Lois here, it's one of the phrases that enrage the woman. What do you know, Peter? Do we really got this? Would you be 'getting it' if your inside felt like being torn apart by an infant the size of Meg?
For real. When our son was born, my wife chose to work her way up the pain management drugs (hydrotherapy -> nitrous -> IV drugs -> epidural) instead of jumping straight to epidural -- it was something she wanted to avoid. Unfortunately, the labor was long and not-so-great. When she made the call for the epidural, it took them a few minutes to get everything ready and actually in, all while she was sitting up in a less-than-comfortable position. As they were wrapping up the epidural, I said something along the lines of, "They're almost done, you're doing great, just another moment. You've got this."
Her response?
"I'm going to punch you in your fucking face!"
Both very out of character for her, and very surprising, lol. Turns out, hours of being in immense pain fucks with you, and having a bunch of people tell you you're doing great makes some things start to feel... scripted, or robotic? And she took offense to that. Looking back, a pretty funny moment admittedly.
