[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the 1950s, you would have been knocked out, and Dad would  be waiting in the lobby or even at home until called. He would  see you next in a beautiful gown and makeup on. You'd emerge  from the hospital 5 days later in a beautiful outfit with a baby wrapped in the blanket. No breastfeeding either- cans of formula, a night nurse so you can sleep  and lots of lovely pictures of your  new family with your wedding ring prominently shown. Please tell me that's not what you want, right? [/quote]

DP but the "Betty Draper special" was my dream birth plan. Unfortunately, they won't do it anymore or put you under general for a scheduled c. Breastfeeding is over rated and night nurses are amazing. So yeah, for me your scenario was EXACTLY what I wanted. Sounds amazing. Not modest just zero interest in the birth, "experience."[/quote]

Eek. There’s a reason all those elderly women have pelvic issues and needed bladder meshes and such. Doctors were just pulling babies out by forceps. Women were under twilight sleep.

My grandmas had to stay in the hospital for 10 days each time. Hell no. I was ready to check out asap and waiting 24 hours was awful. Those nurses woke me almost hourly all night and day. I think I would have had a mental breakdown going 10 days without sleep. [/quote]
