Six years ago today I pushed out my own rugrat. One of the ob/gyn residents, a darling young thing, asked me if I wanted a mirror to see "the crowning head." Vom! Ur, no thanks, just let me know when he has slid all the way out. That will signal the cocktail hour, thanks! #livestream

Says the commenter who had her kids sans drugs. And sans camera. No icky "Look, Ma! My cervix is the size of an English muffin!" shots for me.
PS: Young ladies, that's how labor was described to me. Your cervix is the size of a Cheerio normally. It dilates to the size of an English muffin. Enjoy your breakfast... #livestream

I thought "fitte" had a stronger connotation (or at least it does in Swedish). #livestream

Having just dropped a spore recently, I remain absolutely confused about one's burning desire to make childbirth a three ring circus replete with AV staff, every single family member within a 30 mile radius and the desire to make it available for public consumption. People have no sense of boundaries, do they? #livestream

During those lovely parenting classes, people asked the most daft questions. How many people are allowed in the delivery room? How many people can visit? Can my husband tape it?
By the third question I got so annoyed that a loud "Good grief!" escaped along with a head shake and an eye roll. I wasn't very popular after that.
Really - people don't bring the entire family out for an appendectomy or tonsillectomy. Why would they bring a box of tools to this - an actual medical procedure? I feel really sorry for the nurses in L & D. #livestream
