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.
My husband and I brought my iPad, we watched a movie and took a nap because I had been contracting for 13 hours at that point and we didn't sleep all night. This of course was after I got the epidural.

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