Default Re: The questions couples ask......

hahahaah!

Olly and I were discussing this yesterday!

'how much does the baby weigh?' a normal question you may think, but not when you have just delivered the baby on to Mum's tummy!

'Can I have a caesarean if I don't like labour?'

'can I keep the epidural for a couple of weeks?'

'Can I stay in for a couple of weeks, our car is at the garage?'

'could you order a McDonalds for me, please?' When I looked a bit stunned they said 'Pizza, then?'

'If I don't have the injection, will my placenta stay in?'

'Do we have to eat it?' (placenta, I should've said yes!)

'How much longer is this going to go on for?, them midwife said it would only be a day?'

There are loads, yes a bit funny and sometimes bonkers..

But sad aswell, there is so little antenatal education now, most people have no clue what labour and birth are really like.

I blame soaps aswell, lots of couple have no idea a placenta has to come out aswell

One lady said..'Ewww, what the hell's that??!

Awful that in this ag of information, women have no knowledge of labour and birth, some not even a basic idea
