First internal combined with GBS...

Gen Devine · July 2009

and FI goes running from the room @ the doctors office, heading for his truck and announcing that he "isn't going to watch that!"

Lol. I would have kicked him out anyway, I wouldn't want him to watch that.

Does he know what happens in L&D?

Oh yeah, DH couldn't escape fast enough when I had an internal at the first doctors appointment. It was pretty funny watching him squirm just talking about it.

I figure if DH is going to be there when the baby is coming out, this wouldn't bother him. Plus, I had the gown covering me so he wasn't really watching anything.

I wish my DH ran out of the room, he insisted he wanted to stay in there and watched the entire thing! He had a smirk on his face the entire time too!

my DH stays in the room. He has no problem with it. Helped put our LO there he wants to be there for me and her every step of the way.

better tell him to stay north of the equator during delivery if he is that squeamish over an internal and swab.

Gen Devine · July 2009

Lol - I don't really want him watching the actual L&D process either. I just want him there to hold my hand and say mildly nice things.

Exactly this. DH and I are both anti-mirror during labor though.

I've had 4 so far, and DH has seen every one of them. 3 were in the hospital, and when my parents came to visit, he ran out to tell them that it looked like the doctor's arm had been in my up to his elbow. He gets a kick out of it. I agree though - he put the kid in there, no reason he needs to get out of seeing all of this stuff at the end!

HAHAAHA! How is he going to handle the big day?

rebus82 · July 2009

My DH just stands at the head of the bed and holds my hand during crotch exams. He doesn't want to see the show, nor do I want him to (I don't want to see it myself,) but I'll be damned if he's not going to at least be in the room with me.

Ha! ?DH has only been to appointments that involved ultrasounds. Otherwise I see it as kind of pointless for him to go.

This. No reason for him to stand there and watch this. Watching our LO be born is so different than watching an internal exam IMO. He doesn't come to my yearly pap's so I don't think he really needs to watch the internals.
