My hubby being there with me during delivery(child birth) will be greatly appreciated.But am not gonna make it a must for him to be there he has to be convinced in his mind to do it.If he happens not to be there ,i wouldn"t stop lovin him and will not take that he doesn"t love me either cos him being there doesn"t necessarily proove his love for me.he loves me and i know it.Making him stay there might hurt him seriouslyand there will be nothing in it for me to gain.About the pains and sreaming i dont expect to have one cos its not neccesary i go thru pains "am the seed of papa Abraham , "

hi friend's,you all are correct giving your own best opinion on this,but i think the decision depends on the wife to request for her husband to come stay with her while burning/crying in pain. I know of a woman who says she does not like it that way --she says seeing the man beside or in front of her when going through this test will makes her hate the man or disturb her more,-- that this is her own challenge/tasks to confront,but Lateran the man(husband) should continue with the pampering and taking good care of her and the baby. thanks grin

I used to think most guys are strong, this topic has made me realised how much of a coward u guys are. My husband will have no choice but to be there when the time comes. I know of a man who delivered his wife in d hospital where he works in Nigeria, I think dat is very romantic. To all the guys who say dey can't stand by their wife in the labour room, what if everything happens so fast even b4 u leave d house, d baby's head starts popping out, what will u do, leave the baby and mum to die, u'd be expected to pull d baby out, clean up d blood u don't want to see and probably clean up d damn mess.

Common guys be strong, appreciate the power to bring to life God has given to women and what women go thru to give u a cute baby.

My wife and I were in labor for 27 hours during the birth of our first child (Son). I held her all through and cut the baby's umblical cord. During the birth of our second child (son) I was with her in the theatre. She had a C section. I helped deliver the baby. I held him and cut the umblical cord as well. The first thing he did was to pee on me. It is a tremendous feeling. The bonding starts right away. I am not a doctor but in The USA you can be in there as long as necessary. I even have the entire process on video and pictures. I think it is great. People should encourage it more. We may then not be too mad when our women require attention and petting. FOR THOSE WHO ARE SCARED OF BLOOD AND MAY FREEK OUT, DO NOT GO IN SO YOU WONT JEOPARDISE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF BOTH THE WOMAN AND THE CHILD.

mantutuman, i give u two thumbs up for ur bravery jare. na people like u we dey look for. the fact that u didnt faint while cutting the cord, thats a third thumbs up for u. ok, i only have 2 thumbs, grin but u get the idea. trust me, ur woman will forever have respect for u, and whenever u guys get in a fight or something, u can just play back the birthing tape and remember that wonderful event in ur lives. carry go jare! u be the man! cheesy

soulpatron reaction to what? to me saying the effects of the process might leave her less desirable to her spouse? if it's too yucky for men, then they don't have to be forced to take part in it.

I'm with Kobe on this one.


I've seen a goat deliver before and it wasnt a pretty site. That shit could put a man off of sex for life. Not to talk about the trauma and psychological damage such a site can cause. This should be a matter of choice. If you can seeing seeing another man poking and peeking at ur wifes vagingo not to talk of the blood, pain, screams, yuk, placenta, e.t.c then go watch it.
I'm old school. We dont need to see none of that. In fact it is an abomination in my clan.

Re: Your Husband in The Labor Room During Childbirth? by mantutuman(m): 12:21am On Aug 09, 2007
There are certain experiences you cannot avoid. Its part of life. As nasty as it can be, it is the process of bringing life into the world. Trust me, the sight will not deter you from sex. Unless you never were a real performer in the first place. As long as the d, k can rise, it will find its shelter.

what if your wives all decide not to go through the "unpretty sight" of having children because they too have seen a birthing goat?

we've left them with no option.  the unborn baby must come out one way or another.

Actually, I admit it'd be cool to witness the process by which a new life is created, i'd be in awe. It would make me more grateful to my wife for what she's gone through, but then again it shouldn't be an "he should be there, he has to be there, he put me there so he must be there." nobody's reactions to events that can be considered traumatic should be dictated by anybody, or a feeling of guilt.
Re: Your Husband in The Labor Room During Childbirth? by soulpatrol(f): 3:21am On Aug 09, 2007
to each his own. nothing should be forced on anyone, true, but we should endevour to step out of our comfort zone once in a while. life is too short and we should all experience certain events as they happen. to be grossed out by watching a woman give birth, na wa o. a living, breathing entity, a miracle is being brought into the world and u woudn't want to watch?

woman don suffer o. a man will toast u, chase u for ages, eventually get u in the sack, impregnate u, and at the end of the day he cant even stay to watch the outcome of what he implanted in u? on the excuse that he might not be attracted to u again afterwards? wow! the way people think really beats my imagination!

my hubby in the labor ? HELL YES !!!

i wont have it any other way angry angry , that lovely asshole has to be apart of the baby being born since he was apart of the making grin
Re: Your Husband in The Labor Room During Childbirth? by glamchic: 9:00am On Aug 09, 2007
Spoke to a few maried male friends about it and they said their sex life suffered after watching their wives during labour for a multitude of reasons from not wanting to put her through that pain again to just being repulsed. Now if there is any truth to this then i would rather my man stay out of the room. , trust me! No point having him watch you have a baby if you now have to struggle to get him back into your bed. However , even if it's true ,the men need to understand God's instruction on not denying your spouse conjugal pleasure, so they better get their act together and hop back in that bed and stop looking for an excuse to play away from home!
Re: Your Husband in The Labor Room During Childbirth? by fakande(m): 9:17am On Aug 09, 2007
I was wiv my wife all thru, i think d experience was a mixed bag of emotions, fear, compassion, respect, repulsion, etc. Some scary ass ish if u ask me.

@Sienna

u say "he caused it" like its a bad thing. Nah, I think u got it wrong.
