Did your partner want to cut the umbilical cord?

Df always said he wouldn't do it so with DD1 my sister did it seeing as she was also a support person DD2 I thought why shouldn't I do this myself after all the hard work so that's what I did.

We'd discussed it beforehand, DH didn't seem terribly fussed either way - but I suppose since the assumption is there that Dad cuts the cord, he did it. Both times, no freakouts (not that he's squeamish but you have to admit it is a bit 'yuck' if you've never so much as watched a dog have puppies before, kwim?), I think he was a bit surprised at the consistency of it (he told me, at the time too lol, it was like cutting gristle), but yeah. I don't think it would have worried him either way whether he did it or not, I think he was more inclined to do it for DD1 just so he could 'stake his claim' over my mum who was also there, and then when DD2 arrived it was all old news, he did it no hassles

DH didn't want to do it, but he suprised me (and himself!) by doing it. And yeah, big grissley sausage

DS - No, because of a complicated birth.

DD - Yes
