i feel comfortd whn there's a familiar face n hey he's hugely responsibl for this right?evn if he doesn't kno wht to say or do or worse he says or does somthin crazy.he won't exactly feel d pain i'm goin thru but it actually maks me feel btter coz someone's thr to giv moral support.as a moslem,it's a vry tender moment whn daddy azans bby.
somtimes we relive d day our kids wer born whn we tel thm how they came into d world,i think its somthin special tht we share.

i recently hurt hubby's hand when i delivered a month ago. I was holding the gas mask with my right hand and holding hubby's hand with my left.

Didnt realised i have a good grip with my left that his hand turned blue black from my gripping ! I gripped his hand during every contraction and to let him feel the pain too !!

So yes, the husband should be in the delivery room !!!!

p/s : Recent delivery, everyone heard i shouted to hubby, "SHUT UP YOU !! YOU DONT KNOW HOW BLOODY PAIN IT IS !!"
p/p/s : Dr actually stopped what he was doing, amazed with me

TOTALLY AGREE that dad must be present when the wife give birth...not only we need their support, we need to let them know how the wife feel like...

YES YES A definite YES that husband should be in the delivery suite....I still recall my husband telling me that I am the greatest.. ha ha.. He was overjoyed when he saw our little boy. Hubby was asking my little boy if he recognised us, same voices from the womb.. ha ha!

for me, i love it if my husband is there. at least if i need something i can just tell him and he tell the nurse. he be my voice that time when i m in pain to say it loud. and the best part is when baby is out, he feel so proud, and at least he knows how hard i have to carry HIS baby (for 9 mths) and also i have to sacrifice my body for HIS baby..

Hi,

I'm a dad and I just wanna say personally I feel that its not really whether Daddy should be in the delivery suite, but rather whether Daddy wants to be there.
I was there with my wife and God willing, I'll be there every single time not because I have to but because I want to and proud to be there.
It is the most incredible feeling of holding ur own kid in your arms for the first time.

Hi Nisha,

wow..that bad huh in HKL ? i think u shud put this in the other topic " Govt v private Hospital" .....a lot of discussion there.

anyway, I think hubby SHOULD BE in the delivery room . WHOOPS !! WHAT AM I SAYING ?

6 years ago, when i was in the labour room, hubby was snoring away on the sofa. This particular room in Ampang Puteri was big with sofas and all. I was crying in between contraction ( BUT I HAD THE TV REMOTE IN MY HAND     ) and hubby was sleeping...in between my sobs, he woke up.."yang, r u ok ? nak nurse ke ?" or " yang, you nak epidural tak" or    "yang, i panggil mummy ya ?"

I was really angry with him and when the actual pushing started only then he was wide awake. My labour was short ( admitted at 2.30pm and delivered at 7.11pm ) so he can't be too tired right ? Only then he sibuk, " Yang, i can see the head", and " Yang...banyaknya the hair ". I found him VERY IRRITATING at that time.

So, do i think hubby should be in ? YES , I THINK SO...even though all the irritating things he did , I find that he being around was comforting.

So by...u better be awake in December with this coming baby !!

Dear Petronilla ,

Hi ! U said u delivered in HKL , rite ? Mind to share more ? I'm going to deliver there too , due date end of next month , some said gov hosp no good , but some said good . Thanks !

Hi sam, I too delivered in HKL. My experience there...,    first when my water bag burst, my hubby took me to the hospital, the doctor examined me and said it was not open yet so i was admitted, and there were no place in the first class ward, therefore i was sent to the 3rd class ward,... ok hear this, in this ward, even the cleaners will be bloody rude to you. I personnally gave a piece of my mind to one lady there... and thank god, i was transeferred to my own single bedded room before anything else happened. I was just few inches from writing a harsh report to the management.

And to my surprise, on the other ward, the (first class) everyone around was so pleasant, they even let my whole family come to visit me( that was horrible having so many ppl there) the ppl in the 3rd class ward didn't even let my husband come in.. i had to go down to see him.

Mine was a special case, where my aunty from Sg. Buloh hospital came in to be my midwife, and my husband was also around the whole time, that gave me all    the strength in the world.:) I have to tell you another important thing, when i went in the labor room, my aunt was not there yet and i was attended by the nurse there, so i asked her if i could get some pain releivers but was scolded instead. She said.. memang la sakit nak beranak.. ingat orang lain tak sakit kerr?? Masa buat tak sakit?     why would anyone talk like that?? (that was even when i was not screaming or crying, there was this lady in my next room who was screaming her lungs out... i wonder what happened to her)( the doctor gave me the laughing gas but it was empty ) and the lady who gave me the epidural... she sucks.. she put in the needle through my spine.. and then she said.." Alah.. ubat tak nak masuk la... wait i change the machine" then she went somewhere and brought the machine.. then it still didn't work. Guess what.. she removed the whole thing and repeated the procedure again.. imagine poking me twice with that horrible needle when i didn't request for epidural.

At the End of it.. i did not get to use the epidural as there was some kind of a problem as the medicine did not go into my spine. I delivered just by using penthidine. Note to everyone, please do not opt for epidural, it only gives you backache in the later stases. I'm suffereing even by not using it..

At last my aunty came in that nurse who scolded me previously was sooooooo sweet to me. And all of it ended so nicely...
I'm not trying to scare you here... but please be very careful with those rude staffs in HKL... they sometimes do get to our nerves...

My best wishes to you during your delivery.

I was induced & suffered 16 hrs of pain but my husband presence helped me went through it, even though he can't do much. He was extremely shocked when we first saw our son, till the extend i have to remind him to snap photos.
Later, he told me that 1 bb is enough!!! However, i love to have a daughter later to make the family complete.

Hi all mummies,
My husband was with me all the 3 labours. The most terrific labour was the 3rd labour, in Aus. They even allow the whole family to come in the labour room. You can choose ur labour style. In the tub, or with the boucing ball, or standing. You can also find a big bath tub in the labour room. The labour room is so much huge! You can even choose to see how ur bb come out. They will bring a mirror and place it in front of you. My labour was just the normal labour. Laying on the labour bed. Just need to bend your knee and not like the labour in msia, bring your whole leg up. The gynae and the midwife are really really friendly. When the bb was delivered, the gynae asked my hubby to cut the cord. And explained to my hubby, how the bb survive in the sac. And even show him the placenta with fulled of blood. The gynae is from msia too, he is from penang. So I feel so much gentle and calm while delivering my 3rd bb. And the whole delivery time only took about 15mins start from the strong contraction until born. The gynae so much patient when doing the stiches. They sew it nicely. Im not saying Dr Tan-SJMC isnt good. But when he doing the sewing, he sew it too quickly. Maybe just 'chin chai' (hokkian) gua. This is my experienced while delivering in AUS.

Hi babykelly79! It is me again! Giving birth in Australia is a surplus for u and ur family esp husband!! Well, congrates and u are gonna do it again!!! Well, I had a beautiful birthing experience with all the staff, nurses and my gynae Dr Wong ChinYuan in Sunway MEdical Centre last year. Having my daughter born there certainly is a good sign!!! The gynae is very gentle and never chin chai in stitching ups! He is very professional!

Hi moms,
I am a new mom, my bb is just 4 months old. Well i'm glad that my hubby was with me throughout my labour. I had to endure 18 hours of labor before our gal came popping out .At 1st my husband was abit hesitant to be with me as u knowlah husbands are actually more worried than the wifes hehe.. Oh by the way, I delivered my bb in HKL. Unlike the many complaints from my friends about the hosp, i am totally satisfied with their service. AS they didnt allow my mom to stay back, only husband can... my hubby had no choice but to stay back with me. But as time went by, he grew more concern & anxious as my contractions became stronger. He followed me into the labour room and supported me during the labor. I am so happy that he was there for me..he was speecheless when he saw our daughter for the 1st time. The joy on his face was worth it. He was more tired infact exhausted as he was tried so hard to keep me calm and gave me encouragement. At 1 point of time, i could not stand the pain, he called the doctor to ceaser. The doctor told him not to worry as i can deliver normal and I did!    Wah now my husband cant stop talking about 'our' labour:)        He is a proud father. And yes i think every daddy should be in the delivery suite.....

My hubby was there with me when I delivered our little girl on Chap Goh Mei. He was a tower of strength and encouragement. He was so daring to the extent that he actually stood behind the doctor, watching our baby arrive.......with all the blood and all!!!!

I think if it was for me, I would've fainted.
