Reaction to the anesthesia. Plus it is COLD in those delivery rooms.

Momzillas... Hehe...

Is that like Bridezillas?

The irony is, you do all this "special chit" for your child and your kid still winds up a serial killer, cannibal, crack addicted teenage pregnancy freak... So you did all that for what reason?

I say, let your kid live and learn some things as kids... But, since I don't having any, what can I say? LOL

Or like Major Payne says, "why don't you pop your tittay out his mouth and let him grow up and be a man"... "I don't call this nurturing, I call it neutering..."

That's sounds like an allergic reaction and by letting her go thru that sounds like negligence.

Oh, no, it happens with both kinds of births. My hospital has a special blanket warmer just for laboring and new moms but the cold seems to come from within. Sometimes you start shivering horribly within a few weeks of birth due to the rapid weight loss.

Before my first child was born, I had a terrible fear of needles and really wanted to deliver naturally because of all the epidural stories I'd heard. When I got to the transition part of labor, though, I could not get an epidural fast enough and in the rest of my deliveries, I made sure to ask for it at about 4 cm. Maybe some people don't have agonizing labors. I did.

Fun fact - while labouring for #1, the anesthesiologist came by to ask if I wanted anything. I said no, I didn't, but could he PLEASE go sedate the woman down the hall who was screaming bloody murder???

LOL! You made me think about what kind of pain-taker I am. I've broken numerous bones, had a second trimester miscarriage, etc...things that causes extended periods of pain/discomfort. I'm not one to scream - what's the point really? You're just wasting energy. Instead, I tend to look demon-possessed, start cursing like a sailor and fly into a rage when I'm in a lot of pain. I also throw things. Maybe delivering in a hospital near sharp objects wouldn't be a good idea?

Oh, I curse like a sailor, too! If I decide to have children, labor should be... interesting. Yeah, interesting is a good word.

Lol, and a full on rage takes less energy than one good scream?

From the stories nurses have told me, it's never just one little scream. I think throwing a pair of scizzors at my husband would require less energy than hollering for who knows how long.
