Babe…
Yes my dearest?
I think the painkillers have kicked in.
That’s good! ๐so relieved to hear that…
Oh… maybe I spoke too soon…
Aww?!?!
I dunno but it’s not as intense. But I can still feel… something… but it’s not debilitating pain…
That’s good…
I don’t think I can give birth naturally.
Then don’t?
But I’m scared of a caesarian…
Hmmmm… why don’t we get a surrogate?
NO!!!
Why not?!?!
I just gave this whole speech about what’s the point of me bleeding every month if I don’t have a baby?!?!
Okay… ummm… what do u wanna do?
Hang on. Lemme ask AI…
…
…
…
Babe I might need an epidural.
Okay?
And these days they can ultrasound the spine beforehand…
That’s good?
Yeah. Okay so that’s our birthing plan.
I don’t want a caesarian I wanna push naturally but I also want an epidural.
Of course love. Whatever you want. Whatever you’re comfortable with.
I… don’t want… a water birth…
That’s okay?!?!! ๐ ๐ ๐
I just don’t think that’s comfortable for me.
I think I want to give birth standing up.
Oh?!?!! ๐ฅด๐ฅด๐ฅด
Have u seen those birthing videos where the woman is holding onto a beam on the ceiling?
Noooooooo?!?!?!?!! ๐ ๐ ๐
Okay well that’s a thing. Apparently women used to just hold onto a tree branch and give birth.
Uhuh… ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ
Is this TMI?!?!?! Do u want me to stop??!?!
No! No! My love, keep going ๐
I want to hold onto something and give birth standing up.
Okay… I’ve decided you can hold onto me and I will hold you while you do that.
Hahahahhaahh! ๐คฃ I don’t know if that’s happened before. Let me ask AI.
…
…
…
Oh yes babe, people do it! Just need to discuss with Doctor and Midwife.
Then Imma let you hold me for support when you give birth!!! ๐ช
I think you’ll be good too cos you’re strong.
I AM!! ๐๐๐
… oh wait I can’t do that with an epidural.
Oh…
It’s okay then I don’t need an epidural.
ARE U SURE?
Yes I’d rather stand up holding onto you and looking into your eyes while I push.
Awww… ๐ฅนโค๏ธ
So we’re giving birth together.
You’re holding me up. We maintain eye contact. Gravity helps the baby fall down. Doctors and midwives on standby for the catch.
Hahahahhahaha… ๐ ๐ ๐
If I get tired it transitions into a supported squat.
Okay?!
Because I’m very mindful about my back. I don’t think lying on a bed will help my back at all. Maybe during contractions but the actual push I wanna be standing up or squatting.
Yes love. I’ll be there with you 100%
Awwwww ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ
That’s a good birthing plan. I’m happy with that. How will you take leave from your job?
I’ll work it out with my staff, don’t worry about it.
So… the baby is born in Australia then.
Of course?
It will not be a Korean citizen.
Hahaha… I’m not a Korean citizen?! Of course the baby will be Australian!
Okay… well… they are still eligible for a Taiwanese passport because of me.
Oh? I didn’t know that.
Ha… so it will be Taiwanese-Australian.
You mean, Australian-Taiwanese.
Mmmm…
And Korean.
Lol but not with a passport!
Right…
The baby will not be “ABC” — Australian Born Chinese — it will be “ABTK” — Australian born Taiwanese Korean.
HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
WHY NOT “ABKT”
Omg does it really matter which country is mentioned first?!
Yes!!!
Hahahahahahaha ๐คช๐โค๏ธ
