Ah, another perfect celebrity with another "perfect childbirth". According to Ryan Thomas, the ex-onscreen-boyfriend/real boyfriend of Tina O'Brien (AKA Sara Lou Platt), his ex-onscreen-girlfriend/real girlfriend enjoyed a flawless childbirth experience.
Apparently she didn't need ANY meds and it as all over in two and a half hours. Bully for her - my sister was in there for three days on her first - hence why I quash any maternal instincts on impact. Between the tocophobia and rampant emetophobia (did you know babies can spew up to 15 times a day?!), it's probably best if no one impregnates me.
Of Tina's childbirth, Ryan said: "It was the perfect labour. No gas and air, no epidural. She was just on all fours going for it. She was glowing afterwards. Any man that reckons he's on the same level as a woman after having a baby can forget it. I don't think a man could deal with that." That's refreshing. People need reminding that most babies just don't materialise from a surgeon's incision.
Ryan also came across with this handy piece of advice: "Don't touch a woman in labour unless you want trouble. I did once and Tina looked at me like she was going to bite my hand off!"
She might want to bite his head off after globalising the "going for it on all fours" visual.
