Husbands must view childbirth.

i agree. husbands must know what kind of pain a woman experiences while delivering a baby. i havent been a mother but i can imagine how painful it is, i have nephews and nieces afterall. husbands in fact must share the pain! they should know that a woman can die while delivering a baby. ^.^ your servant deserved that. good thing he fainted. at least he knows what her wife is going through while giving birth.

I agree with you yes husbands (fathers) should be there to view their children being born ! I made my husband be there with me and I had 7 C-Sections. He had a real hard time watching them put the epidural in my back but he made it through at first I thought he was going to pass out I kept asking him if he was alright LOL ! He looked worse than me !

I agree that the partner should be present during the birth of their child. Not to make them aware of their partner's suffering! More to experience the joys of life, to support their partner and because there is no event in their lifetime that will create the same feelings of raw emotion mixed with fear and love! Us males are pretty damn lucky actually! All we do is get to have the joys of causing the pregnancy!!!I have been fortunate enough to witness the births of both of my children and it is an experience that will never be forgotten; and it most definitely gives you a whole new level of respect for your partner!

I personally think a husband should be included in the childbirth process for a lot of other reasons. It's a bonding process to both the infant and the mother, it's a process he will never personally experience and should happy to be a part of it. There are a lot of other reasons but I'm actually pressed for time...lol...I do believe that it's a personal decision since there are some people who just couldn't deal with it.

hi ketbhagat! I agree with you that husbands should be there in the delivery room when their wives are birthing. A friend of mine also fainted when he saw all the blood and another friend of mine whose husband also went with her in the delivery room witnessed evry step of child birth and he told us..he loves his wife more than ever after with what he has just seen. Take care and have a nice day!

I think that the babies father should 100% be involved with the babies birth. A man that did not want to be in there and be a part of it all has very questionable character. It would say a lot about him ... all BAD if he chose not too.

It depends on the man. There are plenty of men who can handle it and have a greater respect for women once they've witnessed child birth. There are some that are affected differently. I really good friend of mine is an example of this. My best friend had a child with him. Everything seemed ok in the 1st few months. Now that plenty of time has gone by, they realized that it's affected him sexually. He doesn't have any more respect for his partner than he did before watching his son be born. My partner was a great coach and cherishes the memory of seeing his son come into the world. It's also a good memory that we share and can sit and talk about with ease. Although he's always treated me with respect, he does see me in a different light since we had our son. I'm so glad he didn't pass out or have to run out of the room.

My husband watched the births of our kids. He actually wanted to lol. Our first child was born naturally (well I had an epidural, but you know what I mean) and our 2nd child was a c-section. He actually thought the c-section was cool lol. I think that all men should be present when their wives give birth. It makes them realize that childbirth is not easy.

I dont agree, they are their own person and should be able to choose for themselves if they want to watch or not, not be forced into it..All cases are different, but I think they should have the choice.

My husband went into the delivery room with me and had a whole different view point of women after he saw what I went through giving birth to our son. He was also in awe of the fact that we created a son. When I got back to my room he and I talked and the one thing that I remember is that he said that every man should watch his child being born. Only then can they understand what a women goes through when she is delivering a child. My son's wife had three children and he went in to the delivery for each one of the children. He also says that the man should go into the delivery room and watch this wonder of birth and men would see the wonder of women.

I absolutely agree with you. Men will never understand how difficult for a woman to be pregnant and give birth. It is not easy at all and actually it is suffering. All the husbands should care much more about their wivies because women have sacrificed a lot for men.

I do not think to allow a husbands to see his wife giving birth because it is a matter of feeling and knowledge not need to see how a woman about die. This kind of husband never realise such a pain, painful 9 or 10 months what happened with his wife. During the pregnant, pain starts after 3 or 4 months and continue until the child birth. Horrible! really, no body can tolerate it.

Looking their children to birth maybe common overseas.But it is scarce in china.Few hospital in china allow man to watch the proceeding of child's birth.They only waiting outside the operation room.Only in some big city,there have some hospitals that allowing women in the company of their husband to give birth to a child. For me ,i think man should view child'birth.They don't know the painful their wife come through.They must love their wife better from heart.
