    Go and get some food inside you, she will be at it for some hours. Take some back to your wife as well.

    Do you understand Thai swear words, because your going to hear some today.

    Well after the sprint to Lerdsin last night, everything has ground to a halt. Not allowed to see wife until after she has given birth! Not at all impressed with that. Been to hospital three times now, and three times I've been told to go home. Doctor now says "baby will come 10pm or something mister"! I won't hold my breathe so far I've heard 5am, 10am, 2pm! Time for a chang me thinks.

    It's all very well being there at the birth and I do recommend it. You will of course be blamed for all the pain she is going through, the fact that you will never be allowed near her again etc. Once the baby's born you will be the second best thing in the world though.

    Tell the doctor that you want to be present but be prepared to feel a little faint !

    Did you have a good meal yet? Go easy on the Chang this is a momentous event in both of your lives.

    Good luck to you, your missus and your baby. Patience is required, it's all chaos to you but the doctors and nurses do all day, every day of the year.

    The following is my opinion on C-section birth in Thailand: Having worked in hospitals for over 30 years, having a C-section birth is probably the least stressful for both the mother and the child. My ex is a NICU nurse and she saw it all and had three of our own children by C-section which may tell you something. If I were a female, I would also choose this procedure to have children. In the US, women receive a "Cadillac" anesthesia which gives them very little hangover and absolutely no pain. I do not think the same is done here in Thailand where the older, longer acting gases are used.

    As for percentages, there are way too may C-sections performed in Thailand for all the previous reasons stated. More money, much quicker, less screaming and a quick in and out in the delivery room. My Thai son was born by C-section which I missed by one week. I called every 10 minutes to see what the news was and all her sister said was it was 50/50. Not exactly what you want to hear from someone that knows nothing about medicine. In the end, there was a longer than normal recovery time which could have been a result of the anesthesia, poor technique, or a low tolerance for pain. Whatever the reason, I would have felt much better if I had been there.

    My advice is to spend as much time as you can at your wife's bedside. I was not able to do this and regret not being there. I was present for all of my other children's birth even though they occured in the US. Thailand is a place to hurry things, take shortcuts and make as much money as possible. My son was delivered in an army hospital in Udon Thani and it all cost me about 25,000 baht which allowed for a VIP room where a family member could stay and sleep to make sure everything was as good as possible. Overall, Thailand has above average healthcare, but it would still be wise to be present as much as possible.

    Congratulations and enjoy the little one.

    After a 22 hour labour, the wife finally gave birth at 6pm wednesday evening. Little girl weighing in at 8lbs 8oz, or 4 kilos in new money.

    Glad it's over with. The wife got her wish. to give birth naturally. Must say she is coping magnificently. Don't really understand why the husbands are not allowed to be in the delivery suite or present at the birth! I was only allowed to be with my wife after she gave birth and when a private room became available. Now the upshot of that is I now have to ask permission to leave the ward!! Apparently I must stay here 24/7 and take care of the wife. I can't wait to see the back of this place!

    Congrats, but i have no idea why you weren't allowed to be in the delivery suite with your wife while she was giving birth, i was with my wife the whole time and if they'd told me to leave they'd have been told where to go. So basically they left your wife to give birth on her own or was she allowed other family members with her????

    Excellent news. Glad to hear your wife, baby and you are all well, albeit some are a little sore.

    Now's your chance to re-bond with your wife and show her how you can take care of them both. It's a chance to shine, grab it with both hands. It will pay dividends believe me.

    That weight sound a good one, how does it compare to the average Thai/Thai baby's weight?

    The first birth is usually the longest; from now on, after her body has realised what the lower half is for, they pop out like peas.

    Yes, I am sure that would go down really well in a hospital while your wife is giving birth.

    Who cares how it goes down, maybe you'd just sit back accept a doctor telling you that you can't see your own wife and be happy for her to be left on her own, but guess we are all different.

    Best of luck to y´all.

    Maybe but it does refute some of the arguments posters are putting up as a defence for C-Section births. Size, discomfort, medical facilities.....

    You also don't get to relive a birth many times and I'm sure everyone has stories or memories. Hats off to all of them for including us in the dramas, completed or still awaited.

    No fathers or family allowed. All the women in the delivery suite were in there on their own. The first time anyone other than the mother sees their child, is when the mother either goes onto the ward or into a private room. A real big disappointment for me, not being there for the birth of my daughter. I'm making up for it now though.

    Not sure what the average weight is for Thai baby, but she does look a little bigger than the other new borns being wheeled about. And it has been made very clear to me, that even though the wife is chuffed to bits with our daughter,, she has no desire to have anymore lol!

    Yes you certainly did And I have the utmost admiration for her being able to do it by herself.
