Have Any Women Ever Gave Birth Without The Fathers There With Them?

Question

Hi, My Best Friend Babys daddy doesnt want to be there because he says it will make him Throw up seeing a child be born, and it will make him sick if he wants to cut the cord.

Answer 1

Well, up until the past few decades, fathers weren't even ALLOWED in the delivery room. So if you're asking if that'll be a problem for your best friend, it shouldn't be.

My husband was there, and I gotta say, he didn't do anything the nurse couldn't have done for me. Men are kind of usless in the delivery room. So it's not really a big deal.

Answer 2

First, by writting "My Best Friend Babys daddy" I am reading that thery are not married. Beyond the right and wrong of getting pregnant outside of the bonds of marriage, there are other issues with him attenting the birth or not.
In some states and hospitals, the father is asked to sign papers saying, yes, I am the father. In the pressure of the moment, they ofetn do. This is good, make him take own up to it, BUT if there is an doubt in his being the father, she shouldn't want him to claim so.
Babies, when they are born are not the cute little bundles of joy we see in the movies. They are gooey, bloody and their heads look funny. It can make some people sick to be asked to hold it or cut the cord.
As a military man, I have not been at but one of the births of my children. My wife will deliver without me this next child as I am deploying yet again in less than a month.
She will have her mom come up and the hospital staff is usualy great at supporting a mom when dad is not there.

Answer 3

As a father of 3 i have been there each time my children were born i mean i wa sthere when they were conceived and i don t have to go through 9 months of carrying the baby and all so i feel it i sonly fair if the man goes and sees the birth of his baby ....tell him not to look be there for emotional support and if he still refuses look for that man not to be around for the child he's selfish

Answer 4

Yes, my husband hasnt been there and he isnt gonna be there when i have my little girl (our 1st girl) in a week or 2 and it hurts alot to have the one you love the most not there with you, but if that is the only reason why he dont wanna come in there with her then he doesnt have to watch, he could stand beside her holding her hand.

Answer 5

My first daughter's father wasnt there but I had his mother there and all my family. Sometime things happen. But my second daughter's father who is my fiance was there and believe me he is the same way he thought he was gonna throw up and he said it was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. Maybe he will change his mind

Answer 6

My son's father was not there for the birth at all. He did not even get to meet his son until he was exactly 1 month old. Things happen.

Answer 7

I didnt have my childs father with me when our second was born...i told the doctors and security not to allow him in the room. even with our first he slept through it. i did have my mother with me though. its nice to have someone there to help you think of other things while you are trying to push an eight pound watermelon out of a hole the size of a lemon :)

Answer 8

Hubby was in the military and missed one....

but if your friends man can't handle what will be going on, he should not be forced. Maybe he can be educated about what to expect and he will change his mind. Not everyone can stomach this

Answer 9

If she wants him to be there, he should be there to hold her hand if nothing else. He doesn't have to look anywhere there's something he might not want to see and if he doesn't want to cut the cord, somebody else can do it..

Answer 10

All the time. My grandpa was in vietnam when my mom was born. Its okay if he doesn't wanna be there he doesn't need to be in the baby's life.
