Advice from my DH

Just a funny story I thought those expecting might enjoy. So we were watching TV in bed the other night & talking about how scared I am to give birth to 2 babies (vaginally). I said I can't imagine pushing the 2nd one out after just finishing with the 1st one. My DH lets me know that by the way he has some advice for me: I need to work on my breathing while pushing. He says my 2nd push with my DS wasn't that effective & I should have gotten a better breath (which he then demos for me). I am just listening & when he is done I ask him was it not good enough that he was out in less than 20mins & with only 3 pushes? I guess he wants these 2 out faster, if only men could have babies huh?

 

LOL I love the birthing advise from men. I usually tell my dh t come closer so I can show him something and he usually walks away!

 

If is he that good at it, I would suggest to my DH, should he ever tell me this, that he can carry and birth the next baby. :laughing:

 

I'm sorry but your post really made me laugh. Maybe he should try to push one out and see how effective his breathing will be

I have no words. He's so glad he's not my DH! LOL

 

HA!! that is too funny!! has he ever thought of teaching lamaze?

 

:rotflmbo: are we married to the same guy?? kidding. mine is the same way- only he was dumb enough to say it DURING labor w/ my first- he kept telling me how ineffective my contractions were.

and he's gone so far as to tell me that it won't be that bad if baby B goes breech again because I'll already be stretched out from getting baby A out. I wish there was some way to transport that pain to them so they'd have a clue. of course, we'd probably never have sex again after that, then again- maybe that's not such a bad thing? LOL!

thanks for the chuckle, and for letting me know I'm not the only one w/ a dh like THAT! bless their hearts, they really think they're helping don't they!

 

LOL! My hubby was so freaked out during the pushing part that I think HE forgot how to breathe properly.
