He kept telling me "well, I wouldn't get a tooth pulled without pain meds, why would you have a baby without them?". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337775 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:47:51 +0000 Greentea 1337775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubs is pretty laid back. Pretty much whatever I say goes and we agree on things anyway (natural l&amp;d if possible, breastfeeding. ..) but he really left things up to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337769 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:46:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1337769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: that's what I told him, "You know why I get more leave? because it's major surgery!"</p> <p>@Mrs. Taco: I dropped the VBAC term on him and he was like "no, just no!" Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337757 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:41:49 +0000 cascademom 1337757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, DH and I were in the same page about c-sections. DH really wanted LO breast fed a year. According to MIL, he was for 6 months. I made it 8 months with LO. Breast feeding was his biggest one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337749 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:39:20 +0000 MamaMoose 1337749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: we were lucky enough that we were able to do it... But I agree my hubs was amazed at just how much work it is!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337744 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:37:00 +0000 Dandelion 1337744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easy for him to say! Hes not the one who will be getting major surgery!</p> <p>Just tell him that just because you want one doesn't mean you get one. Even my doctor isn't ordering one automatically until 39 weeks. A good doctor won't let you just because. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337738 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:35:24 +0000 illumina 1337738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: my Dh was the same...though he eased up on it once LO was actually here and he sees how tough it can be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337737 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:35:16 +0000 Espion 1337737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I told him DTD at term may help trigger labor, he avoided me a couple nights when he knew he'd be busy! And then when we finally did, immediately after he was like, "Ok, baby time?" Ha! Seriously, if sex was an on/off switch, a third of the HB threads would disappear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337733 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:33:56 +0000 MamaMoose 1337733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found it funny how intense my husband was about baby being EBF for at least a year when he himself was formula fed from day one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337731 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:33:31 +0000 Torchwood 1337731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I would smack him! Thankfully DH knows I'm planning a natural birth and is (mostly) supportive. Oh, the ideas that people get in their heads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337728 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:31:07 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1337728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohhh my husband joked about some of those reasons too (and to be able to make sure the birth didn't interfere with any important sporting events, ya know, priorities, right? :wink: )...our friends had a scheduled c section (2nd baby and didn't want VBAC) around the same time and he was jealous they knew exactly when the baby was coming.</p> <p>He </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/everyone-is-doing-it-these-days#post-1337722 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:27:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1337722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband says some crazy things to me during our TTC journey. He wants to have a scheduled C Section. WTF</p> <p>his reasons:</p> <p>Easier for the doctor<br /> Easier for us<br /> We both will have more time off<br /> His leave will come from a different bank<br /> Gaurantees our next kid will have cesarean<br /> oh and, Everyone has them these days</p> <p>So yeah, he is definitely not allowed within ten feet of my OBGYN. I'm all for C Section when medically necessary. But, I want to go into labor and let my baby decide when he/she comes out and pick his/her own birthday if you will.</p> <p>Does your SO have weird ideas about baby/ birth? </p>
