Expecting fathers: delivery room - yes or no?

Mr Douglas Levison

7/22/14 1:24pm

You are the first "man" I have ever heard of that has opted to leave the room.

slowhiteguy

7/22/14 1:26pm

my FIL was wheeled out, I think

fattycoug

7/22/14 1:46pm

yes

Mathlete

7/22/14 1:27pm

I was in the room. I would have caught the baby if given the chance.

"okay, honey...go long!"

Ashtrash

When we were discussing what we would need to take to the hospital I joked that

scottfunkel

7/22/14 1:49pm

Those seem entirely reasonable

Ashtrash

7/22/14 2:02pm

Wives never think we're funny. Why is that?

Almaden Cougar

7/22/14 2:04pm

It's all about timing. During labor, that joke probably doesn't seem as funny

Ashtrash

7/22/14 2:09pm

It is a mystery. because girlfriends think we are hilarious.

Sit in a chair, you should be there.

gwill

7/22/14 1:28pm

Yikes...you abandoned your wife? You got her into that situation...

ol' Blue Eyes

7/22/14 1:28pm

It's your wife and child suck it up or turn in your man card

nbruin

7/22/14 1:28pm

Father in delivery room - yes. MIL in delivery room - Yewt no!

WDaddy

7/22/14 1:28pm

Yes...^^^this^^^

ol' Blue Eyes

7/22/14 1:35pm

Yeah, the only people who get to be there for the delivery are the same ones who

Ashtrash

7/22/14 1:37pm

i don't really care but I don't get why this should be the case

fattycoug

7/22/14 1:45pm

Not to mention that historically the mother has been there for the birth

Shimmy

7/22/14 4:03pm

was thinking the same thing

fattycoug

7/22/14 4:03pm

I would also include a doula if the women wants one.

mpfunk

7/22/14 1:54pm

yes, also I would add

Sonics

7/22/14 2:04pm

And a videographer.

QuinneyCoug

7/22/14 2:09pm

and a lifeguard for the swimming pool

fattycoug

7/22/14 2:14pm

Up to the woman giving birth. If she wants her parents/siblings/friends there,

you need to watch more Walking Dead to man up

fattycoug

7/22/14 1:47pm

if your wife's cool with it, then you're good. You owe her many diaper changes

iceecoug

7/22/14 4:50pm

You don't know by now that what she says is not what she means.

gwill

7/22/14 5:33pm

Wait a minute... you let your mother in law go in and you stay out?

fiberpost

7/22/14 1:33pm

Our first was that way. The MIL wanted to be there so badly that she even tried

Mister P

7/22/14 1:55pm

My wife literally had to come up with a game plan with the nurses when it got

Mister P

7/22/14 1:56pm

Yeah, this is probably how his marriage goes too.

John Doe

7/22/14 1:58pm

My MIL and her VT were there, but they just happened to be nurses @ the hospital

Hoosier Cougar

Whatever the mom wants.

Shimmy

7/22/14 1:37pm

That's bull. The MIL can pay the delivery bills then.

Mister P

7/22/14 2:01pm

i think he means the mother that's having the child

fattycoug

7/22/14 2:02pm

I would argue that.

Mister P

7/22/14 2:03pm

why? i'll probably never be in a delivery room due to my ragin infertility but

fattycoug

7/22/14 2:06pm

It's a bonding moment for the couple. Mom had her time.

Mister P

7/22/14 2:14pm

i would trust my wife. if she wanted someone there. they're invited

fattycoug

7/22/14 2:20pm

I had my mom and sisters in the room

iceecoug

7/22/14 3:49pm

Easy to say as the guy not putting anything on the line.

Dang. Four of the coolest things I've seen were my kids being born.

Been in the delivery room for all 6 kids

Best moment of my entire life.

7/22/14 1:48pm

What is your hesitation about it?

whirl

7/22/14 1:50pm

I couldn't imagine not being in the room.

mpfunk

7/22/14 1:53pm

Absolutely...if your wife wants you there. Her call.

I'm not a father (yet); how worried were you guys for the health of your wife?

ldssdl

7/22/14 2:03pm

4 kids. No c-sections. Wife has always been great. First 2 births were very

fiberpost

7/22/14 2:54pm

C-Sections are far too common than they need to be.

mpfunk

7/22/14 2:58pm

Agreed. Too many social inductions and too much litigation.

Mathlete

7/22/14 3:00pm

4 kids, 4 c-sections and she recovered fine from everyone

Maternal hemorrhage is probably the number one cause of maternal death in the US

Mathlete

We all know you are a doctor and are super smart and everything, but why would

Shimmy

7/23/14 8:59pm

Everybody on the board discusses what they know

Mathlete

Who is saying that it wouldn't cause life threatening blood loss?

His friend's dad who is a doctor, here is the quote

I was referencing the post above:

7/23/14 9:21pm

Fair, I didn't even see that post. I was just responding to the misinformation

Mathlete

Interesting, didn't know that it wasn't an uncommon reason for deaths

morningcalmcougar

Why the yewt is the MIL there and you're not?!?

Father in the room. Just stay north of the navel. Its an awesome experience.

I wasn't there for the birth of my wife's kids. That would have been really
