My fiance gets disgusted easily

[DiamondsR4Eva]

I am worried of how my fiancé would be during the delivery process. He gags at EVERYTHING. He hates when I watch Untold Stories of the ER even though they are reenactments. I've asked him a few times if he was going to get sick being in the delivery room with me and he insists that he won't... but I just know he would. It worries me because I really want him to see it as a beautiful thing and it would make me really sad if it disgusts him.

Was your significant other a queasy person? Did he get sick during the delivery process?

My dh is the same way. He'll gag if it's not his fart. lol It's going to be interesting to see how he acts in delivery and when baby comes.

Just keep in mind that while it's a beautiful thing it's also quiet gross if you think about it... but I think when the time comes their adrenaline will be in high gear and they won't care. If they get sick though, they get sick and you'll have a story to tell LO one day. lol

LOL! It's funny how you mentioned the fart thing because my fiancé farts like crazy. You are right though, labor actually is kind of gross...I think the delivery of the placenta part is at least. I never realized it while I was giving birth because it was more of a "hurry-up-and-let's-get-this-overwith" kind of thing. My mom was in the delivery room with me once and she has never given a vaginal delivery so she was pretty freaked out herself. White as a ghost lol!

I'm sure he will be doing his best, knowing how much it means to you, so any reaction he does have will be completely involuntary. And he may surprise himself...mine was sure he wouldn't want to look down there as I was pushing, but when the time came, he did. I've heard lots of similar stories.

My husband is a strange one. He can turn anything small into a major deal, create tension where it isn't, turn the simplest of non issues into a huge, complex drama. Throw him into a medical emergency...suddenly he's got the coolest head, the steadiest hands, the most straightforward approach. The man who is emotionally overwhelmed by a flat tire (I had to take over that "emergency" in our own driveway) can resuscitate a gutted dog, push its intestines back in, bandage it and drive it to the vet. Almost all of my experience with him says he's the last person you want at a birth...but those few times I've seen him in medical emergencies, I'm lucky enough to know otherwise.

My DH is a paramedic, he's seen it all, suicides, people decapitated in road accidents, nothing phases him... Me giving birth though, he was really good but as white as a sheet! It's stressful, emotional and it's hard for them to watch you in pain. Keep him at the talking end and hopefully he will be so overwhelmed he won't be thinking about his own queasyness!

I personally didn't want my husband anywhere near my "area" while I was giving birth, however, the midwives threw him down there to help hold a leg. I was too much in pain to protest in any way. Once you get to the pushing part, it can happen so fast that there isn't much thinking going on at all. Oh, and my husband did not get sick

Try not to mention how he will react too much as that could make it worse. Just ask him to warn the mw when u get there just in case! Again dw too much if he decides he wants to see or not. He will make that decision to what's best for him. Altho my oh insisted he wouldn't look but he did.

 

[cupcaker]

My oh is that bad overall but he stayed at my end through labour and delivery, he wasnt keen to see all the gory details and neither would i be. and he didnt want to cut the cord, i cut my own! He managed fine once there though overall, i was impressed

 

[donnarobinson]

My oh was sick when I was giving birth lmao ! He was ok once the head was out x

 

[CountryMomma]

My DH has the weakest stomach I have ever seen in my life. He passed out at one of my stepson's births and cracked his head open and didn't even see the other one. He was perfectly fine for both of ours though. He even cut the cord with out falling out lol. He just made sure to stay up by my head the whole time so he couldn't actually see the birth and looked away when he cut the cord. I make fun of him all the time for having a p***y stomach but as long as he can cut the cord that's what matters to me.

My husband HATES seeing any type of blood (even fake stuff on tv) but he was perfectly fine during my labor and delivery. He watched EVERYTHING, he even saw the doctor stitching me up afterwards.
