Advice: To expectant mom, a husband giving labor support “makes no sense”
I want to have either my mom or my sister as my support person and have my husband come in right after the baby is born. I’m not comfortable having someone who has absolutely no experience giving birth whatsoever as my support person. That just makes no sense to me.
But I can’t support your making this decision without even trying to understand a husband and father’s emotional ache for inclusion. As you say yourself in arguing for a female attendant, the person at your side is a participant, not a spectator. A good support person holds your hand, keeps your spirits up, plays your music, reads your mood, advocates for you with the medical staff, keeps you company for hourrrrrs in most cases — and, yes, shares with you the unforgettable moment of the birth of your — that’s the plural “your,” not singular — child.
