As a dad myself, dudes who willingly deny themselves being in the presence of the miracle of childbirth let alone being there for the entirety of what comes after baffles me.
My wife had a C-section, so I drew the line at seeing her guts spilled out into a metal bowl.
They offered to let me see or take pictures, but I stayed behind the curtain.
I wanted to talk with her, to be present by her head, but also to live in the moment. I cut the cord and the nurses repeatedly offered to take my picture with my phone, I said no again. I wanted to live in the moment. I didn't want to think about viewing angles.
