I was abused in my childhood, and I'm not going to share any of that here because no one wants to read about that even though that's the first thing that pops into my mind when you ask the question. So I'm going to go with a more lighthearted answer:
My oldest child was very large at birth, 10 lb 12 oz. Coupled with that, he was turned the wrong way (not breech, I can't remember the proper name for it, but he was facing up instead of down). I believe it's cheerily referred to as "sunny-side up", but what it means for mom is potentially hours of miserable pain and pushing. It took me 4 hours to push him out, and his head was visible for that whole time. My husband got excited when he first saw the head and kept coaching me, "you're almost there, you're doing so good, you're almost there". After the first half-hour or so I realized what a horrible lie that was. Yet he continued to say it for the entire 4 hours and I never told him to shut up, which I think shows remarkable restraint on my part.
