She continued by explaining that the pain she was experiencing was “unbearable” but that, due to a heart condition, she was unable to undergo an epidural.

“During an awful contraction I said ‘Jesus fing Christ.’ My doctor looked at me and said ‘please don’t use the lords name in vain,’” she wrote. “I quickly responded with ‘go f yourself’. My doctor didn’t say much for the remainder of the birth.”

After the woman had given birth and they had started their little family, the woman recounted how her husband advised her that it would be wise to apologize to the doctor, given that she’d cursed at him.

Despite initially hesitating, the woman explained she she is now grappling with a sense of guilt and is thinking about sending an apology note to the hospital.
