My DF refused to read anything about labour and birth and also refused to go to any antenatal classes so I was quite apprehensive about him being with me.

I was induced and while we were waiting he decided to flip through the book I had bought him, to read what he could about labour (peeved me off).

The damn doctors wouldn't put the amount of the drip up so I was stuck at 4cm for ages and then at 6cm when he asked to speak to the registrar outside. Lol my thought was OMG he is going to punch that doctor. When they came back in the doctor made vague noises but DF came out and asked me if i wanted a c/s (WTF). Luckily my g/f was my other support person and she told him it wouldn't be much longer and she was right. They had gone to get the head obs and by the time he got down there (15 mins max) I had gone from 6cm to 10cm and he told me to start pushing.

DF had absolutely no idea what to expect and certainly not the pain involved (read the book earlier d*ckhead) so he just held my hand and told me he loved me and that he would never put me through this again (yeah right lol).

The funny thing was he didn't want to watch her being born or to cut the cord but he did both, with a very white face mind you lol.

Sorry for the epic girls but the best advice is get them to study, study, study lol
