I know there are plenty of people who find childbirth to be the most beautiful thing on the face on earth and in theory, the miracle of it is. In reality, it’s messy and painful and gross. I’m not all that surprised that it grossed her out to watch that as a young girl. Hell, I had no desire to watch mine whatsoever. ‘You can look in the mirror if you’d like.’ Um, no dice, thank you very much.
I agree wholeheartedly. Everytime they show a birth on TV with a woman laying there with her legs all contorted and she is screaming in agony, I turn the channel. I think childbirth is a miracle of God but not to be shared with the rest of the world. The sweet baby, yes, but not the experience.
Then some cursed idiot came up with the idea that fathers should be expected to be in the delivery room instead of down the street at the bar.
