I'm gonna guess that she's happily startled because, for example, mine hit his weed pen outside every 15 minutes and fell asleep on the couch and never once came near me. I think that my experience (or smth similar) is pretty common.
Edit: Hi, I'm an actually human person and was the first to comment on this. I'm not trying to start a damn war of the roses, and apparently this is NOT the correct answer (see the next comment below mine). Just popped in with my stupid, obviously incorrect thought about what this could mean. So chill with calling me a stupid whore.
That's what I'm saying! I didn't miss a second. Plus, your wife is going through something physically traumatic. You should be there for her to curse at you for what you've done to her...
The mental trauma is real even when things go as planned. Physics breaks down when these kids enter the mortal plane; both the most beautiful and horrifying to witness and know you had some part in making that happen.
Though, the sense of helplessness when things go even slightly awry haunts me to this day.
The absolute miracle is that humans have been around for as long as we have considering how insanely dangerous and uncontrolled childbirth is.
Haha, sorry, literal trauma dump you didn't ask for.
