I would like some clarity about which comments were about men and making them look stupid. I certainly hadn't intended for my DH to look stupid, because he's not - but in answer to the original question, my DH is not as informed about the birth as I am.

I would also say that I don't expect my DH to be as informed, or at least informed in the way I am, because he's not the one giving birth. He only needs to be informed enough to support me and to be involved, whereas I need to be informed enough to do the birthing. The same could be said of breastfeeding - I need to be informed (for my own piece of mind and my own understanding) so that I can try it and hope it works. My DH only needs to be informed enough to respect the process, my needs and baby's needs so that he can support me to do it. Does that make sense?
