Labour Pains

[minerva]

A married couple having their first baby were invited to make use of a new

machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labour pains to the

Baby's father.

 

Both were happy to try it.

 

The pain transfer was set to 10 percent but the husband felt nothing so the

doctor increased it to 20 percent. The father said he still felt fine and

his blood pressure was normal. He invited the doctor to kick it up to 50

percent.

 

Still no reaction.

 

The doctor was amazed and slowly transferred all the pain until the wife

delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband and the

doctor were ecstatic.

 

When they got home, the gardener was lying dead at the gate

The body shop produced a book on birth around the world called Mamatoto in the late 80s. There was one really great idea I thought about trying, if only the hospital had had accessible rafters

 

the father sits in the rafters with a string tied round his balls and every time the mother has a contraction she pulls on it

 

can't remember where they do it though
