I am 9 months along and the baby is due July 22. this is my 2nd child but my hubby's 1st. he wants to be there through it all. Well i have explain alot to him and he asks alot of questions. Which is good, I even went as far as going to Lamaze. :D
That was intresting, i know i learned alittle more and he said he learned alot. But the videos etc were really tuned down, and most of the women did epidurals.
My first i didn't use a thing, and I plan again to do the same thing. But i figure every one that has been in labor or partners there during it, could help me out.:D
the reason I ask this was last nigt we were watching the Discovery health channel and was all about women in labor. Well you know how graphic thy are, i watched my husband turn white and i mean he be looking like Casper white and almost passed out. don't get me wrong he cut his hand open with the chain saw a few times and thought that was cool, never changed color. I had to change the channel. plus he is my lamaze partner and only person allowed in the room.
So please help, any thing to cure him of almost passing out would help or any advice would help.

thanks every one.
:D

give him a straw and tell him to suck it up :D
honistly there is no true way to prepair for it that i know of due to the fact that
its right there in front of you
its human
its YOUR wife
what on gods earth is that smell

i am around everything that can happen to a human body in any way shape or form,live or dead,

and 2inches from it to take pictures :flipoff2:
it just never bothered me.
you are goint to have to make sure that he knows that you need him to be there for you, that he can not give up or walk out the room cause you are counting on him.


people can handle anything when they know that someone they love needs them ;)

Tell him to nut-up and stop being a wus.:D

I don't understand how folks get squeemish about that stuff, particularly folks that can handle the sight of gore/blood.

Just tell him that he helped put it there, it's his job to help git it out :D

Seriously, he'll either do fine or he won't. He'll either be a help or a pain in the a$$. Either way, baby's gonna make an entrance. You got enough on yer mind without worrying about what you can't change. Good ruck on the delivery :beer:

Give me his phone number I should be able to scare him into staying in the lobby. ;)

We took as many classes as we could with our son. And I swear to god, if I see that lady I will slap her upside the head. The videos, the diagrams, the fake ass easy labor stuff was BULLCRAP!! :laughing: All they did was show a bunch of 70's coochie. Nothing compared to how hard it really could have been. I believe in preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.

LMAO
isn't that the truth. I just feel bad for him, he been wonderfl through it all. I havehad by the book prego. All aches pain and I am on pills still for severe morning(sp?) sickness. Also on iron pills my iron een really low since the 3 month. this been a job t make it through,lol
yesterday he was going to take a half a day off work. we went to the doc's and found out I was 2CM. holy crap did he freak. e called in work tld them he wasn't coming in, explain why and drove me nuts all day. But i will have to say he said he was getting scared and worrying about me being home alone all day.
So I try to explain that it was oky etc, etc.
But he is stubborn and just seem to lt me be. he carrysthe cell on him 24/7 and calls 10+ times a day to check up on me. i am about ready to duct tape him to a tree. :laughing:

HAH!!! A woman that understands duct tape! So just duct tpe him to an I.V. pole and roll him to wherever you need him to be. Viola! :flipoff2:

Tell him to read a few of our posts and he'll be fine! :laughing: We could start another mucus plug thread?? :idea: I'm still disappointed I didn't get to see Rose's. Eric kinda dropped the ball on that and didn't take pics of any of that cool stuff for me! :mad:

Ok...he can either handle it or not. Some people deal well with gore, some don't. Chances are once its actually happening it he'll be fine. :roxy:

When its your own you look at if differently, so I bet he'll be fine. If he can't handle a little blood, and after birth what makes you think he's going to be able to deal with being puked on while changing a shitty diaper at 3:00 AM

No way you can prepare him for it. I was a little woosy after they gave the wifey the epidural and asked to used the restroom. They thought I was going to faint. I never was able to convince them that mainly I just really, really, REALLY needed to pee as I hadn't done so in several hours :D They're like, "Sit down & put your head between your knees". "No, you don't understand, bursting BLADDER!!!". Then, they wanted to give me juice :rolleyes: Finally, I said, I'm NOT thirsty, I'm not faint, I'm not sick. I just REALLY REALLY need to urinate!!!" They finally got the hint & I was much better. The birth was a breeze for me, though the wifey wasn't too happy. It doesn't really get that gross until the very end & then you're just so happy about the kid you don't notice anything :)

Just tell him not to look... It's easy to focus on you and help you without having to watch what's going on down there. Tell him to focus on your face the whole time. Of course, once the baby is born he's going to want to look at it so make him sit down first.

ROFLMAO

Duct tape is the best thing out there.
His grandpa did that to him when he was a kid. He pissed him off and grandpa duct taped him to a tree till his parents came home.
the stories i hear from his family, i hope and pray this lil girl doesn't walk in her daddy's shoes. I got 2 to handle for now, my 6 year old is active and my hubby can't sit still. So i m praying this on will be mellow or I will be buying stock in Duct tape.
For a quick fix...I shatter a pvc pipe nice size hole in it,runs water to my barn. alittle bit of plastic and lots of duct tape, kept her good till i could ge to the store and buy the stuff to repair it! :p

I think the scariest part of the whole thing was that, everything, everything I had ever cared about was in that room. All hinging on some "on call" doctor that I had never met before. I had my entire life in his hands. That part scared me the most.

However, once it happened, her water broke and were on our way I was STOKED! excited, yet very stable. I couldn't believe what was happening. And once I saw his head and face, I cried. It was amazing.

So all in all, don't stress over things that are beyond your control. Enjoy this time, because it only comes once for your child. And it's a great thing, nothing to be scared of at all.

I thought there was going to be a unique recipie in this thread....

:D

Did you tell him you may, very well, poo all over?

No man should enter the delivery room having not heard this.

Sounds like someone with some experience in that arena. :D I think I'm sticking with dogs.

Your should consider yourself lucky, at least he is not one of those guys with crotch cam. Most likely he will do ok. I was not sure how I would do, i made it through 2 :) you know what the funny thing is? your lady thinks she looks her worst going through it all, I never saw her more beautiful:)

He does his best. he asks the doc's every question that comes to mind and hovers over me makng sure i am okay.
he runs around telling people i am beautiful etc..etc, which i told him the other day. "How can i be sexy or beautiful when i waddle, can't bend over and have to roll outof bed? Plus i look like i just swallowed a whole watermelon!"
helughs and says because you are, every little thing makes you that way. i sat there looking t him like he had horns,lol
I explain abit about labor to him, my 1st time. and we have one agreement. i will not lock him out of the shower! :D
i spent 2+ in the sghower the first time, with the door lock. wouldn't let any one in. i just didn't want people near me. But i think this time it will b great. since we both agreed no one else was going to be in the room while i was in labor. and we call every one afterwards. the only thing I truely worry about is, he s very protective of me. if i yell out, he is right there asking if i am okay etc. if any one makes me cry, he gets upset. i am more worried that the doc might be having black eyes then any thing,lol

I reafd out loud to him every night from books and magazines about every thing, kinda our thing. i have tried to inform him alot, only part i do doubt is the last phase of labor. i think he migh pass out.... :laughing:

well hell...You let the cat outta the bag.......:flipoff2:
Your not suppose to spill that lil' info..It's my only weapon. when i get hungary in the middle of the night and don't wanna get outta bed. ;) :eek: :flipoff2:

Funny how everyone reacts differently to sitiuation. I was in the delivery room when my son was born. My wife had to under go a C-section, so things were a bit more graphic. Still didn't bother me though as I oberved everything... I can even handle the surgeries on TLC.

However, after the procedure was over and I had to leave the room, I passed out in the hallway... probably from all the excitement I had just gone through... who would have thunk? :confused:

All I see is that he really loves, you, and wants to make sure everything in your, and your child's life is perfect. It could be worse I think.

Congratulations on the impending child.

If you already think he's going to pass out, he probably will. I would make the Docs and nurses aware that he might go down so he doesn't damage his skull on the floor (saw a buddy turn white and crash when he hopped out of his chair).

I was stoked and couldn't sleep through her labor, so by the time the baby arrived we were both pretty delerious. I stayed topside with the wife until the Doc called me downtown to see the crowning and then to cut the cord - nothing on earth could compare.

You might consider the Epidural just so you help him after he hurls.

I hate needles,lol
I get near one and I go white. And i wiggle when i have o get blood taken. hell i will even admit. i am 24 and needles still make me cry,lmao
My husbnds the same way. When he cut his hand/finger with the chain saw i had o sit on his legs when they gve him a shot.
So that is outta the question.....:D


**Also does it worry you guys when your gf/wife the 9 months and labor. if she say it's alright. don't worry etc? I hve a habit of doing that and i was wondering if that made guys uneasy?:confused:

I kept trying to comfort the wife during contractions (standing bedside patting her) and she looked up and said "stop rubbing me, your making me sick" :D

I felt completely usless during labor, I guess thats why people on T.V. smoke and pace the floors. Our home video is pretty dayum funny (no video of the na-nay) were all joking around a goofing off in the hospital room - then there we are very serious and very tired looking for some reason.
