Would you be mad if your husband missed his child being born? My wife's due date is in 3 weeks from now and I would never miss it. I'm there for her. What does your husband being for the child birth has any effect on you?

Depends on the reason. If he was out golfing, hell yeah I'd be mad.

I would be really upset if my husband had missed our son's birth. He would have never missed it for the world...he also video taped it for me (I asked him to).
I had a really hard birth (48 hours of labor), and to be honest, I had no idea who was even in the room when my son was born. I just remember gripping the bed rails with my eyes shut tight just wanting it to be over with. It was the before and immeadiatly after that I really needed him.
I was so much more relaxed to know that my husband was there to make sure the baby was ok and to talk to the doctors for me, as I wasn't all that aware of what was going on in the first few moments after birth. It's important that a woman stay as relaxed as possible during labor and delivery. It reduces the stress on the baby, and makes for a safer birth.
I was totally helpless for days, and the only way I could get through it was knowing that my husband was there for me. It made me feel safe knowing that I was not alone. When you are in the worst pain you have ever felt in your life, the last thing you want to do is be alone. It's devistating both emotionally, and psychologically.
My husband and I are also a team. We are in this life together. We made the baby together, it is only natural that we see it into the world together and continue to raise it together. We want our son to know that we are, and have always been there for him. From the day he was born.

When I was in labour my husband was working and couldn't get off earlier then what he did, he made it but If he didnt at the time of the birth I would of been pissed but I understand that he couldn't get off work or else he would of been fired (at his work there is only 2 people working at a time and over night it is really hard to get someone to cover half way through your shift). So my answer is if there was a good reason I would have no reason to be upset but if it was for some stupid reason such as he was at a mates house or something like that i would be pissed.

In my time the dad had no part in birth till home. Watched my grandkids dads come out of delivery room some in tears. Most special thing you will ever witness. So if i was giving birth and my husband wouldn't go in delivery room with me i would really be unhappy. Would understand only if he had to work and couldn't get away. Hang in there your wife has a special man.

i would most definetly be mad unless its something he couldnt control at all. its his child too and he is the love of my life and he helps get me through everthing else thats difficult in life, so why wouldnt he have help me through the labor? his supportive words encouraged me even tho i acted like a mad woman, looking back on it he was wonderful. he was just as overwhelmed as me when our son was born (we didnt know the sex) and he had to sit down because he almost passed out about 2 minutes after he was born. i know he was just as moved as i was, it was an amazing experience i would have never wanted him to miss.

it would depend some things cant be avoided like deployment. the military doesnt send you home for the birth. many military wives give birth alone
for me it would mean alot to have him there but if for some reason hes not i have my mom who would be there
my husband may not be there next time because we have a four year old son

it would upset me, yes, but depending on the job he has he may not have a choice - my husband is active duty military, and if uncle sam calls him in late november/early december, then there's nothing that i can do about it....she should be glad that you get a chance to be there! good for you!

yes i would be upset, if my husband had to quit his job to be with me while delivering our child then he better quit. but obviously i only say that cuz we have actually done a good job of saving up
