Re: Do you think fathers have a legal right to see thier child born or be in the room
My sister was actually a much bigger help than my husband. Not that I didn't appreciate him being there for that extra. It was just easier for my sister to help me.
My husband was very happy and excited to hold our child. He did find it amusing though when I commented that I thought I delivered an Alien baby. And I thought he was going to punch one or more of the doctors after they told me to finally stop trying to push for a few minutes so that the 5 of them could decide what would work best at helping me deliver after bringing a tray full of instruments into the room. He absolutely hated seeing me in pain.
I found my spouse to be invaluable during labor. He kept track of the contractions, coached me to breath, rubbed my back during hard contractions, wiped my face with a cool cloth, and the look in his eyes of how much he wished he could take the pain from me if he could was priceless. I'll never forget how excited he would get when he first saw the head and discovered the baby had hair.
