adultebony: I've been in the delivery room with my wife TWICE! The last one was on the 5th of April this year. It certainly was scary and awesome! I stood behind the bed overlooking the tommy and birth canal, saw the baby pop out while the doctors and nurses do their job. Wow! She held onto both of my alms while pushing out the baby. The doctor kept yelling 'push, push, ma, you have to push now!' And then he turned to me and said, 'sir let madam do the pushing, ok?' Didn't realise I was pushing along with her. The doctor, nurses and myself had a good laugh later. The baby boy, Tunmida, is crawling now! The experience certainly makes me cherish my wife and mum more and more. Enough respect to womanhood!

i love this bro

Yes. I did, it was not a very pleasant experience, but it was well worth it. The problem there is seeing the person you love so much in such level of pain. But overall it was worth it. I think I now treat her with more respect and admiration after witnessing the childbirth. I think women are stronger and

more resilient than men.

It is common practice in most hospitals in western Counties allow their Partners to be present when the wife is giving birth. U being around ur partner reassures her, calms her down, and creates a stronger bond between couples. I was with my wife the whole time during the birth of my two kids and will not have missed it for anything in the world. It seems it is only in Nigeria and most developing countries that such practice is not common.

i'm nt married bt i'll wish my hubby be around wen labouring...bt the pain...gush..i've nt experienced it,bt i've seen and heard so much about it..already scared sef...

I was right beside her when my daughter was born and I'll always be with her,always.

No I wont!

REASON: I hate the sight of blood. I lose all forms of se.xual urge on the sight of blood coming from the va.gina. So, I will lose the se.xual urge I have for her if I watch her bleed during delivery. She wouldn't want to have a husband who has no se.xual affection for her.

Wow! Enough respect to all the guys who've witnessed their ladies give birth!

I don't mind hubby staying with me in the labour room.
He was actually with me for a while during the birth of our first child, but when the baby crowned, the nurses requested that he left the room.
Funny, while I was screaming in pain, hubby was encouraging me to stay strong, that he too was having the same pelvic pains! Talk about having sympathetic symptoms. Lol.

sure!!! I will if i have d priviledge. ...it'll keep d bond tighter.

NO WAY,WOULD NOT WANT TO PASS-OUT.

What's bad in that afterall the man did the Job and he needs to be there to support his wife or women going through the agony of Labour.

I must this is a senseless thread because this a modern world and your woman needs you to show you care.

PBundles: OF COURSE! I was there for all three ( 2 boys and 1 girl). Its a moment that cant be missed very emotional and to be shared with your wife. Its not easy for some I know but you must provide the support after all she is bearing the pain of bringing life. That one thing that all men must bow for our ladies, its not easy and we men get mouth but to be honest I wonder if we could do it, I dont think I could if Im honest. Thanks Ladies from the heart espeically my beautiful chick ( together for 22 years!)

congrats, sir, you are a very good husband and father.
for me, i would be there for her at the very point of delivery

Biggoozz: I did! I and d Doc delivered my six weeks old baby @ St. Nicholas all the way. It was a tough thing to experience but I tell guys: If you prayed with you wife for 9 months of pregnancy, you are a faith symbol she needs in that ward to pull through any challenge she faces there. I will do it again.

Six weeks old baby? That's abortion

When I get to d bridge, I'll know hw to cross the sea..

I've been there twice. It is beautiful witnessing your baby come into the world. Where else would you be? Where else could be better?

@rezzy: I think he meant his baby was born six weeks ago. Lol

rezzy:
Six weeks old baby? That's abortion

I guess he meant the baby is currently six weeks old

If I don't stay with her please who else ..............

bigtt76: ...And you would want to make sure that its what you pumped in that came forth right? Hehehe

Lol

Redhot111: I can't stay there with her in d labour room oo. Though i can b in d reception hall prayin 4 her. I don't even like 2 know wen she is on her monthly flow let alone watchin giv birth.

u r sick!I feel u need a psychologist

wow...many of the comments are really assuring...so we still have good men out there...kudos to the good ones..

isnt this topic overflogged?

HAVE BEEN THERE, WILL BE THERE, WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, WILL NEVER FAIL TO BE THERE,
WILL CONTINUE TO BE THERE . . .

[quote author=Leadn]Ladies – would you like your husband to be present in the labor room to watch you give birth?? (kinda gross if you ask me )

Gents – would you like to be in the labor room with your wife and watch her ‘do her thing’?

Please lets hear your thoughts on this..

I was actually wt my wife during labor 2ruout d night nd even persuade her to push when d doctor and nurses left her alone.

Ezeed: isnt this topic overflogged?

how??

mega f: i love this bro

Thanks ma'am. Me think the younger generation of Nigerians (going by the feedbacks here) will make better homes and hopefully a better nation. Thumbs up to all the REAL MEN in the house.

Malawi1414: u r sick!I feel u need a psychologist

lolzzz easy man, easy

tintingz: Nigerian doctors don't realy accept this "a man should be with his wife in the labour room" even in our culture it dosn't happen. . .na oyinbo tin be this buh i don't see anythin wrong in it being with my wife in the labour room(na me put the belle there na) buh the thing is that seeing her in pains and screaming and NOTE don't look down there aahh! At'all <gross> not advicable

I don't really think its a 'Nigerian doctor' thing. You have to understand that most public hospitals usually have many women in the wards at the same time, usually with no demarcations or anything, so you can easily see why it will not be proper for the husband to be in such a place.

If its a private hospital, or a private ward in a public hospital, I struggle to see why any doctor will have problem with the husband being in the room.

ACM10: No I wont!

REASON: I hate the sight of blood. I lose all forms of se.xual urge on the sight of blood coming from the va.gina. So, I will lose the se.xual urge I have for her if I watch her bleed during delivery. She wouldn't want to have a husband who has no se.xual affection for her.

fortunately not all women bleed, especially if its not the first child, or an unusually large one.

moreover the feeling you had regarding the sight of blood will wane after a while, trust me.

If u don't have strong mind no near der o guys! U may start hav weak erection on ur wife.monthly period dey vex me for ear sef. It's not love. God told adam to ginger and hustle money while eve should labour and give birth. Shekina

I'd love to have my husband present every second till the baby is out,his presence will really give me strength.
