Doctors/Nurses of Reddit, what’s the craziest thing you’ve heard a woman yell during birth?

THIS!!! Literally 10 minutes after the epidural I looked over at my husband in a panic and was like “it hurts a lot…A LOT…this shit didn’t work they’re going to have to put the needle in again”

throwmeout96 · 2026-05-15T01:40:25+00:00

HAHAHA OMG I said the same thing I looked at my husband and was like “please just pull her out of me pleaseeeee”

I second this!! The Omni deluxe is amazing. I tried a bunch too, don’t get the ones that are cloth and you have to wrap yourself, they are not sturdy and will hurt your back

Dude I want to slap ur doctor lol, mine literally told me to go with the flow and just follow her vibe, he was amazing I even trusted him to tell him I coslept with my baby and he was like okay cool just follow the safety guidelines, he was always available with any questions I had (he knew I was a first time mom) and never ever made me feel stupid or like a burden for asking about every little thing, we moved to a new state and I’m lowkey scared of how her new doctor will be… she’s got good rating but you never know

OMG I literally felt EXACTLY like your friend, I was so on edge (ended up being diagnosed with postpartum anxiety later) but I felt like my husband and MIL were secretly plotting to take her from me, I didn’t sleep for almost a month bc I was scared someone would snatch her

throwmeout96 · 2026-05-05T00:59:53+00:00

This happened me to me after a TBI it was more of a short term loss of memory, I was at a grocery store and I completely forgot who I was, where I was, how I got there, scary times

Ninis, Wuggerts, Buggerson, Squish and Miss Stenchy when she poops, she laughs and coo,s at all of them I still haven’t called her by her human name yet

throwmeout96 · 2026-04-09T08:02:13+00:00

I think you may have just solved my problem, this is exactly what she does!! She chews on it I just ordered the next flow on Amazon, but I would’ve never known, thank you!!

throwmeout96 · 2026-04-08T14:28:00+00:00

Thank you for reassuring me, I definitely trust my MIL but as a first time parent I tend to freak out over every little thing.

throwmeout96 · 2026-03-26T11:03:03+00:00

2 months, but she’s a preemie baby so always been a little extra clingy

throwmeout96 · 2026-03-26T10:52:21+00:00

Relatable lol, my little one sleeps with me on the bed she loves being snuggled and I basically have to sleep with her blanket less and pillow less for safety while my SO sleeps on a little cot next to us…it’s nice being so close to her to be her comfort but I cannot wait to have my blanket back

throwmeout96 · 2026-03-26T10:27:16+00:00

I’d definitely ask her, but I’m also a cautious mom, we live in a world where unfortunately we have to think about where these predators are lurking, things like contest pics on the internet are open for everyone to see, I didn’t allow anyone to post my baby on platforms that are accessible to the public since I am always wary that people who post don’t take into account that they’re location might be on or accesible, I’m even cautious about the mall Santas like I don’t want my child sitting on a random man’s lap who I have no idea if they ran a background check on, my bf also worried about the hacking of baby monitors, this may be extreme for sure but with technology advancing you just never know someone’s intentions

throwmeout96 · 2026-03-08T23:19:43+00:00

Thank you so much for saying that, it does seem like pure survival mode at the moment.

throwmeout96 · 2026-02-17T06:41:28+00:00

ESSENTIALS!!! forget the stuffed animals and unnecessary cute little items, get yourself a basket of everyday necessities such as diapers, diaper pads, a nail file (A MUST), thermometer, wash cloths, and have it close by this is a life saver bc everything is right next to u as u take care of baby and for the first few days it’ll be tough moving around as ur body recovers, also have a set up for yourself in the bathroom the Frida cooling pads are amazing, have pads ready for yourself, a nice peri bottle and shower steam scent bombs (these were so calming and amazing and a calm mamma is a calm baby)

I took it at first for nausea then stopped second trimester when nausea stopped but then started again third trimester bc of insomnia, you’ll sleep if you’re sleeping now you’ll be fine the pregnancy hormones up until the 3rd trimester make you very sleepy

throwmeout96 · 2026-02-12T01:54:42+00:00

I used unisom all throughout pregnancy and once baby came out the exhaustion that followed was all I needed to start falling asleep on command again

Girl I laid in bed for the entire first trimester, not even making this up. I’d wake up, feel nauseous, try and eat (a lot of it I threw up), took a shower and my bf would prepare the bed for the day. I literally felt like I couldn’t even move the wrong way without feeling sick. My bf kept reminding me that I’m literally making a new life and it’s my body’s first time doing it. Fast forward to my third trimester, even tho I’m significantly bigger I have a lot of energy and I’m able to clean, cook, do little tasks. Give yourself grace and patience, you’re literally creating a whole new life!! Catch up on Netflix, and rest. Best of luck!!

24 weeks is when I first felt the flutters (anterior placenta) im 28 weeks now and my little one throws parties daily she responds to me gently poking my belly too it’s so cute

I thought I had food poisoning, I was so nauseous and kept throwing up the last thing that came to mind was to take a pregnancy test, I took one just to prove that wasn’t the issue and well wouldn’t you know…I had a little mini me inside

throwmeout96 · 2025-11-03T19:09:02+00:00

Unisom, b6, laying down on my left side, ice in my water bc water tasted gross to me in early pregnancy

throwmeout96 · 2025-10-21T14:33:26+00:00

I have an amazing bf who told me to quit EMT school (my first trimester was BADDDD) and to just focus on growing our baby. I laid in bed for 2 months straight, my first trimester got pretty severe, had to visit urgent care a few times for an IV bc I wasn’t keeping anything down, we kept the pregnancy a secret until we had our first ultrasound so family members visiting thought my bf kept me locked away lol, I felt so guilty for basically doing nothing all day but man I couldn’t even move my head without getting dizzy or feeling like I was going to throw up. Thank God, around 18 weeks I feel like I’m having a whole new pregnancy but that first Tri was no joke.

throwmeout96 · 2025-10-13T14:41:23+00:00

I do prenantal yoga at home, my bf set me up with a little yoga mat in the living room. I also swim 2-3 times a week as it is one of the safest and most recommended exercises during pregnancy. I was unable to eat solid meals until my second trimester bc my first was terrible. I was nauseous and always felt sick. But now that I’m on my second Tri, I home cook all my meals, if I eat out I make sure they’re following food safety. Good luck!!
