i thinks someones dh's needs a good kick up the pants (and just this once, it's not mine! ) I'd be ****ed too. This is his child being born, ffs...

My hospital kicked dh out an hour after bubs was born, because it was the middle of the night and not visiting hours. i was ropeable. So it might be a moot point if your hossy is as horrible as mine was. It is nice to have your partner ther as long as possible- for the company, the debrief, someone to complain to who has to listen, and to run to the vending machine when you feel the need for chocolate
