Your funny birth stories

[Aglassaday]

To lighten up a topic that can be scary for many, what’s your funniest birth story?

I had a home birth, which happened to be on a Tuesday. It was all lovely and serene, everyone was commenting on how calm I was, and then just as I was heading towards transition, I asked the poor student midwife, who was at her first home birth, what time it was. She said it was about 9.30, to which I replied, 'Well, I've missed Holby City then, haven't I?!' as if it was entirely her fault 😳 Luckily she found it funny.
