A baby's head is coming out of their vagina.

So, fuck yes, there's a need!

Is that you Tom?

Hate the way women feel the need to get all competitive about child birth - no one hands out medals so why be sanctamonious about it?

DanceInTheDark · 10/01/2011 22:03

I wasn't aware i was doing it, i was so out of it!

bees474 · 10/01/2011 22:03

YABVVVVU It depends really- if it feels like you are being torn in two as you struggle with a huge baby back to back after twenty four hours of fruitless contractions then YES YOU BLOODY WELL MIGHT

ThatVikRinA22 · 10/01/2011 22:04

does it hurt anyone else? no!

Articulate · 10/01/2011 22:04

Why shouldn't they? It hurts a fair bit usually.

SlowComfortableShrew · 10/01/2011 22:04

You are clearly a man. Try shitting a football then fuck off.

AuntiePickleBottom · 10/01/2011 22:04

It can help to relieve the pain and all women are different, some scream and shout, some don't. Why do you care?

agedknees · 10/01/2011 22:04

Try and put your mouth over the top of your head. It hurts, yes.

Well giving birth hurts 100 times more.

YABU.

Sanctimonious is the word Angry

Why women scream during labour? It is a primeval battle cry, to spur us on, like men yell when drawing a sword or dagger at the enemy. The situation calls for it!

I went from 3 to 10 cm dilated in less than 5 minutes, I could feel my hips open up, and I thought I was going to poo out a watermelon. I yelled like an Amazon.

hobbgoblin · 10/01/2011 22:05

dunno but is primal really so even if not you aren't exactly going to stop it. Anyone suppressed enough to be able probably would not have a baby up there anyhow...

allnightlong · 10/01/2011 22:05

Grin Queen hehe I'll go with bucket fanjo for OP.

bees474 · 10/01/2011 22:05

Auntiepickle here's your medal, now fuck off
