Cool The questions couples ask......

Sometimes I am mentally screaming WHAT?? but outwardly I smile and politely answer.

Last Sunday as I did our weekly tour of labour suite for couples nearing delivery one of the questions I was asked was... "How long will my wife have to be in pain before she is given a ceasarean section?". I gave a long and very polite answer explaining that there are clinical reasons for C/S not just pain... blah blah

This same man then asked "Can my wife have steak and chips delivered while she is in labour?" I looked at him and replied 'if your wife can eat steak and chips she's probably not in labour'

Maybe I am just mean

Any others that any of you would like to share?
