My Wife is Due any time this Month any Tips for when I......?

Question

am inside the delivery room and what steps should I take to make sure my baby is safe in the Hospital and what are my rights????

Answer 1

Look after her, try not to make her swear at you too much and stay out of the way of the TRAINED PROFESSIONALS

PS
You have the right to vomit and faint at any time. They will ignore you.

Answer 2

Make sure you do whatever you can to help your wife get through her delivery!! Rub her back, give her ice chips, try to comfort her however you can!! Remember there may be times when she is really hateful of mean to you or even possibly say she hates you, but it is the pain talking!! Do not get mad at her, she will be back to her normal self as soon as it is over!!

You have every right to ask questions and have a say in what happens, who can take, or even 2nd guess a doc when it comes to your baby!!!

Good luck and Congrats on the baby!!!

the best thing you can do is be there and hold her hand. as for steps to make sure the baby is safe, the first thing i would say is make sure they put a monitoring bracelet on the babys foot at delivery. this device keeps track of the baby at all times. the day after my daughter was born the nurse chewed us out claiming that we had taken my daughters off. we have pictures of her all during the day where the bracelet was not even put on her at all. its nice to see a father that is so determined to do the right things. good luck and congratulations

The birthing center at our hospital was on 24 hour lockdown, everyone who entered had to be "buzzed" in. They also put an electronic sensor on the baby and if it was removed or left the birthing center an alarm sounded (we were near one of the exits and actually set of the alarm once by getting too close). The hospital we were at had a snack and beverage room for daddies, but others don't, so if you don't want to be forking over big bucks to a vending machine you may want to bring your own refreshments.

Answer 5

Be nice to your wife...she is enduring incredible pain to give you the most precious gift...so keep your patience in check! Do whatever she may ask, and then some. And bring Tic-Tacs...when i was in labor with my first child, my husband was trying to be nice and talk to me to soothe me, but all i could think about was how bad his breath smelled while he was leaning in towards me! :) The only mean thing i ever did say to him was "Your breath stinks! Get out of my face!". And, to answer the 2nd half or your question, you and your baby will be safe...most all hospitals now use the anklet security sensor on baby.

Answer 6

You don't have any rights that are different to any other situation but you do have privileges. Some of those include the privilege to be in the room to see the birth and support your wife during labor. If any of the attendants have a cold you can ask them to be removed from the room. That's about it.

Answer 7

be as supportive to your wife as possible even if she hates you in delivery help her with pushing and breathing and tell her it will be ok and that you love her and help when the baby is hear as much as possible that includes diapers and every hr waking up talking care of baby let your wife get lots of rest when home... always ask the dr's and nurses what they are doing when they take the baby out of the room ask ask ask be on top of things...

Answer 8

Huh? Most mature men who are about to be fathers DON'T come here and ask these questions. They already know by checking with the doctor, hospital, their wife (as in, what does SHE prefer since SHE is the one who will deliver the baby, NOT YOU), and common sense. What are your rights? Forget YOUR rights, buddy, this is about your wife and baby, not about YOU! You sound like some teen.
