On Vaginal Exams During Labour

[ailbhe]

I have to examine you
But I will let you have
A sheet to drape over your knees,
A gooey latex glove

I have to examine you
There's no room for your mate
This stranger is a chaperone
Your husband can just wait

I have to examine you
It's not causing you pain
I think you're just too uptight
I'll start over again

I have to examine you
Come on, take off your pants
Get down there on the table
This student wants a chance

I have to examine you
You shouldn't want a choice
It's all for your own good, you know
It's good you've lost your voice

Kindly don't shit on my journal, and if you do, own up to it, fucking coward.

Very much agreed. Ever hear of the "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"? But if you are going to be rude and call someone names and belittle their feelings, at least own up to it and don't hide by an "anonymous".

Ailbhe: I've been through two childbirths. I haven't felt what you did, but I do understand the sentiment. Thanks for sharing.

amen!

Anonymous Coward, if you're still reading this, I must say that that was a pretty disgusting specimen of trollery. If you *must* drop by random journals to kick people when they're down, at least have the courage to own your words.

And Ailbhe, for the record I think you're doing a wonderful job of living with a very hard situation, and neither burying your head in the sand nor wallowing in misery.

Nice that someone who apparently is an "authority" on childbirth and delivery can't be bothered to sign their post.

Stupid cow.

I've never gone through childbirth, but I would never, ever compare your situation with anyone else's. They're all different.

I have a lawyer for the League of Fucking Cowards on the phone asking for you, said something about defamation of character and a libel suit.

(Oh, and http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=66&view=full is probably relevant. As is http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=23&view=full.)
