A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

911 what's your emergency?
Today, I gave birth to our first child at home. What was supposed to be a beautiful moment of us peacefully greeting our newborn, ended up with the cops knocking on our door. Apparently me giving birth sounds like a domestic dispute. FML

Hell no!
Today, my wife opted for a home birth with a nurse and her mother. Her mother is such a baby-feral, men-are-bastards, hippie feminist dragon that not only did she yell at me when I tried to be in the room, she has now pushed me out of the house. I ended up sat in my car with only one shoe and no phone. FML

Today, I was trying to get a good night's sleep before the huge exam tomorrow, which I'm extremely anxious about. The SAME night my neighbor below me is having a home birth. It lasted NINE HOURS. FML

Today, I found out that there's a very loud and frisky couple living above my bedroom, and a family with a crying baby living above my living room. At this rate, I'll end up sleeping in the bathtub in my own home. FML

Today, I gave birth to a baby girl. Where was my husband after the agony finally ended? Standing just outside the room, flirting with a nurse. FML

Today, I met my new upstairs neighbors. They have a four-month-old child and appear to be firm believers in the "let them cry it out" philosophy. The baby's room is right above mine. A few days of trying to sleep through this shit and I'll look like a Walking Dead extra. FML

Today, I gave birth, but my husband was late and got here just in time to cut the cord. He was hung over after celebrating his impending fatherhood all night. He missed the cord twice, cut it, then fell over, and wound up in the bed next to mine, with a hydrating IV and a bashed head where he hit it on the baby's cot. FML

Today, my sister came to stay with me in my apartment for the last few weeks of her difficult pregnancy. However she didn't tell me she was bringing her two dogs, her jackass of a husband, my bratty nephew, and an inflatable kiddie pool so she could have a natural water birth in my living room. FML

Oh no…
Today, I met my new upstairs neighbors and their 4 kids all under the age of 6. I met them due to all the thudding coming from upstairs. FML

my wife just had a water birth and she did amazing. it's not all that weird, how do you think babies were born before we had hospitals?

Well done Mrs Coyfish!

I would imagine in houses. Not apartments.

Oh please. Could you be more selfish? Your neighbors are probably over the moon with the prospect of welcoming a child soon and the least you can do is be happy for them. Go out for a walk and explore Eyjafjardarsysla (yeah, I just wanted to type that out) during the childbirth if you feel THAT uncomfortable.

The only problem with that is childbirths can take FOREVER. Have you ever watched 16 and Pregnant?

it's selfish to want to enjoy piece and quite in your own home? and idk if it's just me but I got the image of an apartment. if that's the case, wouldn't it be selfish of the couple knowing it would be a rather noisy ordeal?

#84: Yes I have watched that abominable show and I suppose I can see where OP is coming from. But personally, if I had a neighbor doing that, the noise/inconvenience would be the least of my concerns. I'd just be happy for them. #85: I inferred that too. Well unless this is an occurrence that takes place every 9 months, I don't see why OP should make a big deal out of it. But then again, like I said above, to each his own. Guess I have a higher tolerance for noise than OP.

I agree with 85. They obviously live in an apartment, condo or duplex. They should have been more considerate to their neighbors around them. And no, this won't be the least of their problems when the baby comes. If their baby is being too noisy and disrupting he peace of others, they will most likely get booted after getting a lot of noise complaints.

BFD. Could be a once in a lifetime experience for them so to be annoyed by it is downright ridiculous.

I suppose I'd be happy for my neighbours too, but it would be EXTREMELY loud, and unless my apartment was soundproofed, I'd pack my bags and get the hell outta Dodge for a little bit. But it's also not that simple, women don't plan a time to give birth, the freaking BABY gets to decide. So you'd have to pack a bag in advance and then have a place to go when the fat lady has to give birth.

Well, that must have been interesting. Also, something about the Icelandic language intrigues and amuses me. Does anyone else think that it looks like someone just smashed their palm on the keyboard, and called it a word? :P
