What kind of country do you live in where that's okay? Or even if not okay, common...
Granted I'm no father yet but my girlfriend means too much to me to be able to abandon her if she needs me by her side normally, let alone during childbirth
Yeah… I know a labor a delivery nurse who says this is actually common…. That or bringing a whole ass video game console or both. I took a week off from work to help my wife after our kids birth and got asked if my vagina healed when I returned to work. Come to find out most of them never changed a diaper. Eye opening.
That’s insane. I remember the first week home from the hospital, I slept maybe 6 hours all week because I refused to let my wife do anything except sleep. Nothing prepares you for the amount of blood that comes after a relatively normal vaginal birth. Luckily my mother in law was there to make sure baby was okay, because I refused to leave my wife’s side while they were pushing out clots and what seemed like liters of blood. I was so scared for her despite every medical professional being so nonchalant about the entire ordeal
