3rd Trimester

DH's coworkers wise advice

So about half the guys DH works with have kids and on Friday they had a little pep talk with him. They told him that whatever he did to not be brave and take a peek at what was going on down there and to stay by my head the whole time!

Men could you imagine if they had a period?!

Re: DH's coworkers wise advice

  • That's funny.  My DH will totally be looking though.  He's a cop & used to be an EMT so he's more fascinated than grossed out.
  • I could imagine that seeing that would be traumatizing and would result in a sharp drop in sex appeal.  I'd rather my DH stay by my head

  • That's so funny!  My DH was set on staying at my head and not seeing anything.  Once Our DD was born and cleaned they handed her to him, he turned to bring her to me and said he saw WAY more than he needed ...lol  I'm thinking this time he might just avoid that whole area of the room!
  • DH is a Paramedic and has seen that all too often. He says he'll be staying by my head.
    Your little hands wrapped around my finger and its so quiet in the world tonight Your little eye lids flutter cause your dreamin so I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light To you everything's funny, you've got nothing to regret I'd give all I have hunny, if you could stay like that Oh darling dont you ever grow up, dont you ever grow up, just stay this little Oh darling dont you ever grow up dont you ever grow up, it could stay this simple I wont let nobody hurt you, wont let no one break your heart, no one will desert you Just try to never grow up imageimage Pregnancy Ticker Lilypie Third Birthday tickers
  • If I end up not having a c/s DH will be by my head the whole time. I do not want him to see that! If I was a guy and saw that I would have a difficult time still being attracted.
  • There's one of two things that could happen if DH looks down there on me:  1) He'll never have sex with me again...or 2) He'll faint.
  • Last I heard DH was still "deciding" if he was going to look or not but I know he'll end up looking:)  This is too special to him for him to miss it.  I also don't have any worries about the "sex appeal" factor.  Having a baby (um, probably the most important experience of his life) and sex are two very, very different things.  Many men every day watch their child being born and go on to live normal sex lives, LOL.

     Me too.....

  • Haha,  my DH thinks he's going to look, but he had a hard time even looking at a dilation chart.  He has no idea what he's in for.

    I don't think its a sex thing for DH he will always be turned on by me LOL I think its more an EWWW factor.

    My girlfriends husband said the SAME thing. He walked across the room to get the baby and made the mistake of looking at the floor! lol Poor guy wasn't expecting to see what came out!

    Personally...I want my husband to WANT to venture back down there so I'd like to keep him from seeing anything unpleasant! lol

     

  • Yep my man has a very firm stay above the belly button conviction. Doesn't bother me any-I'd rather have him still be attracted to me after.

  • My sex appeal is already so damaged....especially judging by the wide eyes and dropped jaw after DH saw me for the first time in my maternity undies last night. Then I laughed and said, "please don't cheat on me, ok?"

    Someone (male) told me that the episiotomy (sp, sorry) is one of the most amazing things to see. Because the dr has to be so quick with the flick of the wrist, drops the knife and catches the baby.

  • That's hilarious.  Don't be brave LOL

    My DH is a fireman/paramedic and had delivered babies before we had our DD, so he said he didn't want/need to cut the cord because he had done it before and wouldn't look because he had seen that too and didn't want to see it on his wife.

    Oh yeah, it took all of about 5 seconds for him to be down there going, This is SO cool!!!

    It certainly did not stain his image of me as a "wife" LOL, although I know for some men, it really can scar them for life...like my dad  :(

    I know "Don't be brave!" LOL What about me and my bravery?!

    I so can't see that happening to DH he saw me lose my mucus plug and 20 mins later was trying to get lucky! He likes sex way too much, but I guess for some men maybe it would.

  • I was all prepared for DH to pass out since he gets quesy at the sight of blood but he surprised me.  He was holding my leg, looking to see what was going on and even cut the cord.  Ha, I think he was in shock!

    And believe me, after the 6-week post-pregnancy wait I think most men will forget about even remotely finding any aspect of it unattractive and will just be ready to get it on! 

     

  • I"m on baby #3 so looking "down there" obviously hasn't made him decide that my vagina is a hideous bloody gaping hole and that I've lost all of my sex appeal.  He will look.  He will say he doesn't want to like he has every time but he will.

    And he will forget about it in 5 minutes, LOL! 

  • My DH was holding a leg and saw everything. Between an IV pole and the monitors for me and baby, there wasn't much room by my head. 

    He was the first one to tell me that DD1 had hair, and saw her before I did. No, he wasn't traumatized. Our sex life is just fine, post-baby. :)

    Honestly, I'd think less of him if he let something like that affect our sex life.

  • I really didn't want my husband to see that either, but the nurse basically made him. We never really discussed it, but he clearly got over it. And yes, after six weeks of not getting any, he was ready.
  • Hmm, my DH watched the whole thing with DS, giving me a play by play the whole time.  He was in total awe of what I had done, and it was really sweet, actually.  My DH is sort of a "tough guy" too, and this was one of the few times he looked at me with tears in his eyes because he couldn't believe the miracle he just witnessed.  And he still wants to get it on with me, so I'm not too worried!

  • Hahaha. I told SO that I didn't care if he looked but he better be damn sure that if he did, he would still want to have sex. I'm afraid he might look and be so scared that he won't want to anymore. He told me there's no chance in he!! of him looking. Hah.
