Wait. This is common? I was there for every second of my child’s birth.

Have you seen all the TikTok of guys bringing their gaming consoles to the birthing rooms? God forbid they try and be attentive to these women bearing their children. You can just see the divorce brewing .

Me and my husband brought a gaming console and played together during the first part of labor. 😄 it was an induction so we were prepared for it to take a long time. It was so nice to have something relaxing to do and just chill.

But the second my contractions started to become intense we stopped playing and his focus was 100 percent on me.

Yeah I feel like my partner would totally want her switch at least early on. She uses animal crossing to distract her when she's sick anyway so I figure the same principle might apply.
