letting your boyfriend or husband watch babys birth??

I don't think I want my boyfriend to watch her come out haha. I'd rather him be up near my head just comforting me and cheering me on haha. I want more babies and I just think it would freak him out

With the birth of my son they let my boyfriend help hold back my leg and what not so he was front and center and he thought it was amazing. He plans to do the same for our second.

My bf has a weak stomach and didn't want to watch he started up by my head coaching me and putting a cold cloth on my head but he ended up watching bits and pieces .. he got super grossed out cutting the cord though.

My husband watched and said it was an amazing experience and he wasn't freaked out at all. Plus you're gonna be so busy and focused on getting your baby out you're not gonna care who sees what.

My husband plans to be the one to catch our baby when he or she is born next month (assisted by our midwife of course). He watched the birth of our first and was absolutely amazed to see how incredible the female body is, to be able to do that, and he was so super proud of me for getting through what was definitely the hardest thing I ever did - birthing a 9 lb baby med-free is no joke! It gave him new appreciation for how strong I am and didn't have any effect on our sex life whatsoever.

I told my husband I didn't want him to go below my knees in labor and he was relieved. I personally just don't want him to see me stretched and I don't want to see that... I know it's a beautiful thing but this is just how I feel...

My bf has literally seen me inside and out, my fist was a csection and he's 6ft 3 all that little curtain didn't hide anything. My dr wants to do another csection but if I do vaginal I didn't want him to look :-\

I don't even like my boyfriend coming to my drs appointment because he is negative so during birth he probably will be negative making me even more fustrated so he can sit in the waiting room lol

Lol all the way through my first pregnancy my boyfriend said 'nah no way will I look down there, I'm staying at the head' come the day of my labour as soon as they said I can see the head, he was stood between my legs watching everything lol. Now he's excited to see another one born, I've never been bothered either way, after 8 years together we've seen each other at our worst so this is nothing.

I don't think either of you will know how much you want to see (or how much you will want him to see) until your there and chances are you will be so busy pushing you won't even give where he is and if he's looking a second thought. Good luck with everything.

When my son was born I had my boyfriend at the time there. He told me he didn't want to see but he watched anyway.
And I thought he would be disgusted, but he told me it wasn't that bad and nothing bad came of it.

It all depends on the man.
