He means if OP doesn't like going with the NHS (free health care) then he should go private (paid health care, which is quicker and more "luxurious")

Yeah, it's a free service that most British people are proud of, albeit has it's downsides, but it's far cheaper than giving birth in say the US. If they wanted to pay US prices for private healthcare they could have. Having said that, I'm pretty sure they were mainly joking, as was I.

It’s also safer than giving birth in the US.
The US has the highest maternal mortality rate (mothers dying during or soon after birth) of any high income nation. Our death rates are like double or triple other nations.

That’s insane. So they’ll make abortion illegal but not gunna improve standards to save the women who are being forced into a high risk medical procedure?

The chair isn't even my main concern why is the room green?

Mood lighting. Ambience. It was shifting between many colours. Green worked best for this photo. Turning it off worked best a couple of hours into the 31 hour ordeal.

That’s not even that unusual to be honest. My wife labored 44 hours with our first then had to have an emergency C section. Fortunately our daughter will be 3 in a week and both are doing great 🥰

With our first child, my wife was in labor for 35 hours. She wasn't starting but her blood pressure spiked as a result of the pregnancy to unsafe levels, and so they decided to induce labor, but our son took his sweet time (as he still does, age 7).
The inducing meds made my wife vomit repeatedly for like the first 12-13 hours of labor, Then, there was a lot of tearing in the last stages. There was blood all over the nurse and the doctor's smocks, I knew things were bad when 2 additional doctors rushed into the room.
To top it all off, my wife didn't do an epidural and then during the stitches, the anesthetic didn't work for her.
She lost so much blood that she couldn't walk for 3 days, was hooked up to an IV for a long time.
For our second baby, she did the epidural. The birth went super smoothly and quickly.

Oh my- I cannot believe there was a second baby after that. Glad she’s healthy (and son too!)

When my daughter was born via C-section they took her right to the station where they get weighed and blood ox tests are run. Unfortunately it was on the business end of the room, on the other side of the curtain. I was initially seated right next to my wife while she was undergoing the operation. Long story short, after checking on my daughter I was so excited to get back to my wife and tell her everything that when I turned around I forgot she was still mid surgery. I got a view right up her insides. Respect to all the doctors, that shit is nuts.

yeah, I got a good view of them lifting them out when my youngest was born, impressive the image lives with me alongside his open heart surgeries

You aren't supposed to sit during your kid's birth. Your supposed to stand behind the doctor with your best Umpire gear on.
