re: husband objects to pain relief during labor?

Quoting Crystal Marie S.:" You can always offer to shove a bowling ball up his dick, then ask him how it feels."

This, made my day :')

Quoting JiLLiAN.:" <blockquote><b>Quoting A❤T=P+[It's a Girl:</b>" In other threads you said ... [snip!] ... this time? "</blockquote> I've never said I had an Epi. I had an IV with pitocin that I didn't know I could reject."

pitocin was horrible. that's why I wanted the epi with #2, but they didnt get it to me in time...

Quoting Turt McGurt™:" my DH objected too... but it didnt really matter to me because i was already planning on going drug free anyway..i'm more afraid of the needle in my back and its side effects, than the contractions..."

I honestly was too. I dont let anyone touch or "massage" my back. it freaks me out. but when it came down to it, I needed it. the anesthesiologist with #3 was great; i barely felt the shot. but with #4, idk if it was the guy or what, but it hurt and he had an attitude...

Quoting wannaknow:" Any of you ladies ever had your husband/so/bd object to you having pain relief during labor? I know I ... [snip!] ... hit him for acting like a dick about it. He isn't going to change my mind, but it makes me feel bad that he thinks I'm a wimp."

i will personally slap him for you if you wish. YOU are the one having the baby. it's YOUR decision whether he likes it or not. if you can't take it then you can't take it. you are Not a wimp!! i already know i can't handle much pain and don't have a regret making the decision to have an epidural. he won't understand cause he's a man! lol!! if he knew what it felt like he would probably be ten times worse because men don't know pain and are overly dramatic. my husband is always telling me how happy he is that he doesn't have to go through it. haha. be strong momma. do what's best for you.

2 words for you....HELL NO....let my husband try to say a word about me not getting pain relief if I choose to have it....have him grow a watermelon in his stomach for 9 months then try to push it out of his crotch with no medication...a man would die...

Quoting J+D=4:" pitocin was horrible. that's why I wanted the epi with #2, but they didnt get it to me in time..."

i didn't even know what it was. i didn't know i could say no. i was pissed once i found out. i read an article on brio birth about it, and smurf no. i hated it the first time and i hate it even more lol

Quoting Jas ♥:" My family was in a whole different country, I still didn't text during labor. Not because its "wrong" or anything but my ass was hurting. I had to keep focused and texting would have distracted me."

this seriously made me lol
