Ah ha ha h ah ah a ha

I'd promised myself (for my mental health) I would not click on any more Daily Mail links, but that has cheered me right up.

lmfao that hilarious

And they picked one of the yoga poses that is absolutely impossible to do whilst pregnant as well. Good choice there.

I've just woke DH up with my laughing.

bwahahahahahahahaha

Yes the pictures and words don't exactly match up do they?

Don't the dm pay their picture editors enough?

Was this maybe someone on work experience?

Funny! But that article is horrible. The letter starting 'Right. So her first labour was 12 hours...' hits the nail on the head.

I was fortunate to have two relatively natural labours (although I did - shock horror! - expose my unborn DC1 to a morphine based drug), but I would never lecture people on how they should cope with childbirth. She doesn't once mention how mother and baby death rates have dropped compared with when these medical interventions weren't available; so much for perfect biological design.

I've had 4 drug free labours (two inductions) - and I think the article is mysoginist propaganda. It's not even the 'natural childbirth is so much safer' angle - it's the 'have a bubble bath and do some stretches to ease the 'cramps'' angle.

Ha ha ha

LOL

Saw this article yesterday, PMSL!! Stock photo FAIL by the WAIL.

not goign to read the article, but that photo is hilarious!

Couldn't bring myself to read the article either as it would make me too angry but had to have a peek at the photos after your comments. WTH were they 'thinking'?!

Hilarious!!!!!!! No wonder the DM is such a joke of a paper!

This did make me snort with laughter!

I don't know why you're all laughing. This is EXACTLY what I looked like when I was labouring in the bath...

Yes, that is exactly what I looked like whilst giving birth

so funny, I thought this thread was going to be about something entirely different. Hilarious.

Ahahaha! Laughed so much at that ridiculous article, my contact lense fell out!

Wish I could have raised my leg that far without my pelvis splintering throughout pregnancy, let alone labour.

Come on ladies - we should be thanking the DM for giving us something extra to aim for whilst in labour

Tooo funny!x
