I love that. I always say the more prepared you are for something, the less likely it is to happen. I may need to learn how to knit.

I thought the pushing-pooping analogy was very helpful. But then, it was not yelled at me. When I need to relax, I like reading National Geographic. I don't think that would have worked with having a baby for me, though, not when I wanted to push.

well both times i felt like i needed to poo...and i did. the first time i was argued with and they tried to drag me out of the bathroom, and knocked, banged and screamed at me that i ws going to have the baby, not go to the bathroom..guess what i needed to do. :
both times ive needed to right before pushing the baby out, and noo its not diarrhea. and its a completely different feeling and bboth are different pushes, for different areas.
