Did you have any embarrassing moments during pregnancy/labor/delivery? Share! If you want to, of course...
I'll start. My water broke just as I was getting out of my vehicle to turn in paperwork for my job. My husband worked with me, so he tried to drive me to the hospital but was too hysterical so we had to pull over a block down the road and I drove myself. Once we got there, and I stood up, the gushing just kept coming. I was standing at the check-in desk trying to squeeze my legs together and keep it in because there were people in the lobby but there was no holding back once I had to go to my room. I had to walk and, well, yeah...Niagara Falls. Then after I was in my gown and in the bed, the nurse was asking me questions and I passed gas! Twice! My butt kept interrupting her, LoL! I was so embarrassed! I didn't even know it was coming, but she was understanding about it.
Well my obgyn checked on me once and then it was the sexy male obgyn. I'm high as mother effer on pain killers and he comes in and asks if I'm passing gas as he checks my incision.
I giggle and say " dear God yes you should've heard me a minute ago" he looked up at me and smiled and asked how the pain meds were treating me.
When I was about 8 cm with my second, I decided I was done with Labor and I was going home. I had no meds, so I stood up, grabbed my shoes. Hubby asked what I was doing, I said "Im done. You can have this baby. I am going home!" He looked at me shocked and had to convince me to get back in the room, which didn't take muc afer a fe contractions.
After I pushed her out, the nurse said she was going to give me a shot of pittocin to help get the placenta out.I started crying like a baby because "the shot would hurt!" The nurse said "Hunny, you just went trough labor. This is nothing!"
I had a panic attack in the delivery room. I felt so silly afterwards.
Quoting lauratupper:nothing that embarrassed me no.
“So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.”
