Me not being present had no effect at all. He is the most contented easy going little man there ever could be.

OK - about to go off on paternity leave - Definitely not going to be present at the birth for the sake of all concerned.
I will be signing junior up for his own wilmott account just as soon as he's mastered his 'My First Abacus'.
I've done the natural birth, the scheduled c-section and the emergency c-section. I haven't done the back-of-the-taxi-cutting-the-cord-with-my-teeth thing yet though. The scheduled c-section is for the onlooker easily the least stressful and the least bloody. From what I have googled it seems that ...
Pathetic! You went cold and dizzy? Is that it? You didn't have your abdomen sliced open, and your insides pulled out? You won't be in pain for weeks, unable even to drive a car, scarred for life? Everyone else here is being very PC. I'm not. Man up and attend. Have you tried to "acclimatize&qu...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc0KvHtGaGs I had just about convinced myself that I would be able to manage being present at the impending birth of my son but on Saturday I attended an NCT class (Cuch - it's a different NCT to the Irish one) with my wife, the lady giving the class showed us all a ...
It's a medical term and it lost its original meaning in the light of recent studies' results (it was concerned with the biological health of your offspring rather than your own health and life expectancy). The results seem to confirm the intergenerational telomere loss theory, according to which yo...
My sister claims that her C-section was "fun". She demanded that she was the first person to touch the baby and her husband (a brain surgeon, so not the faint of heart) the second. I'm not sure how it was possible, but it looks like they granted her wish since the hospital hasn't been blo...
Feel obliged to defend fulmerspot on the fainting front. It is very powerful. I am pretty tough in some ways, but I could not fight it off once it got hold of me. On the other hand, there is no shame in it. For men that have attended a birth, did you feel differently about your wife and women in ge...
I have decided not to attend the impending birth of my son, I am really very not good at the sight of blood, I pass out in hospitals. Some people have treated this as me practically disowning wife and child. I just know that me passing out in the operating theatre (my wife is having a C section) wil...
2017 tour underway peter sagan disqualified world champion and 5 time winner of the tour de france points classification (2012,3,4,5,6) Looked fairly straightforward - out went the elbow - Cavendish has a broken shoulder bone. Disqualification has to be the punishment. Unsurprisingly his team is ap...
This looks like a case where money had nothing to do with the issue. Even the baby's lawyer sided against the parents. Are there no limits to what parents can do to children? ?? "baby's lawyer?? ok Barrister Victoria Butler-Cole, who was appointed to represent the eight month old, said propose...
