i have a question for everyone...whether or not you have had your baby(s) yet..
my husband is having his first baby and this will be my second, i didnt take birthing classes with my son cuz my mom was my birth coach haha but would it be beneficial for us to take one so he gets a feel of whats goin to happen? its only gonna be us in the room cuz i want a very intimate and private birth with the man i fell so deeply in love with and to allow him to fully experience the beautiful time of birth of his first baby girl. hes on the fence if he wants to take classes but i have 9 weeks to go still so i have time to talk him into em lol
I really don't think there is anything you can do to prepare him. I mean even if you describe you're first experience, a moms experience is different from the dads experience during labor. I really think he just needs to experience it for himself. No matter what, it will be a bonding experience for both of you. Maybe just check in with him every week to see if he has any questions about it or something? @kaygee612
should i do anything to kinda mentally prepare him for being a first time dad? he came into my sons and my life when my boy was about 17 months old and missed the 'hard part' as he describes it lol
Honestly, I found it to be a waste of time when I went with my first. It didn't help me at all and all labors and births are different. I would just leave it up to him.
haha i dont wanna scar him, i kinda already did cuz i showed him what an episiotomy is and how my placenta looked after my son was born and explained the complications that can arise...hes more scared of me getting a c section than anything @babes101116
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I need help!!! Something is wrong with my dog and I have no money or job to take him to the vet. I think hes dying idk
I want to have a baby so bad and my boyfriend feels the same but says hes not financially ready...so does welfare have to be paid back?
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that
i wouldnt worry about questions to him lol he does a great job of asking me and his female family members questions about birth lol i think hes just nervous for it all
