oh, don't say that
I've got some vests for newborn size babies, and don't think they'll fit him anymore.
largest baby in our family before now was 8 lbs apparently; mine was forecast to be 8 and a half yesterday, so he's going to be a total porker.
I'm just hoping the scan was wrong.

He's gonna make a terrible mess of your vagina

Were you frigging yourself at the time?
It does have a tendency to put one off one's stroke.

EDIT My daughter was born by caesaren, it was pretty cool watching them cut my ex open, hold back the skin flaps with metal prongs and then pull her out like a chestburster in Aliens.

In real life gore is much more messy though, evolution needs to learn a thing or two from hollywood

I'm actually
quite interested in seeing the placenta :) not sure why.
And at the moment, I couldn't give a shit about how much my undercarriage is ruined, I just want the baby out. And an epidural.

Just make sure you take the right one home with you

Exactly
Take the epidural home and leave the baby at the hospital.

Trust me on this one, they won't take them back down the road to trade in for newer models.

I have heard that
it seems a bit crap really - you can get a dog put down if he shits and pisses everywhere, but with babies you're expected to clean up after them for 2-3+ years, with no options to get rid of them.
I'm hoping some sort of mothering hormones kick in PDQ once he's born, otherwise he's going to be given to my moronic sister who is so broody she's started sprouting feathers.
