- Lots of screaming, crying and cussing along the way.
- It’s a process that feels like is never going to end.
- There’s a voice telling you “Push! Push!”
- Doctors think they have all the answers, but people have been doing it without them for centuries.
- You’ll soon have a bunch of clothes that are too big for you.
- There are a million books on the subject.
- It was more fun to get in the situation you’re in than to get out of it.
- Spouse thinks they know what you’re going through but they don’t.
- It helps if you’ve got someone there to lend you support.
- Drugs are optional.
- If you’re healthy, there’s no reason you can’t do it.
- There’s quite a bit of labor involved.
- It’s probably the most important thing you’ll ever do.
- It’s hard to explain to your kids.

ReplyDeleteBTW,I passed along the really sh*tty blog award today.
Wonderful, thoughful post! thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy mother told me that labor was like a toothache....you know it's not going to last forever....OH, and it hurts like hell!
My fave was the one where you said it's the most important thing you'll do. I AGREE! And the one the hardest.
HA! My mom has made the comparison before as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this one: It was more fun to get in the situation you’re in than to get out of it.
Dude, are you a writer for a living?
Awesome!!! As usual :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list as always!!! How are you doing though? Don't think you're giving birth unless there's something you haven't told us lol.
ReplyDeleteKelly, I'm a Jack-Sh*t-Of-All-Trades.
ReplyDeleteMy wife Anita told me that as her pregnancy progessed, more and more people smiled at her. I told her that's because she was fatter than they were.
Yeah, I spend a lot of time in the doghouse.
Funny list! Just wanted to add that the brand new life emerging will need to be put on hold for the next 21 years in real life - at best.
ReplyDeletehehe... many chuckles from this post
ReplyDeleteSoo true. Your lists are always funny.
ReplyDeleteANOTHER great one!
ReplyDeleteYou always make my day.
Oh, no! Will I have to shave my hoo-hoo and endure sore nipples again?
ReplyDeleteOHGOSH I'm just hysterical! Read your profile "song" and I'm having kittens! (Hey, maybe I'll drop a few lbs. when I'm done with the birth process.) Had to sign up to follow. You're a riot. Caught your comment on 45+ and aspiring....Now I'll forever picture you in that outfit. Drop on by anytime. :)
ReplyDeleteJack Shit, you're a rock star
ReplyDeletecheers,
Spouse thinks they know what you’re going through but they don’t.
