Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

Make it stop
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

that's not so bad! my friends mother gave birth at home with a midwife and had no problems. sure you might think the noise will be a problem but at least it's not a front seat.

about 20 mins after I gave birth to my child, I looked over to see my husband bent over a table of all the metal forceps, towels and a huge metal bowl. He was using some sort of metal probe he found and was poking and prodding my discarded placenta that was in the bowl. He was like "come here look at this!"

That couldn't be that bad. I really don't see how this is a FML.

when my son was born my dr insisted on me being induced. when I went in to be induced I was given all the mess and they broke my water. I wasn't progressing fast enough for my drs liking and ended up with a c section because she had dinner plans she couldn't miss and apparently she couldn't pass me on to another dr :/ unfortunately where I live we have a very high c section rate because drs are too impatient to be bothered with a child coming when it wants to rather than just cutting it out and being done with it. I am considering a home birth for my next child so that I can have a quicker recovery and be more aware since I won't be under as many meds. I was loopy for 4 days after my son was born because I had a bad reaction to the meds. I have a friend who recently had a home birth and everything went great. also only women who are low risk are candidates for a home birth. so if there are any complications they usually end up giving birth in a hospital. and c sections suck. they're painful and expensive. and make it very difficult to care for a newborn.

That is appalling and just the sort of unwarranted intervention that causes people problems. An emergency c-section is very safe but is still more likely to cause complications than a couple of hours extra labour. You can't cut a woman open without some risk of infection. That doctor should not be delivering babies if she can't stand to re-arrange her dinner engagements for them. She needs an office job or to be taking consultations by appointment. Babies don't keep appointments.
