What a good husband ;)

psh. you tell him to go shoot a 9 pound child out of his wiener without any drugs. see how that goes

This guy is a douche. An epideral is a local anesthetic put in your spinal space to numb you. Its not in ur blood stream. You married a idiot Happy Mother's Day!

Let him watch a video of a woman giving birth. If possible a very detailed one. Add some information about an epidural and then hope he'll change his mind ;) If not, have an epidural anyway.

Thank you! Since this is my first delivery I have no idea how I'm going to tolerate birth, so thats why I have my birth plan which I realize could go the complete opposite I want it to or could go the way I want it to. I do refuse to get induced though. My OB is very much on board with what I want. She's amazing! Congrats on wanting to become a midwife. I'm going to go back to school to get my PA. :]

A real genius you married there.

Seriously people r really fucken stupid these days

Well, I hope he enjoys the gut-wrenching pain, as well as the other realities of pregnancy, such as the high likelihood you will shit yourself. Tell your man to educate himself.

Just do it and if he complains tell him he's not the one having the baby!

It's stupidity like this that holds us all back.
