....to wish the woman next to me would stop making sex noises?

[Ifyourawizardwhydouwearglasses]

On antenatal ward being monitored. The woman in the opposite bay is I think having contractions, but with every one is making the biggest sex noises/groans/sighs I've ever heard.

I can't remember contractions being that much fun...!?

I wonder what you're doing or will do that is annoying everyone else in the ward.

I know....poor woman....

Quietly contract and labour in a silent martyr stylee please....send a telegram to inform nanna of any birthing....

Sienna, I fail to see how this affects the woman in any way. Has op posted anything that could possibly identify her? No. The op is just having rant.

I sympathise OP. When I was having contractions another expectant mum was giving her partner 'relief' without fully closing the curtains. That was rather off putting. ACTUAL sex noises.

I wonder what you're doing or will do that is annoying everyone else in the ward.

Nothing. I'm perfect.

Oh but now I'm paranoid my feet smell. Might go wash them in the sink.

Fuck ME I'm bored.

Oh, well that's okay then. Mock away as long as she doesn't know

It just doesn't sit right with me. This could be anyone of us in labour, making noises that we can't control and it's not nice to think there could be some whinge bag in the corner updating a forum of strangers about our every move. Even in labour, people are nitpicking your every move.

I'm so disappointed you are on a labour ward and not sitting in a meeting/in a queue at Starbucks/at the library.

Ffs, she's in labour. Stop judging and grow up.

So people make noise during sex?.......................

Woman on antenatal ward makes noise in labour?! Fucking hell! Someone alert the press!

Or you could get a life op and stop being so nasty. You never know, it could be you mooing like a cow or screeching at the top of your lungs soon. Let's hope :)

I made lots of sex-noises while in labour, and I assure you I was not having fun.

Actually, I probably make more sex-noise in labour than I do when having sex . Maybe I'm actually making labour-noise during sex?

In my last labour I was screaming like a banshee. And I hope some poor bored fucker in the next room had a giggle about it.

For the record, I haven't shown her the thread, made any contact at all, made any identifying comments here or dropkicked her in the face but do go on vilifying me - its passing the hour!

I'm gobsmacked that posters are making a fuss over the fact that you are letting off steam about another woman's labour noises - surely tosser-with-phone is the one to be ranting against?

I remember vaguely thinking at the end "who the f*ck is making that noise?" Before realizing it was me.

Wasn't on the ward then though luckily.

When I was in hospital waiting to be induced, I had to wait for 4 days before there was space for me in the delivery ward. I thought I was sobbing quietly to my DH about how I'd not seen my DS or green vegetables for days (the veg was definitely the bigger issue at that point!) and a nice man in with his wife for induction gave me a tub of fruit!

Anyway, perhaps she's going for an orgasmic birth?!

I'd have no problem with the op cheerfully ramming the irritating man's phone up his backside and telling us all about it. But that's because he is choosing to be a dick.

The poor woman in labour is probably in pain and has no choice about the noises she is making. She's also in hospital with a dick who's calling the whole world on speaker phone.

But then I wouldn't giggle at the sound of someone obviously in pain. Maybe I'm totally humourless but when I have heard someone screaming on the delivery suite it made me feel quite anxious and panicky because she was obviously in agony and scared.

I spent a month on an antenatal ward. I would have murdered that man by week two.
Antenatal wards should not be for late stage labouring.

I agree Jayne I think it's really bad that there are some women in the ward at risk of losing their babies due to health complications, and who need peace, rest and recuperation, sharing with women in late stages of labour, and women with newborns.

I guess in the UK it's a resources thing though?

If it were Saturday this could have been me. I was very aware of how vocal I was whole in the assessment ward, and the other lady was quiet as a mouse.

When I was in hospital last week I moaned on MN about a woman with Dementia calling out all the time.
Just because it's not someone's fault that they're making a noise doesn't stop it from being annoying when you're only a few feet away from it!

Another timely reminder that no matter what you do, no matter where you are, there will be some bitch judging you.

You're..........not your

And just because something is annoying, doesn't mean you have to broadcast it on the internet to try and get roughly 2 million people to laugh at someone in pain.......

We all make stupid noises in labour- and plenty of us poo/piss/vomit too. What goes on the labour ward, stays on the labour ward IMO.
