Re: can you DH do this? If not, sucks to be you.
Eh... no.
I don't want my DH near my vagina while giving birth and he agrees...
Make a pregnancy ticker
Yeah, I don't see the coorelation. I might feel like a cow for those first few feeding frenzies but definitely not while birthing haha.
BAAHAHAHAHA! YES!
Lol one of my husbands biggest fears (along with the other firefighters) is that they'll be called out to a medical aid to assist in a delivery.
I hope this guy does the long sleeve rubber gloved thing too. Will he pull baby out by the feet or head? Will be leave the child on the floor in a stack of hay and urine for authenticity?
This is pretty much how we're approaching it, too. DH just saw baby kittens being born for the first time a little over a month ago, so hopefully he got the freaking out over the gory stuff done then.
I would love to know where this poster is today.
I agree on this, too. My H was front and center when my son was born so he's definitely witnessed it before. I think he was too emotional, shocked, scared, etc. to participate much the first time around other than coaching me and being an amazing support system (he was even scared to cut the cord but ended up pulling it together to do it). This time the atmosphere will be a lot different and he has more experience under his belt so we said we'd leave the option open to him. BTW - DH is a farm kid and this was still his reaction to childbirth. Animal birth in general =/= your own child coming into the world >.<
Anakat - not saying your H won't be able to keep it together, just saying he might not want to consider that an equal comparison.
Hahaha, damn, we got some fields out here I was hopin to squat in...
Go Natural or Go Home! Moooooooooooo
Very entertaining! Thanks! Though it was very long.
I read in her bio that she is pregnant again and due in June 2012. I wonder if he ended up delivering the first baby?

Best. Thing. Ever.
I needed this today. This kid has my head spinning and my stomach churning today. I needed a laugh.
Agreed. I think it's way off to think "hey, if you've seen one species birth, you've seen them all" and think you can help your wife deliver unassisted, but if there's a midwife right there, I'm all for DH or me catching LO.
From what I read (and I only went through the first page so I missed a lot) she never wanted to go unassisted. She planned on being in a hospital or at home with a MW attending.
LOL! I've always been curious about the farm animals comments that have floated around here. Thanks for the link!
My DH caught our son. It was kind of an in the moment thing. Both of us thought we'd want him next to my head. He wound up being so invested in the labor and delivery process that he really didn't care what things looked like and asked our doctor if he could catch. I'm thankful that my doctor agreed since it's a wonderful memory for both my DH and I. It has not impacted his interest in sex or sexual things one iota! But catching baby =/= delivering the baby. My Dr. was there and dealing with the entire medical side of my son's delivery.
