Did your partner want to cut the umbilical cord?

Yes all 3 times and no problems, he didn't even hesitate, took it as a right of the father!

DH delivered DD and cut the cord he was quite chuffed to and loved it! He wasn't sure throughout the first half or so of the pregnancy if he would though

My DH also delivered my DD, and yes he cut the cord.

I'm not the least bit squeamish, but I just can't see the point. It seems like a big cliche to me. The woman does all the work, and the bloke rocks in at the end and cuts the cord for no reason. Same as the cliche where the woman spends all day on the roast, and hubby comes in at the end to carve it, as if to imply the woman isn't primal enough to prepare the beast for eating. But I digress.

Not saying I won't do it, but I just don't care really.

Lol. I miss Slyder.

DH did, but said it gave him the willies and he's not sure about doing the next one

I think it is a nice way for dads to be involved.
