How Bad Is It? (Delivery Room That Is)

[truegrinder]

Honestly im terrified. My friends have told me some crazy stories and said it is brutal inside there. A couple of my buddies almost passed out. Seriously how bad is it?

1st one. Cried like a bitch to the point they had to get me a chair

2nd. Felt lite headed and the gave oxygen and made lie down on the floor.

3rd. Ain't gonna happen. Got snipped.

Good luck.

It is bad....you are completely helpless

Good luck

^^. That too. On the 2nd one my wife said of I didn't want to come in, I didn't have to. It's bad bro. Maybe watch the most disturbing horror movie to help prepare? Idk what can prepare you.

I guess it depends on how squeamish you are.

With my wife's first C-section, I obeyed the doctor's orders and didn't peak over the screen they had up... with the second C-section, I was over with the two babies and did get to see more of my wife's guts than most people.

Being a firefighter in a former life though, blood, guts, brain, burns, etc don't really phase me - actually was more fascinated on how she was patching my wife back up...

Know your role and do your job. As said earlier, if you are squemish stay above the curtain. There are smells and sounds(if they cut her) that you need to be ready for. When your baby comes out(look at the clock), you will be overwhelmed with love and joy and thankfulness for your wife/girlfriend. Fight those feelings for a minute. YOU ARE A DADDY NOW, go check on your baby then report to her. That's gonna be her concern. Try to be relaxed, she will feed off you. Good luck and enjoy the moment. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT!!

the birth of my first daughter over 14 years ago remains a moment that will be forever etched in my mind.

The miracle of life. Nothing can beat that.

^^this. I was overwelmed, worried for my wife, scared, disgusted when looking at what was taking place, happy with joy yet crying when they came out healthy. Dude, since my last post in this thread, there is Nothing that can prepre you for this experience. But holding your kid just after they are born is priceless. Your wife will look like she went toe to to with pacioa she will be spent of energy. You as a dad will want to tell the world about your newborn and how awesome he/she is. It's crazy in such a short period of time.

just hit the bar and have them call you when it is over

[truegrinder]

thanks guys... yeah im ready to experience it. My wife is ready as well. I feel helpless now, because she is in pain quite a bit and cramps and all that stuff. Im ready for it, but im sure it is terrifying..lol

Know your role before you go in there. I stayed away from the horror zone and just held my wife's hand and coached (LOL) her through delivery. When it was over, I stepped outside the room pulled a flask from my pocket and downed some alcohol!

Unforgettable

[Allbutbroke]

Suggest you go to the hospital and ask to watch a few other births to prep.....I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

Wooah - not good for the weak stomach. I almost lost it on my first one. lol

[texican08]

Yeah, I have no desire to even take a peek 'down there' when the time comes, I'll be up near the head the whole time
