Do you think its the blood that bothers him? My husband cut Seth's cord after the cord had been left to pulsate so the cord didn't bleed when he cut it, do you think that would help your DH?

If he's worried about the sensation I've heard its similar to cutting through a piece of licorice.

But as Kelly says try not to worry about it, the whole thing and take it as it comes, and yes if DH doesn't cut the cord there is no reason why you can't. Just discuss it with your OB first so he/she knows its what you want at the time.
