my husband was in tears just hearing me squirm during my internal scan. my doc joked that she wouldn't let him in during my delivery.<br> during my c-section he was waiting outside to be called in. the moment our princess was born he first looked at her and smiled, and then looked at me with tears. I remember we both had tears in our eyes and we did not need words to talk. we had both been through lot of ups and downs for that moment &#128522;

my hubby had v. high fever and was sleeping at home when I called from my mom place and told my water has broken and I m going to hospital now... just before me entering OT my hubby &amp; mother in law came..I could not control my tears, I bursted out in full of tears even though I was not having labour pain.. he was consoling me till I was getting on operation table, he just told Smile madu &amp; left out...I had C section delivery..I knw after leaving me to OT, he also went out and cried. I could make out when I came out with my baby boy.

At the time of labor he took me to hospital and when i was in labor room he was watching india pakistan match...&#128521;

Very heartening discussion. I remember a male friend froze in the OT watching his wife's C-Section live at Apollo Hospitals, Bangalore. But that experience gives men a perspective of the magnamity of becoming a parent. In my case, the only labour my husband was part of was the ones towards termination of my pregnancy. He was there sad and helpless, asking everyone around when will the labor saga end. I made weird screams, moves, rambled in senselessly from 10 PM - 9 AM and all I remember was telling him to tell the doc that I was passing out (the nurse was an idiot of the highest order). Even when I was pleading to the doctor at around 8 Am to help me, he stood there with eyes red. He wasn't allowed inside the OT though I saw everything live.<br> The next 14 years I slept! He cooked for a good 6 meals to the best of his ability and kept reporting to the doctor what I ate. <br> Then we adopted our little one (which we wanted to do from Day 1 of our marriage) &amp; that was a lot more liberating! We gave interviews together, arranged for documents together, saw <u>the</u> baby together, brought her home together, fed her first bottle of milk together. Sadly after 4 years, she is more loyal to him than to me!, ;-)

my hubby s the oly one who s with me all the time before and after pregnancy... I had normal delivery... the most important part is.. he was with me while pushing.. when the baby s out he just kissed me nd I gave my Maiden kiss to my baby... it was sucha a wonderful experience... when I feel pain to deliver and the baby s coming out I hold my hubbys hands and felt his hands shivering more than me... I always wish every man shud see his wife S delivery in person so that he could understand Motherhood and Womanhood fully... I guess.. it happened in my case.. and am happy about it too...
