For those of you who are fathers - if you attended your child's birth did you go down to the business end for a look?

My wife is due to drop our first nipper in a couple of weeks and I'm not sure whether I should be getting the full show or the edited version. I've been told it can put you off all the stuff that got me in this situation in the first place if you see it all getting abused like that!

Any views appreciated!

Well I'm sure you know whats going to happen, do you want to see it or not? is your wife comfortable with you watching that happen?

It's all your own circumstances.

She wants me there but doesn't mind what I look at. I'm not terribly squeemish but don't fancy the pooh side of it! I know sometimes with a water birth they give the dad a net!
 
At my son's birth 22 years ago I was sent down to the ground floor (birth ward was on the 12th floor at the time) for two cups of tea. By the time I went back up the bairn had already been delivered!

Jesus wept.

I stayed up at the top of the bed, after being forced to watch a video of childbirth many years ago at school I wouldn't want to see a live action version.

wow, that's amazing. It seems most people I know have had real marathon efforts.
 
Stay up top so your idea of "down there" isn't shattered forever. Seeing your wife poop can't be the best scene to see.
 
i saw the waters gush as they were broken, it was like she was swimming on that bed!
other than that, i wasn't allowed to watch the c section. they put a big sheet up that i couldnt peer around or over :/
 
I was running around with kidney dishes catching drips ...... saw both of my sons being born.
It's worth it if you are not too squeamish and with the advent of digital photography, you can show the Mrs how easy it was ...... hehe.
 
My mate nearly fainted when he was observing.

He said it looked like the Predators head when he takes his helmet off, i think its scarred his few of his missus lady bits perminantely
