Do any of you have them? Any mishaps or funny things that happened whilst you were in labour?Mine was funny at the time, terrifying when I started mulling over what might have happened, and now I remember it amusingly again.
With DS I was 9cm dilated when the midwife broke my waters. I got a huge urge for the loo, and foolishly (out of habit I guess) locked the door behind me. I tried to open it and it wouldn't budge. I tried and tried then banged on the door and shouted to the midwife who was yelling instructions to me. It still wouldn't open, and I suddenly found it really hysterically funny (I blame the gas and air!)
So I was there laughing uncontrollably whilst also screeching in pain, with DH and five midwives and the receptionist all trying to open the door from the outside and panicking.
It took around 15 minutes for a maintenance person to come and unscrew the door and they finally burst it open to see me kneeling on the floor with my nightie around my neck, bum in the air (the midwife told me to assume that position to try and hold off the urge to push) , and still laughing like an idiot. He was born only a few minutes later. Why do they even have locks in delivery suite bathrooms?
With DD it's throwing up, a lot, down DH's back as I leant on him during a contraction.I also found that funnier than I ought to have. He had to go home from the hospital in a surgical scrub top. LOL.
