When my daughter was born, in a hospital, we had the whole natural birth plan. My wife didn't want to have an epidural. But when the time came my wife had a serious infection that was stressing the baby. She was unconscious and the monitors were all in the danger zone. The nurse said we should consider a C-section and I said fine, do it, I reached that conclusion already an hour ago. But, she kept going on about how she understood that wasn't part of our birth plan. I said plans change so go with the C-section. And again, she continues talking about the birth plan while the monitors are all way past any comfort level so I stepped up closer to her, towering over and glaring down on her and firmly stated that “we're going with the C-section, now you need to stop talking and start moving.” Fortunately, at that point she did, otherwise I was about to lose it.
