Congrats to Tizmoi, now the hard stuff starts, enjoy![/QUOTE]
Thanks Sir Wilson. And as a certain Dr Bob Kelso once said " nothing in this life that is worth having, ever comes easy "
I hear what you are saying BB and I was ( and still am ) pissed off! I did start ranting, but when the wife told me she would be fine and not to worry, then some of the expectant mothers came to see what all the fuss was about, and on top of all that all the thai fathers to be were sitting patiently in the corridor I just beat a hasty retreat to the nearest hotel. I didn't want to make the situation anymore stressful for my wife than it already was. But yes I agree with you, it's totally out of order.
The fact that my daughter was born 3 weeks earlier than expected may of played a part in having a natural birth. My wife had reluctantly accepted her doctors view that she would need a C-section. Although she is in some discomfort, and had a long labour, she hasn't moaned once!
If in future years my daughter asks me about her birth, I will just tell her the truth. That is whilst mum was in delivery suite, dad was stuck in a hotel, posting on teakdoor, watching the news, eating cashew nuts and drinking the mini bar dry, whilst waiting for a phone call to say " baby come now mister ".
My daughter is one week over her due date and a C Section is planned for Monday.
Whilst I believe natural childbirth is the best we must put our trust in the people who know what they are doing.
I have not been allowed to any of my kids births, all in the UK, because when there are complications, the staff do not need some shocked husband getting in the wayOriginally Posted by buriramboy
When was the last time you had a birth in the UK Andy ? Donkey years ago no father would be present
I was present at all 3 of my kids births in the UK. The oldest being nearly 20 years ago
I was on the piss when my Thai one came. It was my favourite birth
Woohoo LT, all the best and congrats.
As to being present or not at the birth, depends on the hospital and Dr. That's one question to ask the Doc early in the piece, no point doing a macho BB rant in the middle of the action, probably won't help and will just make you look an arsehole.
I was present at my son's birth in Thailand (natural)and my daughter's birth in Indonesia. (C-section).

when my first daughters were born, it was encouraged then but they were both breech births so I was not allowed in
I was allowed in the theatre in the UK when my youngest son was pulled out with forceps, although there was a curtain covering it. And they passed him to me straight away
