FTMs: Is your partner planning on watching baby arrive?
BTDTMs: What was your birthing partner’s reaction to baby coming out?
First baby was a c section. They called the nurse in the waiting room to tell him to come back, but she never did. The anesthesiologist went running out to get him and the poor guy ended up walking in halfway through my c section😬 He said he saw more of my guts than he ever wanted to see. Then he was nearly passing out the entire time...he is soo squeamish, cannot handle blood, so it was a traumatic experience for him! For my VBAC, he said he was NOT going to look! But when the midwife said "Look! There's her head!" he instinctively looked and ended up watching her be born. The look of amazement on his face was 😍 For this baby, he will probably end up watching...he just can't think about it before the moment😂
My husband did fine with the birth of our sons, but he nearly passed out both times I had my epidural.
What's btdtm? SO is not a medical person hates blood and all things like that. Stood at the head of the bed. I'm proud of him though, he was initially scared to be in the room
My husband definitely saw when our son came out and held my hand the entire time and cut the cord. You know how there’s guys that thinks it’s disgusting well not him. I’m so glad I had his support❤️
I had an unplanned c-section due to our daughter inheriting my husband's humongous head.
The plan was that he would watch my vaginal birth. He's a farm kid and has watched many animals give birth so he wasn't going to be squeamish.
But instead he sat behind the blue curtain while I had my c-section and did just fine with that too.
same here! my c-section was due to not dilating even after an induction with cytotec and pitocin (stayed at 0cm even after 15 hours). my husband is all for watching the birth this time if it’s vaginal, but the first time he said “I did NOT want to see them pulling your guts out. I would’ve thrown up.”
I’ve got three and still don’t know what it looks like and I wouldn’t want him to either 😂 nope
@lenniandthejets, o hell na they asked me I was like if u want me to pass out ...yess girl lmao I’m weird
@kush_queen420, 😂 you’re not weird, you know your limits and there’s nothing wrong with that. you came to have a baby, NOT to watch a horror movie come out of your coochie 🤣🤣🤣
@lenniandthejets, haha I know I had my first at 15 so that would be scary af lmao
My husband was there and watched and participated in all 4 of my births. He almost missed one though because he was asleep and we couldn’t get him to wake up so he barely got up in time to see it.
My ex husband (yes we were divorcing when kiddo was born) stood diligently by my head when kiddo came out...but then made the mistake of walking to the other side of the room when I was getting stitches....he straight up looked like Casper 👻😂
@massgirl, bet he learned that lesson fast 😂
My husband watched our oldest and almost passed out so with kynzleigh he wasn't as intrigued into watching 😂😂
But he cried his eyes out both times of happiness
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...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Hubs is really weird.
When I got my epidural he looked like he was going to faint... the nurses were like uhh maybe you should sit on the couch or something lmao
BUT when I gave birth he watched the whole thing and cut the cord no problem.
Freaking weirdo lmao
