to be upset that DH did not buy me a curly wurly straw to take to the hospital?

[PavlovtheForgetfulCat]

I am quite upset.

He said he looked for straws yesterday while at the supermarket for me to take in order to drink my water etc with during labour 'but they only had chrristmas novelty ones, or curly wurly straws'.

And I said 'why did you not get my a curly wurly straw' and he said 'not appropriate, you are an adult'

HMPH. I told him I would be embarrassing him in ways more inappropriate than drinking from a curly wurly straw when I am in labour

He is insistent that I go without rather than have one. How rude?

Gosh. Contractions! How exciting. Have some more!

Straws - fab during labour if you need somebody to hold a drink for you

BUT - and I know this sounds silly -

Make sure you practise first! First time around, dh was holding glass with straw in for me - but never seemed to hold it at the right hight or angle so despite being really thirsty I'd end up with lots of air or he'd hold it higher and higher (as you would tip up a cup for somebody just drinking it) which meant my head tipped back further and further or I'd get it spilt down me... chaos!

good luck!
