I 've always heard a lot about guys entering the labour room with their wifes but candidily speaking I never imagined it until I entered it.
I was so quiet afterwards that I feared going back soon,
Guys in the house, let's know what you feel and if you 've had any experience share

you must dobo carefully.

i thought the topic would be experience from the female perspective as they are the main recipeint of the labour pains. However, the psychological pain the husbands face watching the harrowing ordeal of the wife's could even be more traumatic.

^ Me too. I was all ready to give up all the wonderful and exciting details!

i think there already is another lengthy thread with various experiences, lots of good testimonies mainly from women and some men too. Having exclusively some male experience would be lovely.

It's a really interesting thread, labor experiences both frightening and, appealing!

This thread is dedicated to male's experience.
I was with my wife that night. I never imagined how harrowing it could be until she started crying. She was just praying all through, I guess that gave me more courage to stay all through. Prior to that time, a nurse was asking me to leave but I insisted on staying (imagine even when I am a veterinary doctor)
I 've never seen her go through much pain in my life. So whenever I remember what happened that night, I tend to keep myself in check when she is naughty,

nice man, you.

alot of men faint in the labour room. Some of them actually run away.one wanted to dash out of the room but the doc dragged him back and told him to watch. One fainted for 15mins and was on tthe floor by the time he woke up he found himself alone in the room,wife and pikin were already in their recovery room

Never had any fear about going in to labour ward with my spouse. I even had the priviledge of recording the birth of my 1st 2 kids from when my spouse was in labour till actual delivery. The 3rd baby escaped my camera lens cos he came thru CS and the medical personnel would not allow me into the theatre. But I filmed him immiately he was brought out. (I hope this is the last one).

I intend to play it for them when they`re much older and make them see what they made "mummy" go thru to bring them into the world. (It`s just to make them appreciate mummy more).

A BIG thank you to all mothers who went in and out of the labour room safely with their babies in their arms crying tears of joy. God bless You.

Labour ward is supposed to be a restricted area. Most Federal and even State hospitals don't allow males that are not hospital staff into the labour ward. So if you want to witness the birth of your child, you may have to do it in private clinic.

My husband in the labour room was just to funny he was pushing with me and i had to laugh so the doc shouted at me cause the baby was already comming out i had to it was just to funny. But i wouldnt miss that men always have a big mouth i enjoyed seeing him like that. Looool

Mine was not a funny experience ooo
When the nurses told me to go into the labour room with my wife, i thought they were pulling my legs.
By the time i found myself inside with her, OMG I think i almost passed out but later managed to stay.

She was so much in pains, that at a point tears started flowing down my cheeks.
I will never forget some other things i saw that day.
Any man who lays his hands on his wife MUST be fool
