I doubt he'll get down south to get a National Geographic view. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-11449 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 10:19:28 +0000 Mrsbells 11449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband will be when I deliver our baby.. He will be the only one allowed in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-11446 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 10:16:09 +0000 Mrs.KMM 11446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not let DH NOT be in the delivery room with me. I'm going to want and need his support and it is an experience I want us both to be a part of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-11147 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:22:43 +0000 cyneswith 11147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only my husband and mom will be invited into the delivery room. He'll be there so long as he's not deployed (at my head, I imagine). I'll be inviting his mom if he is deployed, but her job doesn't offer much flexibility to let her come out for long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-11132 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:12:15 +0000 eeh 11132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband always jokes that he will wait outside but in reality he will be with me in the room and others (like parents and siblings) will be in the waiting room or stop by when they cane after the baby is born. Husband will most definitely not be at the foot of the bed at the request of both of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-11101 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:48:04 +0000 cyndistar3 11101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes! I couldn't imagine doing it without him. We are hoping I can let go of his hand long enough for him to catch this time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-11099 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:45:52 +0000 Mrs. D 11099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wouldn't have it any other way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-9941 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 09:56:57 +0000 MH.Abroad 9941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH will be in the room, and that's it. No friends, no parents... sorry. You can wait outside. I feel like birth is a private thing, and a room full of people would stress me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1829 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:49:35 +0000 miranlee 1829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! All of his friends advised him to watch her as she comes out. We were unsure of whether he would at first, but then everyone suggested it, so now he's on board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1709 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 19:22:08 +0000 BSB 1709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my husbands wants to be in the room but he already told me that he will be on my side... not the receiving end. I think if he did see any of the birth, he would mostly likely pass out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1708 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 18:20:16 +0000 alongfarview 1708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely want my husband there when the time comes. If two people are going to make the baby, then both better be there when it's born! I think I'd like the option of having my mom and sister around for labor, but I'm not positive if I'll want anyone but my husband for the actual birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1703 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:48:30 +0000 LazyLightning 1703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine will definitely be there when the time comes--I need him! But I don't know if he'll look. He doesn't like blood/gore/medical stuff very much (very empathetic). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1666 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:24:27 +0000 geekinheels 1666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our plan has always been that anyone is welcome to stop by while I'm in labor (thank goodness for epidurals), but when it's actually time to deliver, only my husband will be allowed.</p> <p>With Claire, this worked out exactly as planned. And while I was a bit squeamish about my husband looking "down there" while I was pushing, it didn't matter when the time came and he ending up witnessing the entire thing. I was in such a daze right after the baby was born that I didn't even notice the doctor delivering the placenta, or stitching me up, but my husband saw everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1652 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:07:07 +0000 Sha 1652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in labor for 18 hours and then moved to a C-section, and he was in both rooms. My OB had him stay above the curtain for the C-section. He's a pediatric resident so he wasn't grossed out, but I was annoyed because during the C-section he kept "testing" the med student who was in the room observing - instead of paying attention to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1571 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 09:53:11 +0000 Wondermommy 1571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was there the whole time, mostly at the head of the bed, holding my hand, but he took peeks down there every so often. Even cut the cord. The only thing that grossed him out a little was the afterbirth. He kinda did a double take at that, he thought all the gross stuff was done coming out! He was like, "There's more stuff coming out!" Lol, men! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1567 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 09:37:38 +0000 chopsuey 1567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our baby came out looking sideways, so my hubs was the first person she saw. :) He had the best seat in the house :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1552 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 02:06:27 +0000 yin 1552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband was by my side the whole time, and I don't know how I could have done it without his support. I recently watched the episode of Mad Men where Betsy goes into labor and Don is in the waiting room the whole time. Then I remembered the same situation in I Love Lucy when Lucy goes into labor. I wonder when they started to allow husbands in the delivery room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1170 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 21:42:58 +0000 momazon 1170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, definitely! I wouldn't want him to miss it-- he's so excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1162 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 20:47:49 +0000 singingbee 1162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will definitely have the Hubby, but he will be up at the head of the bed because he does not do blood very well. I will probably have my dad in there because he is a doctor and I know that he will be helpful if anything is needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1135 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:56:41 +0000 winniebee 1135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely my husband will be there! He's a surgery resident and sees and does gross stuff all the time at work, so he'll probably be at the foot of the bed : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1131 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:50:06 +0000 mediagirl 1131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll probably let my Mom come in before I start to push and then make her leave. I don't want any male member of my family coming into that room when I'm laying there, scantily clad and in pain. That's other than my husband, of course. He will have to be at the head of the table, though. He gets grossed out by earwax. I think seeing a baby being born might send him over the edge. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1128 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:42:54 +0000 Adira 1128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning on having my husband in the delivery room with me, but I definitely don't want him anywhere near the foot of the bed! He's to be up by my head holding my hand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-1118 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:30:17 +0000 MaisyMay 1118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I told him that I refuse to do this alone. We'll let our parents in until it's time for Baby to make an appearance, and then it'll be just us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-263 Sat, 17 Sep 2011 21:48:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our plan was always that Rob Sr. would be in the room with me through it all, and no one else. Because of all my epidural failures, I think the next time around I will hire a doula just in case. I'm lucky that he's interested in the whole process and doesn't mind all the blood and stuff. I also did NOT want to look in a mirror while pushing, so he gave me a play by play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-255 Sat, 17 Sep 2011 14:26:52 +0000 fetching.life 255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so far the plan is for just the hubs to be with me. ironically my parents asked me about this the other day, and when I said just him my dad was pretty disappointed! I think he will get over it, he is just a little over excited to meet his first grandbaby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-231 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:05:50 +0000 tequiero 231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm hoping my hubby will be there.... depending on his schedule. he's delivered babies, so he can handle it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-227 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 13:53:13 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Marc and my mom were there while I was giving birth. Even though there were complications and they faces went literally white, I knew everything was okay and was so happy to have them there for that special moment. For baby deux, I don't think my mom will be there. But for the first time, I need to have a "you are doing a good job" pep talk from my mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-216 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 10:02:47 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we poll our friends, the joke is always about who will be at the foot of the bed and who will be at the head of the bed! Chad is not afraid of blood and gore, so he was a foot of the bed. He always tells me amazing it was to see our little one being born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-mister-or-partner-going-to-join-you-in-the-delivery-room#post-212 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:29:05 +0000 mrbee 212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When Mrs. Bee was in labor, I was in the delivery room. But eventually she had to get a c-section, and so I couldn't join the new Bee family until after the surgery.</p> <p>It truly felt like a miracle, and I'm so glad that I was there. I was definitely nervous about it beforehand though!</p> <p>How about your mister or partner: will they be joining you in the delivery room? </p>
