So far when I read up on delivery stories I read tear jerkers or how someones delivery was HORRIBLE. I want to hear the funny ones.
Like my brother in law was expecting his first child and before they got to the Hospital he decided to stop at Jack in the box. All the time his girlfriend was in labor.
Or my brother who left my sister in law in her delivery room to go get Burger king and asks her on the way out if she wanted anything.
What is with boys and food?
Anyone else have a funny story?

Mine is similar to the PP. I was given an epidural so that the doctor would be able to stop in the middle of delivery (she needed to check the baby's mouth because she had a bowel movement before being born). The epidural apparently worked really well, I was sitting there with only the baby's head out when hubby said something stupid. I started laughing and couldn't stop. Finally my doctor told me to stop laughing because each time I did I was pushing the baby out and she wasn't ready to catch her yet. After we were all done, both the doctor and the nurse told us that they have never before uttered those words ("stop laughing") during a delivery before. I was the highlight of their week.
I went to the wrong hospital. I'm not kidding I delivered at Northside here in GA... Yeah well they have three locations!!!! I thought I would deliver in the one closet to my doc's office. NOPE I had to deliver at the hospital 40 mintues the other direction. You don't understand I loved this hospital I went for the tour and pre registered everything and not once did my doctors catch on.
While I was pushing, the fire alarm at the hospital started to go off! It was so loud. I asked "do we need to leave the building?" The nurse and midwife just stopped what they were doing, looked at me and said "You stay right where you are, we aren't going anywhere". My daughter was born within the hour, and I never learned why the fire alarm went off. My husband was laughing so hard, wondering how the heck I thought I was going to leave while the baby was on her way.
Before I gave birth, I was talking to my sister on the phone telling her how many contractions I was having. She's like, "OMG you're in labor!" I was making tacos and she was screaming at me to call the hospital, I told her, "I'm not going anywhere until I'm done with my tacos." She's like, "How can you think about food when you're in labor?" "It's tacos."
My hubby laughed at the face I made when they told me I went from 5cm to 8-9cm in an hour. I laughed when I went to feel his head and I asked, "Where is it?" and they told me, "You're touching it now."
LOL! I was pushing my son out and he was so wide that I had to use all my strength to push him out. My husband kept uttering "You are so beautiful, you can do it, I love you." And while a sane person would be ooing and awwing over it I gave him the dirtiest look and told him "I love you but shut the hell up!"
Then I told the midwife... "Ok I need a break so how are you today?" After she stopped laughing she told me I needed to start pushing again.
all of my sisters were in there with me and we can make anything into a good time. my nurse was a jerk and wouldn't get the doctor because these were just "practice pushes" yeah right. she ran to get the doctor because my daughters head was literally hanging out and my nice grandfatherly ob walked into the room to hear all of us cracking "head" jokes and laughing our asses off. the fact that i ended up coughing her out (yup) just made it all the more memorable for him lol
My husband did great till the Dr brought out the shot for the episiotomy. DH was standing by my waist and his eyes got HUGE and he stumbled and nearly passed out. He then grabbed the bed and pulled his wobbly self up and pants in my face "OH MY GOD, did you see the size of that needle!!!!" Then he stumbled again nearly passing out.
When I was in labor every one wanted me to sit still but I was so ready to have my son, I took a walk around the block. That got some things going! It was still taking a while so Ramon left and when he came back he'd gotten me a huge cup of ice from sonic (my fav) and this plushie sea turtle (the baby sea turtle from Finding Nemo, it's an inside joke). I told my aunt, whose house we were at, that I was just going to stay in her heated vibrating recliner and have the baby there. HAH, the look on her face = priceless.

I dont how funny this is but when my God-Daughter was being born I got busted by the nurse, [who by the way said Mom to be couldnt be in labor if she was laughing].....Mom-to be was 15 and scared out of her mind so I started doing the breathing we learned in Lamaze class and floating around the room like a butterfly.... Nurse walked in and wasnt to happy that we were making so much noise.....Mom-to be laughed her butt off and popped out that beautiful baby 4 hours later...
