i remember my husband waking up every time the nurse would come in to check me. He would say what happened? Is it time yet? lol He was so impatient cos he wanted to get the experience over with. When the time came to push I thought he was going to pass out like some men do. luckily he didnt he was actually surprised to see our sons hair when I tried delivering him. Eventually I couldnt push him out cos he didnt position correctly so I ended up having an emergency cs. After the Dr delivered our baby, my husband was like it was faster than having him normal. He sure was happy everything was over. Right after delivery and beening put in a recovery room, he went home to get ready for work. poor hub he had way too much.
My hubby told me with our first he didn't know what to do. A month before I was due he bought a book on husband coached child birth and it spoke all about ways hubby can help. Thankfully he took the pointers and never let my side the entire 8 hours of active labor. He sat freezing by the fan (I was melting hot) massaged my back, held my hand, etc. I felt so bad later. When our son was born he cried and said idk how you did that. (Was induced with no epi). I'm hoping to get that reaction this time! :)
My hubby was the same way but I was also in labor 21 hours so he got bored. But the couch was right by my bed so he would hold my hand or share things he was doing on his phone. Once it came time to push all the way through us being discharged he only touched his phone to talk to family!
My hubby was all pumped to try the coping techniques we learned in prenatal classes, but I ended up having 40 hours of painless labour then an emergency c-section. It was pretty boring for him, so I didn't mind him being on his phone etc. As soon as she arrived he was totally smitten and wants to help with everything
My epidural isn't working and I told him to help me stay calm through the pain and he said, "I don't know what to do."
Choose your battles. My hubby is way overly involved and supportive. I was happy he returned to work lol but then I think, what if he wasn't as supportive. I may kill him. There has to be a balance. He's a FTD so his behavior is expected. But we did talk about balancing everything yesterday.
My husband would get it!
