When your wife is screaming like crazy as your progeny prepares to burst forth from her loins, it can be a bit hard to know what to say! Here is a handy list you can consult of the seven most helpful things to say to your wife while she is in labor:
- "Eve really screwed this up for you ladies, huh?": It always helps to remember pain is a consequence of sin.
- "All this blood is making me woozy, I need to lie down": Lying in a hospital bed next to her will let her know she's not alone.
- "My mom is here to record a video": Your wife will cherish this memory for a lifetime.
- "I'm sorry the epidural didn't work, but I believe in you": Words of affirmation go a long way in moments like these.
- "I'm almost to the hospital, the drive-thru was super slow": Your thoughtfulness in stopping for tacos will give her the strength to continue.
- "Just think, we'll do this five more times!": Imagining all of your future children together will give her the perfect image to focus on.
- "I'm sorry, this is all my fault": When all else fails, this is the winner.
With this list handy, the trial of labor will be easier for both of you! Congrats on the new baby!
