My husband slept in the chair most of the time, until it came time to push, with our first. That was kind of annoying considering I couldn't sleep.
My husband had to wait for 19 hours when I went to the hospital just for me to get a c section...and he didn't complain at all...I am the type person I would go as early as I wanted just to make him wait longer so he knows not to say anything
He obviously knew what to expect when he did the deed to get you pregnant. You have dealing with pregnancy symptoms, being kicked on the inside, and you'll be the one doing all the hard work of labor and recovering. He can manage sitting in a room with free cable tv for a few hours. My husband knows better than to complain how long labor is lol.
