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.
That's what I thought they were all doing lol. Like, I'm gonna be there to support my wife or whatever but do you want me to just stare at a wall for 36 hours or whatever? I can keep myself occupied

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