I talked to him about the whole "Waa waa" thing again and told him to stop it or I'd break his toes, go into labor, then come out with 'waa, waa, I missed the baby being born because I was being a jerk, waa.' He gave me his "Oh shit" face, realizing that I'm at the point where I really don't feel like playing games because I'm getting terrified.
I want to find another doctor, but I don't have that option. I like my MIL (excepet the I'm-your-best-friend-now thing, although I get why she's like that), but I will bar everyone from entering the room. Knowing me, I'm going to get angry and say something she'll really not like to hear.
The LAST thing you need is MORE stress in your life while trying to usher a new little person into the room. Don't feel like a bitch just cos you're firm on what you what (nah, NEED).
The more you stress, the more you clench up and that's just going to make the whole laboring process that much worse. Make it clear that what you need during labor is to be as relaxed and focused as possible and that YOU know what those things are to get it accomplished and they need to trust your judgement.
Also, I'm one of those tough cookie women that says "Suck it up" on a regular basis but do not let anyone tell you that you "wimped out" just because you decided to have pain medication. Having medicine is not failure, it's what some people need in order to have the baby safely and timely. Pain is an entirely personal experience that does not have a universal scale.
