Well, there was a case where the mother - in - law was overly critical during the pregnancy. She would comment on the mother's weight gain and diet all the time. When it came to the birth, she showed up uninvited to the hospital and started making demands on the medical staff, causing chaos and making the mother extremely anxious during the already stressful birth process.
Well, I heard of a case where the monster in law had very superstitious beliefs. When the daughter - in - law was about to give birth, she insisted on some strange rituals in the hospital room. She brought in all kinds of herbs and started burning them, which not only violated the hospital rules but also made the pregnant woman extremely uncomfortable and anxious. This really affected the birthing process negatively.
One horror story I've heard was about a mother - in - law who constantly criticized her daughter - in - law's cooking. No matter what was made, she would find faults, like the food was too salty or not cooked enough, even when it was perfect. It made the daughter - in - law feel really bad and stressed in her own home.
Well, in Norse mythology, Fenrir, the great wolf, had a rather significant 'birth story'. Loki was the father of Fenrir. Fenrir was born among the gods, and they immediately sensed his power and the threat he would pose. As he grew, his strength became more and more evident, and his birth was sort of a foreshadowing of the chaos he would bring in the future. He was a monster not just in form but also in the destruction he was destined to cause.
My partner's mother, a real 'monster in law', was extremely possessive of her son. She would try to interfere in every little decision we made as a couple, from what we ate for dinner to how we decorated our home. It led to a lot of arguments between me and my partner, and it took a long time for him to see how controlling his mother was.
One horror birth story could be a situation where there were extreme complications during labor, like a prolapsed umbilical cord. This means the cord comes out before the baby, cutting off the oxygen supply. Another could be a mother having a severe hemorrhage right after the baby was born. It was a terrifying situation as the medical team had to act very quickly to save the mother's life.
Sometimes, it might be necessary to limit contact for a while. If the situation is really bad and all attempts at communication and setting boundaries have failed, taking some time apart can give everyone a chance to cool down. But this should be a last resort and done in a way that doesn't completely sever the relationship. You can still be civil when you do see them again in the future.
One example could be in the story 'My Little Monster Friend'. In this story, a monster is born in a colorful and friendly land. The birth is shown as a happy event, and the little monster is welcomed by other friendly creatures. It's all about friendship and the joys of a new life starting.
One horror story could be when an innocent gun owner had their firearms confiscated under a red flag law due to a false accusation from a spiteful neighbor. The owner had no history of violence or mental illness but still had to go through a long legal battle to get their guns back.
There are cases where the equipment at the birth center malfunctioned. For example, the fetal heart rate monitor stopped working during labor. This caused a great deal of panic as the medical staff couldn't accurately monitor the baby's condition. The mother was extremely worried that something might be wrong with her baby and she didn't feel safe in the birth center anymore.
In some free birth horror stories, the mother might experience extreme pain and distress without the option of pain relief. Also, if there are any postpartum complications like retained placenta, it can be very dangerous as there is no medical team on standby to handle such issues.
