I know it's all you breeders' greatest moment of your life and all that and I appreciate that shit, I really do, but it doesn't change the fact that childbirth is gross as all balls.

Somehow, I didnt notice the gross part at all.

That it is.  But when it's your own offspring being born, you can look past it.  To a certain point anyway.  When Tommy was born I had to ask them 3 times to get the damned afterbirth out of my sight.

Many animals eat it.

It might be a great moment in my life but what I find gross is the smell :puke:

I'd be the worst husband.

Preggo chicks totally creep me out sexually so that's 9 months of abstinence right there, and after witnessing Junior's official league-endorsed helmet popping through it like Earl Fucking Campbell, I don't think I could approach that roast beef platter for a year.

Better off sticking with spayed cats.

Our house cats always gobbled it right up. nomnomnom

I believe for a while it was trendy in America for couples to cook it up and eat it at home.

To a rare extent, but what a lot of people like to do is take it home and bury it under a tree, for various goofball holistic/Wiccan/Birkenstock reasons.

Actually had a big problem with that once; charged someone for sneaking that shit out against policy;  the mother and kid were both Hepatitis positive, so it was theft of biohazardous material.

Weirdo. Pregnant women are sexy.

Eh, no.  If they are still hot, it's in spite of being preggers.

Then you're a better man than I, because I certainly noticed how gross it was.

Sigh - I guess I get to go through that one more time in a few months...

Dogs eat their own vomit. Nothing special about dumb animals eating their own afterbirth. It's what dumb animals do. They eat shit.

They asked me to hold one of her legs back while she was pushing.  I started to ask if they were short-staffed or something, but I had already been judged by room full of women (nurses & my wife) over some innocent yet somehow offensive jokes I made.  So I didn't want any more judgment. 

I kept telling myself "don't look down, don't look down" but I looked down.  Up until that point I never understood why men fainted during delivery.  I wouldn't say I was actually close to fainting, but my knees did get a little weak and I was a little lightheaded.

Still, I think it was the sheer weight of emotion over what was happening that did it to me rather than the grossness that affected me.  I could put the stretching & whatnot out of my mind, but for some reason the afterbirth sitting there in the pan took some getting over.

The only one I remember was me complaining about how the pregnancy had been a drag on me because I kept needing to turn up the TV volume to drown out the sound of her throwing up from morning sickness.  Women

Cards finally won one last night.  I think I caught the Raz bug, because I watched all the Texas games and they lost, yet last night I was too busy to turn the game on and they won.  I want to watch tonight but I know I shouldn't.
