I have also heard ..only heard that these so called shareef maasoom ladkis turn into a Xena Warrior when confronted by a bichaara hubby.
I’ve been in a lot delivery rooms…and those women weren’t even my wives 
fg: i can tell ya…experiencing a delivery as a by-stander is something you won’t forget…you get to hear a lot of things you can use against your wife later on…make sure to bring along an audiorecorder 
My cousin brother was in the delivery room and his wife threathened to castrate him if he ever put her in the same position again :D

This is primarily an Indian tradition. But I have heard some Pakistanis follow it as well.

Because this IS an Indian tradition and our people have applied itl, just like many others. There's no such rule in our culture or traditions where you have to go back to your amma's house in your last couple of months. It's up to you if you live in your inlaws or with your parents.
Destinee, you could have said all that in one sentence and in black. Just like the way I said it in the quote above.

^ I've never heard of a desi guy going into the delivery room. Is that changing now? Are they venturing in there?
[/QUOTE]
Almost all my friends had their hubbies with them when they were having their babies.Most of them were desi guys.Personally I dont know if I would want him there.
funguy, apply a specific style, so that you're known by that style of yours and when someone is talking about you, they'll be like "hey you know what that girl said who always writes in red..." etc.
And no, I couldn't have written that in one sentence, come on now!

You wouldn't want him there? WHy not? Wouldn;t you want to share the birth of your child with him? Unless of course it's the postman's :D

I've heard that women go totally bezerk in labor. They scream and shout out obscenities too. ..

without an epidural.. perhaps..
i don’t think it has to do with what some of you said, that since she can’t do chores or have sex, then she’s useless…when i’m pregnant, I’d rather be with my mother than with my in laws. I’d just be happier there i guess. It depends on the inlaws too though.
but one thing i’m sure of, he better be there when i deliver.
it depends on what kind of in-laws u have. i guess its just a bit easier when u around ur own mom at that time.
Actually think this has happened with some of my relatives in Pak, and it seems to be done on the wifes demand.
I dont know why, maybe they get emotional or something. Or maybe they want the new born to be attached to their families.
Sigh, I had to wait 2 weeks before I was able to see my new cousin. And dont know how much longer she would have stayed away if we hadnt gone.
Its a stupid tradition, that's what it is. The husband should have to experience the whole 9 months. It takes two to tango. Why should he get off scotch free for 9 months?
AND he should be in the delivery room. HOLDING his wife's hand. Six stitches hi sahi.
I think its because a girl would probably wana be close to her mum wen shes about to or just after the delivery. i dont think its got anything to do with her being unfit to work and therefore being sent to her maika.
