Labor Room

Thank you - just because the labour room doesnt appeal to ME, 'sisterhood' is going nuts.

OK, how's this for a deal. PM me all your due-dates and I'll turn up!!!!

Re: Labor Room

lol haha...hahha...

Its personal matter and choice ,there is nothing wrong with having husband or mother,sister around you but there are women who wants to be alone in labour room which is also fine .I dont think a husband who isnt present in the labourroom care less for his wife and kid or wont be there to help after having kid .

Well i had to respond to his post since he told me that there was "a world of difference between a flu and labor room". Wouldn't you take that as ok ... her guy doesn't know what he is talking about or knows what he is getting into?

And anyways...another funny point i have to bring up. The whole "world of different between flu and labour room" - he has never been in labour room???? Sure he may know that it is a very "gross" experience. But he also doesn't know the positives right?

Read my original first post where I also said that if his wife and him had no problem with it ...then thats all good. (or something along those lines). But it was odd that he felt the need to defend the fact that even though he did not go into the labour room - he has been very helpful towards his kids and wife during their time of need. That was not the topic of this thread? Guy shouldn't even have to say anything to prove how helpful and kind they are towards their wife and children.

If his post had been "My wife did not want me in the labour room and I respected her wishes". Trust me ...there would have been probably different types of reactions.

I think that as in response to your post that your man looked after you when you had the flu...wow, big deal. Ive been doing that all my married life. It really is no big deal.

Re: Labor Room

no the point was that he was there for me so that i wasn't alone in a hospital. thanks.

yes atleast in agha khan hospital in karachi they do allow hubbies to be with u in the labor room ...i gave birth to a lovely baby boy this september in aghakhan hospital n my hubby was all the time with me n i felt so secure being with him at that moment we saw our baby together it was just great ...he waz there with me even i waz being stiched up...dont know about other hospitals in pak

Very few hospitals allow it. My wifes sisters both gave birth last month within 2 days of each other. One in Multan, one in Faisalabad.

Husbands allowed nowhere near wives!

My wife tels me if you have a private room etc - then its ok, but that is rare exception.

If you are from outside Pak (UK/USA etc) and giving birth in Pak, the mums & dads tend to get on their high horses about it and feel as though its their god-given right to allow the dad in...
