Anyway...thinking of my labor reminded me of this little conversation I had...
Scene: Me half naked in a very unflattering position on a hospital bed trying not to cry whilst a nurse repeatedly tries to put a cannula into my hand in-between my contractions which are now 2 minutes apart. Rob by my side looking quite worried and lots of doctors at the back of the room discussing how quickly they can get me into theater (unfortunately surgical and not musical - I so would make a great Mary Poppins, I can say and sing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious perfectly!).
Me: Crying in between my 2 min apart contractions
Doctor: Are you sad about something?
Me: Erm no (still in tears)
Doctor: Why are you crying then?
Me: Because labor really sucks and it really hurts!
Doctor: ...(Silent)
Ridiculous huh!
Right I am off to attempt to make myself another tea without causing myself a permanent injury!
