bad sex awards: how about childbirth?

Article in the Times touched on the literary award for bad sex in a novel. I wondered whether any one has any contributions for a literary bad birth in a novel?

Can't think of any toe curlingly embarrassing childbirth in fiction myself, but a funny one in Adrian Mole, when Adrian witnesses the birth because the nurses mistakenly thought he was the baby's father, so we see the birth through his eyes and then the fun of the nurses' horror when they realised who he was! (Thanks Sue Townsend - a memorable scene.)

Although my DP is banned
He will be disappointed, after telling him, 'men do go on MN, even *** goes on there' he was almost siging up.

Just the problem of a name that was suitably manly for the mens room, unisex enough for the 'ugh, a man is reading this' threads and had ample opportunites to namechange that was stopping him.

have just realized that the number of stars aren't faithfully repeated when you press 'post'. VS, HOW many stars did you intend?

TinyTimLivesinVictorianSqualor · 07/12/2007 10:28

I just did stars, I actually did enough to make 'Prince Edward'
