I'm gonna guess that she's happily startled because, for example, mine hit his weed pen outside every 15 minutes and fell asleep on the couch and never once came near me. I think that my experience (or smth similar) is pretty common.

Edit: Hi, I'm an actually human person and was the first to comment on this. I'm not trying to start a damn war of the roses, and apparently this is NOT the correct answer (see the next comment below mine). Just popped in with my stupid, obviously incorrect thought about what this could mean. So chill with calling me a stupid whore.

Know of at least four husbands/boyfriends to either:

1.) Tell the expectant mother to “hurry up”

2.) Complain he’s the one suffering because he’s been sitting in a chair for hours

3.) Blame the doctor/mother because baby wasn’t sex he had wanted

4.) Get mad they couldn’t smoke a celebratory cigar whilst holding the newborn and/or in the hospital <—- Boomer thing, apparently

So yeah, I do not envy anyone in the OB/GYN field

SOURCE: Worked at a hospital for a few months in what was essentially sanitation. Someone leaked it or spilled it, we cleaned it.

Believe and trust I heard plenty but thankfully never saw anything

My mother said she didn't yell or scream because my father told her he thought women just did it for attention and if she did he'd be embarrassed and leave.

She tells this as a funny story/something she was proud of. It disgusts me.

I've had a delivery with no epidural. I have no idea what I said or did because the pain was truly on another level. It's like an out of body experience where time both stops and also fails to exist. Active labor felt like 5 seconds and 5 hours. I want to punch my father in the face when I think about that story.
