I didn't read ALL of the responses, but my cousin delivered all three of his daughters. And no, they're not crazypants. He's a biology professor at a well known university (published in three top journals) and she is a chemist (PhD) turned SAHM. 

The first birth was by accident, labor was just too fast and didn't "feel" like labor, so they didn't make it to the hospital. The second two were, "Well, we did it the first [and second] time, let's do it again." 

 

Not something I'd do, and definitely not something I'd expect to be able to do in a hospital, but meh.

that thread is full of inaccurate info

husbands catch all.the.time.  all the ones I have personally been to have been at home because most hospitals don't allow it for liability reasons.  dh catching baby does not equal crazy IMHO, it happens A LOT.

 ETA:  her downfall in the feel of the thread was likely her equating it to birth of farm animals LOL

DH catching the baby = not so bizarro, just nms

DH telling the MDs to back up and let him do the work since he's delivered animals = kind of bizarro

I'm planning on delivering mcurban's next baby.

I will be having sex tonight while ovulating so that you can deliver my next baby. 

Please mark it on your calendar.

We live up north. Swing on by and you can check out the 'hood and be a part of the experience. Either tonight or in nine months. Totally your choice.

OK!  I once watched some kittens get borned (on TV), so I'll be a BIG HELP.

My H would so drop our kid,  he can barely take her out of the bathtub.

HAhahahaha!

 I think the crazy comes from ... this isn't some woman who's done her research, is commited to a home and natural birth, etc.

She just wants her husband to deliver her calf. I mean, baby.

I just hope his watch doesn't get lost when he reaches in to pull out the baby

Love it!  Also - I'm pretty sure delivering your own baby is slightly different than delivering a cow.  Will she at least have a midwife?  I mean - it's not like the man receives automatic knowledge of all things gestational by pulling out a few cows.

at the post.  i hope its MUD.

Yo urban! I had a kid in the bathtub - can I come watch Mrs.Rosie deliver your next baby???

Agreed with everyone else that the real issue was the comparison with farm animals and the idea that delivering a calf = doctor/midwife skills.

Mike was supposed to catch Alex, but we didn't have time for the birthing pool, and I ended up in the tub, which meant that there wasn't room for Mike to do the catching. I caught Alex instead. After the last push, I reached down and lifted him out of the water. Now, would I do that without a midwife around? Um, no. I know my limitations, and I know that Mike watching me give birth in the tub does not make him a midwife.

No, but I'll bask in the glory of Alex's birth some more, since Mike is now arguing that we don't need more children, which means I may not get to pop out another little one at home.
