Some women prefer their husband to be on their side during the time of delivery. Others choose to be alone with the care provider or doula. Do you think it is necessary for your husband to be with you during those crucial times in your life?

I didn't want my husband to be with me. I think it depends of the relations of the couple and also of the man. In my case I thought it's better he to wait outside.
your hubby sounds very nervous@bananamen1 (442)

Well I don't a hubby yet and never give birth but I hope my husband--to be---will be with during delivery,that kinda sweet your husband will stay and comfort you while in pain
and she will be able to tell you a word that can make you feel better.
Nowadays most hospital allows husband to enter the delivery room while their wife is in labor.And I think that's a good way to make partners shares their thoughtfulness with each other.
Happy myLotting!

Hello there sunkernjs...
Hmm, even though im not yet a mother... I guess it depends on the couple.. if the husband wants to be with his wife, guess thats gud... i guess they just need to talk about it before the labor and delivery ever comes..lol
Have a nice day!

I want my husband on my side during the delivery. I think it will make a stronger bond in the relationship, maybe taping the birth proses by our husband is good idea too, so when your baby grow up you can show him the film, because I personally think labor proses so amazing.

During the period of Labor and deliver the mother undergoes lots of pain and so many thoughts will be simultaneously working in her mind.
To have a relief and the required moral strength some ladies suggest their husbands to be at the side of her during this period.
Yes a husband being at the side of her gives lot of courage and strength psychologically. I feel that this makes her to deliver with lot of ease.

Yes I agree. But do doctors allow fathers to enter birthing homes?

I prefer my husband to be with me during the time of labor and delivery and he used to do that. I needed that moral support and strength to be able to feel the assurance that he is with me even in crucial times. And the more love and respect was nurtured for my husband when he never left me during those times of hardships.

I have seen many husbands offer very loving and encouraging support by doing not much more than offering her sips of diluted juice, putting a cloth on her forehead and telling her how proud he is of her.
Even if your husband only has comfort level to support you in a safe zone during the labor, then you should make sure you have all the additional support you need while giving your husband permission to occupy a role he is most comfortable with.

Well, my husband was there during the birth of both our daughters and he loved the experience. My first labour lasted 36 hours so he actually went home overnight and came back in the morning to be with me. My second labour only lasted 35 minutes, so there was no waiting around for him.

I haven't had a baby yet, but if I were too, I don't think I would want my husband there. First off, I don't think he would be able to handle it, and secondly I would want to do this alone. There is not much of a reason why, I guess that is just what I prefer.

I honstly dont think that Id ant him there. I know for sure that Idnot want anyone lese there unless they absolutly had to be. But I wouldnt stop y husband, and only him, from coming and and experiencing it with me if he wanted to because it is his child too and I love him enough to put myself through that for him and his wish.
