I suppose i should know really but i was reading the other thread and it seems like my perceptions are a bit out based on the othe thread.
I was at sils 3rd birth (her dh wasnt at any) i occupied her kids till bil came home to look after them, then at hosp i held her hand and sat next to her, after she had baby i cuddled it while they sorted out placenta (her wish) and passed the mw her pants out a bag
At my first birth, i spent some early labour at sil house, then dh drove me to mlw unit at hosp, i think mw told him to remind me to breathe in g and a (but i picked up on that quick) we were in room alone till i said i was pushing
He sat there while i pushed and didnt DO much, not that i wanted him to
At second birth he phoned for ambulance, insisted they come when they thought we just wanted a free ride to hosp, and then when paramedics arrived took some gruesome pictures
