The Great Epidural Showdown
Our story begins with a group of friends excitedly meeting Sarah’s newborn baby, eager to support her journey into motherhood. But when the conversation turns to Sarah’s birth experience, things take a dramatic turn. Sarah reveals she didn’t have an epidural, which annoys the narrator, who feels some moms brag about enduring pain. A sarcastic comment about a ‘medal for pain’ is made, and the debate on epidurals begins. Sarah insists she wasn’t shaming anyone, but the friends feel differently. The gathering ends on a sour note, and Sarah’s husband later sends a text defending her. The friends discuss the situation, concluding that while Sarah may not have intended to shame them, she still came across as superior. Now, they’re left questioning if they’re the a**holes or if it’s Sarah who’s in the wrong. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this dramatic situation… ️♀️
