During Labor...

so I'm trying to process and get through all the little bits and pieces of labor & delivery stuff left on my phone before I start talking about the past four months and/or laying the groundwork for my eventual insanity plea. And I came across this little gem and knew I couldn't live a moment more without sharing it with all of you. Which was, naturally, my intention when taking the video in the first place. I thought to myself - dammit. My readers MUST KNOW THIS! And so here you are...

At Monmouth Medical Center, the staff encourages you to walk in this hallway that they refer to as Labor Row or similar. Walking is supposed to help the baby drop, and your cervix open, and possibly keep you out of the nursing staff's hair for a few hours.

And despite being very uncomfortable, etc - one cannot help laughing hysterically when walking in this hallway.

I will show you why.



Yeah. Yeah...that happens. It's like all their artwork was designed (by Georgia O'Keefe) to make you think about your vagina. Like you can be in labor and marching up and down that hallway for hours WITHOUT thinking about your vagina.

Amazing...

(p.s. I had a strong aversion to that scary red one that makes you think of your vagina as the gates of hell. Especially since I was giving birth to the antichrist...)
