Labor Vs. Tummy Bug

Why I Would Rather Be In Labor Than Have A Tummy Bug

1. Labor is shorter. At least mine were. Both of my labors combined were shorter than this round of the tummy bug.
2. Hospital stay. I begged Jason to take me to the hospital... several times! No luck. At least there they can give pain medicines, fluids, and let me sleep.
3. Epidural... enough said.
4. The 10+ pound weight loss is permanent after a baby... all that weight just comes right back with the tummy bug.
5. Labor is productive... at the end, you have a beautiful new baby to take home with you. With the tummy bug, nothing.
