So going off all the birth related threads, particularly Jules one about whether you watched your baby being birthed heres another one :
Did your partner take a peek while you were pushing out your babe??
Steve did with both our older 2. He never said he wanted to during the pregnancies, and he never said he didn't want to but when the moment came our midwife asked if he wanted to see the baby be born and so he went down the business end.
With Hudson he couldn't because he was birthed underwater and I was leaning over the edge of the pool. I *think* he was standing up trying to see what was happening but there was 2 midwives trying to move me so they could see if the baby had been partly birthed or not, so Steve kind of got pushed behind them.
At the time I couldn't care less what he was seeing but now I kind of go EEK!! He saw all of that!! Oh well, he hasn't been scarred by it
My sisters DH said all during my sisters pregnancy that no way was he going down the business end. He said he didn't want to see and my sister was pleased with that. Now he regrets not watching his baby be born and he has said that when they have another child he is definately going to watch s/he be born. Don't think my sister is thrilled!!
Mama to 3 gorgeous boys
