Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

I called the doctor a F*U*C*K and I told him that he wasnt doing anything & that I was doing ALL The work!!!!

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

With Ryan I said "ouch" a lot. I didn't yell or scream it, just repeated it a lot. My mom was making fun of me "that's it - just "ouch"?

With Colin DH was making fun of me b/c in the last 20-minutes when Colin was coming down, I was tossing my body around saying "no, no, no" the same way Ryan does when he doesn't want to do something.

I did plenty of grunting during my pushing for both - luckily pushing was under 10-minutes for both, but I was pain drug free and it hurt.

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

Nope not really. A little groaning through contractions (my epi really only took on one side), but not louldly. As for pushing, I said "ouch this hurts!" a couple of times, but I was fairly calm. No screaming. I only pushed for 30 minutes though. My mom told me afterwards that she was actually rather impressed by how quietly I handled it. The woman about 3 rooms over was so loud she probably scared people on other floors though

I had pitocin and the epidural didn't take effect- so you can bet your butt I was very vocal. I kept telling the nurse to shut up because she was lecturing me about breathing too fast. DH says I yelled out a few choice words, too, but I don't remember that

I also laughed when I looked up and saw an entire wall lined with students watching me give birth with dopey grins on there faces. I didn't even realize they were there all up in my business until I stopped for a breather.

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

Is was different every time. I screamed and yelled during my last labor, but that was with no pain meds. I was silent with my epidural births.

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

No, I was very quiet...I mean I was talking with my husband and the nurses/Dr, but no screams, yells, groans or grunts. And I delivered 100% drug-free.

Pushing for 3 years, hells yea I screamed and yelled. And my nurse, whom I HATED told me to BE QUIET! She said she doesnt care for screamers and it does nothing to get the baby out..well I basically told her to go F herself and continued yelling. It didnt help though, I needed a c. LOL

GEEEEEEEEZ your hoo-ha must've KILLED after that 3 year push!

No screaming, cursing or grunting here. No pain meds. 3 failed epidurals, pitocin, and a freakin antibiotics IV in my hand, making it really difficult to grip my legs and/or bed rails. In fact, I was having a full conversation with the delivery doc. They told me I was a freak of nature.

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

No noises at all. It was a cool, calm &quiet delivery both times

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

Natural - Drug Free Birth and no noises just concentrating on getting DC out while talking to DH and Midwife...

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

I don't think I did and strangely, I don't remember hearing anyone else yelling or screaming either. It was eerily quiet. And I could tell from the monitor that there were other women in labor, but I really don't remember hearing much of anything!

And I was in L&D from 4am until 5pm!

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

no yelling here I was texting yup texting while pushing and joking with the dr my DH was like OMG because in the other room you could hear this lady screaming her head off and he thought it was the baby!!

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

My labor was like a scene from a movie with the screaming and yelling, except with more profanity. lol
I pushed for a little over an hour, completely natural, no epi or anything. Thank God it was the middle of the night. I *think* I was the only one in labor and delivery at the time. lol

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

I think I screamed twice and my L&D nurse kept yelling at me to stop wasting my energy on yelling and push

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

I literally screamed, moaned and cried before the epi. I thought I was going to pass out and die from the pain. After the epi and while pushing - not a sound. I was in heaven.

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

Rushed in...was already screaming, crying, IN PAIN!

Spread eagle, NO DRUGS and feeling everything so I was screaming when I was told to push and a nurse YELLED at me and told me to stop wasting my energy.

So i DID
Luckily it was 10 min of pushing.

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

I didn't scream, yell or grunt. I remember my whole body shaking! My whole body trembled uncontrollably my whole labor and delivery. I cried a lot too. Just whimpering out of fear and emotion... I think...

Re: for fun: did you yell, scream, or make grunting noises when you were in labor or while pushing?

Since I was pushing dd out and the whole sac ( my water didn't break ) and to feel the tearing ..ummmmmmm yes I did all of the above ! I tried to hold my legs shut and my dh and the doc had to pry me open finally my water bursted all over the nurse ( it had meconium in it ) DH said it was like a scene out of aliens
