The Delivery Room

Hello everyone, how are you doing? Staying smart, clean and healthy I hope? Please do. Today's topic was inspired by my cousin Ali and more like given by my big sister Grace; my personal host ( by that, I mean I perch on her and everything she has - what are big sisters for ehy?). I can't remember how the topic came up in our home this weekend but it caused a serious debate, with Ali being the only male so we were 3 girls against him :D. So let me ask you now; guys, will you go into the delivery room with your wife? And ladies, would you want your husband to go into the delivery room with you?

My cousin Ali said he won't go in with his wife. You can imagine how we pounced on him, lol. I have heard of a woman who drove herself to the hospital during labor - her husband was around, watching football! I couldn't believe it. They were very cool like it's a normal thing, someone else offered to take her and she politely rejected the offer. The husband confirmed that was how she gave birth to their other kids, she likes to go do her thing alone. Brave woman! Isn't this rather risky, though? I won't be trying any brave stunts like this for sure. The argument guys usually give is that the women transform into very insane and scary beings capable of saying and doing anything. We see these things in the movies right? My cousin spoke of a woman who told her husband to come close and then bit his ear really hard. I think these stories are exaggerated. Yes, maybe the "you can do it baby, one more push (10 times)" can be very annoying, but I don't believe the women turn into the monsters they like to show. At least, I'm certain of two people who didn't go crazy, or are these members of the exception and not the norm? 

I personally want my husband to be in there with me, I want us to experience the birth of our children together. However, if I end up marrying a squirmy man *side eye*, I would not need additional worry in the delivery room, so he can nicely stay in the waiting room. BUT you just have to be there my Dear Future Husband, no travelling that period; we're in this together baby *wink*. Okay, so if this is how you are as a guy, maybe you should save your wife the stress and pray in the waiting room and wives, maybe you can cut them some slack here, right? 

What do you guys think though? Some people feel it is not a big deal, some others think it is a very special bonding experience. I might even want a recording. What's your take? Don't be a stranger, share with us in the comment section. Ciao!
