Labor is an experience like no other, and it’s one that no amount of preparation can fully equip you for. While you can immerse yourself in countless resources—videos, books, and online articles—there comes a moment when that baby has to make its grand exit from your body. It’s normal to feel a mix of confusion, panic, and perhaps a touch of annoyance, not to mention an encounter with various bodily fluids.
In a recent effort to capture the reality of labor, Buzzfeed produced a video that humorously encapsulates the chaotic nature of childbirth. One standout moment? “Can you get your hand out of me?” Trust me, my dear, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Dignity? Leave it at the entrance. The number of medical personnel examining your private areas is sure to surprise you, so mentally brace yourself.
This video also serves as a valuable resource for partners. It offers practical advice for those who may not know what to expect. For instance, there’s a possibility of… well, let’s just say you might encounter poop. And a word to the wise: if your partner is in labor, it’s best to avoid eating in her presence, waving a camera around, or just generally being annoying.
“Um, excuse me? Is anyone going to give me my baby?” is a common refrain in the delivery room, showcasing the urgency and sometimes frustration felt during this process.
