another pet peeve
What is it about being pregnant that makes other women feel the need to tell us in great detail how bad/horrible/long their own labor was?
do they not know that i'm already slightly nervous about it, and well aware of what can happen?
I don't want to hear it!!!!
Its 1/2 the reason i hate going to baby showers - all the women do is recount their own labor horror stories!

Re: another pet peeve
100% TRUE...even total strangers. They then usually follow up with "I wish you a short and and easy labor"!

Re: another pet peeve
I don't mind hearing the stories. it's amazing how every one is different so you never know what your going to get.
It is what it is, it's all worth it at the end.

Re: another pet peeve
To add to this, no matter what I may mention out loud - I get an "oh wait til the baby comes"...
Today I got pooped on by seagull at the beach and posted it to Facebook and half the comments were about how I better get used to it because when the baby comes, I will be getting pooped on all of the time.
How about you just laugh at my expense like the people who saw it happen did????

Re: another pet peeve
LOL I don't mind the stories...I actually find them amusing. My husband, however, gets annoyed and feels like every time I am around someone that has kids that is all we talk about and it grosses him out.

Re: another pet peeve
Old timer here!!! I think everyone's experience is unique!! With Deb and Donna, I was only in labor for a few hours and had them before lunch!! With our Son, same thing, only faster and at night!!! The Dr. almost didn't get to the delivery room on time!!!! Not all labor experiences are what you hear about!!  Mary
