Kids - The hell starts from day 1

Ki had a bad flu, but he played like nothing was wrong.




Kiki with "boobs".

He puked all over my mummy's bed on Saturday night. According to mummy he slept soundly after. I wasn't around to see it all happen because I was busy buying the monkey-sweet thingy.

He was back bouncing all over the place when he woke up in the morning. Kids. They're amazing.

On the other hand, getting the kid out is hell. How do I know? I was talking to my colleague about childbirth. My mum mentioned it to me before but I don't think I ever wrote it down so here it goes.

The horrible things no one tells you about childbirth:
1) In order to inject the epidural, you'll have to turn to your side, whilst in extreme pain, and let them jack up the huge needle up your freaking spine.

2) After pushing like crazy, the doctor will push placenta out of the womb. This means he'll press your tummy and literally squeeze it out.

3) They stitch up "down there" after.
-> Which you'll have to then understand how painful it must be to pee. And how are you ever going to have sex again properly?

4) Before the sticthing up they'll inject you (again). Just so you won't really feel the pain while it's going on. But from what I hear, it still hurts like crazy after.

5) It's been said that caesarean birth is not very good. Not sure why. I have heard that doing it this way will give a bad scar below the belly-button, and one may not be able to carry heavy items without feeling pain at the womb area.

Please tell me if technology has made it any easier? I seriously doubt it though.

I guess kids are great. As long as they aren't your own.

When the day comes for me to want to have one, I'll try not to remember all these horrible truths. Heehee!
