Are you a screamer?

[Eko]

Haven't read thru the responses yet, but yes! Lol... And the midwife told me to shut up and consider te other patients.

See, now if someone had said that to me I would have FOUND the energy to sit up and smack them in the face.
As far as I'm concerned, eff the other patients. You're not in a hospital to sing kumbaya and drink cocoa. You're there to push a watermelon out of a very small hole.

I can't stand people who pull that cr@p. You're in agony. The least they can do is allow you to vocalize it however you see fit.

With Ds1 I didn't scream, I was too busy falling asleep (hadn't slept more than 2 hours in 2 days) with Ds2 I screamed like all hell, the midwife checked me, I was fully dilated but she said she felt a tiny lip, so don't push and she'll come back and check in 5 minutes. Those 5 minutes turned into 30 because she forgot about me and I'd been holding back the urge to push for even longer. In the end I just started pushing without any nurse in the room, exdp hit the emergency buzzer, nurse came flying in and the first thing I said was 'F*** YOU AND YOUR LIP!* at the top of my lungs he was out in 3 pushes

Nope didnt scream. DS didnt even scream when he came out. We assume the poor lady down the hall was doing enough screaming for all of us that night.
