The birth of our first child was very stressful, Before going to the hospital my wife's water had broken, and on the way to the hospital there was a traffic jam that made me even more panicked.
When I arrived at the hospital my wife was immediately given an ultrasound, while my wife was already in pain and was scheduled to give birth by cesarean section at 07.00 am.
Wow, what an unforgettable experience.
How about you?

As a male, I can't give birth but I helped my wife give birth to our daughter. It was messy and disgusting but I'm glad I had the experience.
How many kids do you have?

I can say both my pregnancies were easy. No morning sickness, no cravings, no nausea. The process of giving birth was a different story. While the first one, it took almost 10 hours for my baby to come out. She is just a shy baby, too shy to even reveal her gender up to one week before giving birth. But I was already under anesthesia at that time. For the second one, I was supposed to do my last grocery trip but my son was excited to come out and my water broke, the contraction began and one and a half hours after I arrived at the delivery room, he came out.

Wow, I'm grateful that you don't feel nauseous or have cravings. This is different from my wife, who was nauseous for the first 1-3 months.
For the first child, was the delivery using the cesarean method?
For the second child, it was almost the same as my child whose amniotic fluid broke first

I never gave birth, but I adopted a child. And the day he came home was an unforgettable experience. He is sixteen now and such a lovable kid.
