To ask for your bizarre labour memories/flashbacks

[MrsA2015]

One of mine was being on all fours and fed an M&S Mexican 3 bean wrap, which I promptly threw up leaving the poor student midwife to clear up. Oh and asking for jellied eels (I've never had them before and don't like seafood)

Shouting at the midwives to stop being so shady about the timing of my labour. Only time I've ever been impolite to anyone

When I started the pushing stage I shouted really loudly "I need a poooooo!"

I was very insistent that the Dr had eaten a banana because he smelt of one. DH said I didn't shut up about the smell & kept asking him.

He was referred to as Dr Banana from then on until the gas & air wore off.

I remember I was high on gas and air and being ready to push but nurse said I had to wait for midwife who was just on her way, nurse had put on the radio earlier for me and at that moment Enrique's Hero came on and I started sobbing uncontrollably as it ended because I really would have liked DS to have been born to one of my favourite songs

Also, my best friend had come to the hospital just shortly before I gave birth so ended up sticking around to meet baby. Just a moment after I'd sobbed over my song finishing I demanded she come into the room as my birthing partner as my then OH was doing my head in with all his hyperventilating and shaking and squeezing my hand harder than I was his , when he pulled a face I wanted her there too I proceeded to tell him it's the right thing to do as she after all is the real father...that gas and air was some amazing stuff

I've told this story before on here before.

I told my midwife if she didn't get her hand out of my chuff she would have my fist in her face

I wonder what the midwives think of all this!

After a failed ventouse and whilst being 'cut' before an attempt at forceps my DH declaring 'it's like the Texas chainsaw massacre down here'. Not reassuring!

I kept telling DH the gas and air wasn't doing anything at all, and yet he tells me that I told my (very nice) midwife that I loved her and wished we were best friends

For dc3, 31 minute labour, it was so painful and pretty much one constant contraction. A couple of days later she took his top off and he had bruises all over his chest. I asked him how what the hell happened, he said "you did!" 😳 Aparantly I spent the whole time hitting him i cant even blame gas and air as I didn't have any!!
