Just had our first child 3 weeks ago. I was saying this phrase and every other encouraging thing I could think of. 34 hours of contractions before finally going to C section... Things got repetitive honestly. Going through a dozen versions of "You're doing great honey. You got this"

My wife got sick of hearing me trying to encourage her! . She'd reply "I know! Shut up"
