baby birth...

Good for you being present at your child's birth! I have given birth to four babies but have never seen one being born. I am hoping to be there when my daughter gives birth in the next few days or weeks.

I agree, it is indeed a magical experience. And each one is different which really begins to set each child apart. We've even videotaped some of the births I have 8 children, for the oldest one, I wasn't allowed in the hospital room, but the rest I was with the Mother and that last five were videotaped. When they turned/turn 13, we (my wife, me, the child) watch it together and it is a really neat experience.

Yes, I watched my wife give birth to both of my sons. It was the first time I was overjoyed and disgusted at the same time.

I watched as my wife had a C-section with our daughter. This had to be the scariest thing that I have ever seen. Very surreal seeing this.

I have been present for two birthing experiences. I watched as my younger brother was born (there's 18 years between us), and two years ago I was the support person for a friend of mine. Both were wonderful experiences - being in a room as new life enters the world is something that you never forget.

I have watched my wife giving birth to my boy out side the labour room. It was a terrible experience when I heard her scream, I was horrified. After ten to fifteen minutes the attentants showed the new born child. Really it is amagic and wonderful. I realise how painful for a young lady to give birth a baby.
