Although maybe I'm just saying that because I didn't have that magical experience of falling asleep to the gentle rhythmic ache of labor, and waking up an hour later to the sounds of my newborn baby, who popped out on her own (oh, the little overachiever!), cooing gently at my side. Of course, had I been, I'd probably be mildly envious of the women who actually manage to acheive orgasm during childbirth.
I'd really have to see that one to believe it, Burrell.

SERIOUSLY.
I just hope the people considering water births are reading the comments that mention The Pooping and will put two and two together before they actually subject their newborn child to taking their first breath underwater in a tub swimming with fecal matter. Sorry, should I have whitefonted that?

That could make for one hell of a kink.
Whoa, there's cell-phone video of Gaddafi being beaten bloody by the crowd, and dragged, shirtless and barely conscious right before they shot him in the face.
Reminds me of Ceausescu's end.
