Labour Pains

[Joliver Jim]

Women love hearing the gory detail.

It wasn't the sentiment, it was the detail!

Like that. Classic.

Amusing stories we have had some laughs over this - When Tracey went in to have Harry we went in to hospital at 5pm as planned, Tracey was asked to get into a bed and so on. she was sat up in bed tucking into a 'roast dinner' of sorts in the hospital. I am sat watching her, bloody starving. Nurse comes in and checks her and says we need to go to the delivery room straight away you are x amount dialated already.

So off we toddle with Tracey in Bed to the delivery room. Gets in the delivery room and we are sat waiting and waiting. Tracey ends up with bad back pain about 8.45pm while I am sat next to the bed saying you will be okay take deep breaths etc... it was goodnight viennna for me as I fainted yes 'fainted' and keeled over on to the bed next to her. The next thing I know both of us are side by side with me on a recliner with more of the staff seeing to me than Tracey. At this point Tracey is saying excuse me can I have more gas and air please. The next thing Harry arrives with the both of us side by side in two beds.

It was like something from a carry on film. Hope its not the same this time round. Mind you I had had nothing to eat since breakfast. Some story and intro to the world for Harry to learn about in years to come.

At least by fainting you are contributing by making someone work for their money, whereas by being concious, like i was, you are no use at all

I don't think any of my husbands were much use. They just sat around twiddling their thumbs.

[Joliver Jim]

I meant either. I've only had two.

So far.

Doesn't matter how many you have, they'll all end up on the useless pile

I will never live it down and worst of all when Tracey had given birth they brought me two rounds of toast and a cup of tea.

[Joliver Jim]

I've realised that.
