I beleive that he has just as much right being there as you do. I looked at my wife differently for the first few months. Standing there looking at her box that was about 7 times the size of what it should have been and blood and....well you get the idea. It was kind of sickening in a way but necessary. Another thing I realized is that I am stuck with her for 18 years. I think that is what most guys have a hard time with. When you have kids especially your 1st you get the feeling that you are chained down for life. You are to. After she got healed up and we started messing around again it didn't phase me in the least.

I had my husband in the delivery room with me, and I think that it actually created a different kind of bond between us. I mean, he respected me before, and always treated me very well. There is just something so magical about watching a new life come into the world. Your man gains a new level of appreciation for you after it's all said and done! I also think that it will give him an even stronger bond with the baby!

some human beings, adult men and ladies alike, can't shield the sight of blood and/or human beings in discomfort and such. could he ideas being in there till you bypass into transition and have the toddler so as that he can assist you throughout the early and energetic levels of exertions? If no longer, according to probability evaluate hiring a doula and/or confirm you have somebody else for help. My husband would be with me yet i understand he's going to have a stressful time throughout the beginning section additionally. He additionally instructed me that if I had to have a c-section (the two deliberate or emergency) he could have not have been given any undertaking in any respect if i wanted general anesthesia quite than the spinal because of the fact he's is conscious that it nevertheless isn't friendly even while numbed. If that grew to become into the case he would not have the skill to be there yet he positioned what i could choose as first precedence. as a result, while you're happy with it then i could say that your frineds would desire to appreciate that childbirth isn't uncomplicated for mom's or dad's. It would not make him any much less of a guy or father in my view. Take care, stable success, and congrats on your 2d toddler!!

My husband was in the delivery room when I had a c section. Since I was having twins, and I wasn't sure if my swelling would create problems, I told him to folllow the boys once they left the delivery room. Good thing because I had issues with my swelling.

It's a good idea. I was present for the birth of all four of my sons who are now 20, 17, 14, and 9. It was AWESOME. The nurses were great. I cut all four cords and put the clamps on. After the nurses did the initial checkup, I wrapped them and handed them to my wife. She nursed them in delivery room.

My husband was in the delivery room with me. It didn't effect him much, his was paying more attention to the baby coming out, not what I looked like. I thought he was going to freak out when he saw me get cut down there, but when I asked him what he though about it he said he was paying more attention to what color the baby's hair was, not what it looked like down there.
I think it's only right to have him in there....he helped create this life too :) He should be able to see the birth of his child. Also, it helps calm you knowing that someone you love is there to comfort you...at least it did for me.
If you are uncomfortable with it though, you can always tell the nurses that you don't want him in there.
Good luck!

I have been with my wife in the delivery room, holding her hand and sharing the pain (She squeezed hard my hand), and when it was over, I was the happiest man on earth, seeing her relieved, and given birth to a healthy beautiful son (He'll be soon 28). I just bent on her and kissed her face tenderly. Unfortunately the same doctor did not allow me to be there when my daughter was born. He was afraid of some birth complications that may lead to child death, and did not want me to suffer. She gave birth to a healthy as well daughter (now 21). Still today regret I wasn't there.

I was in the delivery room for all three of my children's births it was one of the most precious moments a husband and wife can experience together. Just being there with my wife and welcoming our children to the world together is priceless. And being able to hold their little hands and saying i love you for the first time is breathtaking. Therefore i recommend it to all new husbands and fathers

My husband was there and cut the cord. But we said before hand that he was to stay up near the head of the bed because I had a good friend that got so freaked out about having sex with his wife after seeing their baby born that he suggested that my husband not watch it. I have to say though that my husband also did not like the fact that there were other men poking around down there! lol He looked like he wanted to fight! lol

I always had my husband in the delivery room, if they love you for the way you are, they won't care about anything being different
