Do you want your husband to be with you when you are delivering your baby?

When I first had my baby, I wanted my husband to be with me and he was with me till I started pushing.....but he was such a pain at that time (he was trying to comfort but ended up irritating me) that I wanted him to just get out. The second time I had a C-section at a place which doesn't encourage husbands(or anyone else) to be inside the delivery room. Since I knew it earlier on, I didn't bother too much with whether I want my husband to be there or not. I would love my husband to be there with me when I have a baby...because he's part of it too....and also if he gives the right kind of support.

My husband is my best friend and support system so I want him there every step of the way. Plus I think it will mean so much to him to see his new baby being born.

yeah.! same here. I want my husband to be with me from the beginning of my labor up to my delivery. I also want him to cut the umbilical cord of our baby. he's been with me through thick and thin, I also want him to see how hard to deliver a baby.

My husband was with me during the delivery of all of our children. He was very supportive. Most important was that I think it helped strengthen the bond between him and our daughters. He was very nervous about being there at first but afterwards says he would not miss the experience for the world.

when my son was born i had a c/section.i am not sure what was better.my husband at the time supporting me,or me supporting him,as he looked like he was going to pass out any minute,and we were going to pick him up off the floor.i laugh now at that.cheers sue

Yes, I agree with you. I also think it's important for the husband to be with you during the birth process, after all he is the father. And also I have found out how much respect and love the wife gets from the husband once they experience the birth of their baby together. You see, your husband will admire you even more once he sees what you go through to bring his child into the world (it's almost like he begins to see you with a different light).

Hey yl, I'd say yes-If I were going to give birth to another child I would want my man in the room w/ me but not down there w/ the dr. |:X +'s |:)

I wished my husband was with me when my son was born but unfornately we could not afford to send us both to New Zealand where I had my son. We used the extra funds to buy stuff that i needed for my son and he kept working throughout. We actually filmed the birth for him and he couldn't stomach the first five minutes so I suppose by him not being there was a good thing. All I needed was to have my twin sister there and I felt fine.

My now ex was with me for the birth of our second child but not our first. There are probably many other factors too, but he is not at all close with our first & very close to our second child. My current partner was with me for the birth of our son & will be present for the birth of the child I am expecting now. We were there together when the child was conceived it seems right to me that we should be together when he or she is born.

When I had my first two children the only person I wanted with me was my mom. But during my last three pregnancies I had grown closer to my husband (who was only my boyfriend through two of those pregnancies) and only wanted him there. When I look back on it, I am glad he was there, as I don't know what I would have done without him.

although i'm not married yet but yeah, when i'm delivering my baby i would definitely want my husband to be by my side! as the person who's probably the closest to me, i would want him to be with me and give me support and tell me that everything would be alright. i want him to fall in love with the baby at first sight and experience the delivering baby process together with me hehe :)

I think that it is important for a husband to be present whenthe baby is born as after all he is the father and it is again important foe him to witness and be their for the birth of his and his wifes child as well as to provide support for the wife

i agree i believe your partner should be with you during labor , i work for an obgyn and i have observed how many husbands dont even go to their partners doctors visits

My husband was with me for both of our boys births. My first husband was not in the delivery room and i didn't want him there.

I really think that it should be totally up the husband, they are totally different to us in their emotions and it could really frightened them to see you in that way...I wouldnt force him to be there if he didnt want to, thats just not fair..

yes i want my husband to be with me during my delivery because i dont know what might happen and i want to see him there during my delivery supporting me every minute of my suffering and hsowing me that he cares a lot for me . . that would be a real nice gift or gesture that he can do for me

my husband was there for the first babies but the last one I had my mother instead... it worked out wonderfully. She was much better placed there than my beloved husband.
