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"
Lol. I held my wife's leg in the air for over an hour because that's what she wanted. As the baby was crowning she was so exhausted I said 'you gotta push honey you're so close.' And she just screamed 'you did this to me you bastard, dont tell me what to do.'
We've had 2 and I was right there the whole time for both. Cut both umbilical cords. Saw it up close and personal. She told me to shut up any time I said anything, and called me many names. It was honestly pretty hilarious.
Then after the babies were out she got a massive dose of chemicals from her brain and switched over to being super nice almost straight away.
