[P_chan]

where do babies come from? Hehe just kidding, couldn't resist.

[TheNoNamedOne]

where do babies come from?

American babies come from loud screaming drama queen American women in labor who care only about their own discomfort.

Japanese babies (and in some cases 'Halfs') come from polite courteous and quiet Japanese ladies in labor who want to and care about making a good environment for everyone around.

[dk]

Dude, you're getting sarcasm everywhere. My freaking keyboard is dripping with it. Knock it off man.

[TheNoNamedOne]

Ok, but I do believe that -- for the most part.

[Tempestuous]

You know, I have participated in coaching quite a few American women through labor, as well as delivered my own children, not ONCE have I been in the room with a screaming woman.
Perhaps you have watched too many movies? :)

I dont know...with number one child my wife didnt cut her finger nails and squeezed my hands so hard they bled. I guess I was the one yelping there.:cursing:

Number two and number threee children she did a pretty fair imitation of a lion roaring, but at least I remembered to have her cut her fingernails<3

Hello, I originally joined the forum almost a month ago. I was trying to read about life in Okinawa from as many sources as possible. I am negotiating a contract that will take me to Okinawa for years. The money and opportunities appear to be worked out. If all continues to proceede, I will be on the island in late January. Then I will have more to contribute.

Don't sweat it. Not all posts will get a direct response from the masses. However, that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't interesting and/or valuable contributions to the discussion.

On another forum, I was calling myself "thread killer" for awhile. It seemed that every time I posted, that particular thread died. Eventually, I got out of my slump ;)

American babies come from loud screaming drama queen American women in labor who care only about their own discomfort.

Japanese babies (and in some cases 'Halfs') come from polite courteous and quiet Japanese ladies in labor who want to and care about making a good environment for everyone around.

I was hoping you were being sarcastic. Here on Okinawa, both on and offbase I see these "unmothers" walking around in there booty-club clothes pushing a stroller or towing a toddler. :scared:

" loud screaming drama queen American women in labor who care only about their own discomfort."
hmmm both of my children were delivered without nary a peep! And the first was without any meds at all! Maybe I was just too embarrassed to scream (I sure wanted to) Or maybe it was because when I did my first hospital "maternity tour" there was a woman screaming bloody murder and it scared the hell out of me! I was not going to be that crazy lady! (Although I do still get blamed for throwing a lotion bottle at my better half some time during my hormone driven pregnancy) :P

[Richard Burns]

**** the dumb shit. As far as I'm concerned a chick has the right to scream as loud as they want when giving birth. Their comfort is all that matters at that point in time and rightfully so.

Very interstesting, first times I post here I felt I was "attacked" by someone here, so I can understand what you mean, but you gotta be yourself and just keep trying and mostly relax and not take things personal. My composition skills suck most of the time, but I dont stop because of that.
