To be pissed of with my husband because he said.....

hmm, am trying to play devil's advocate and say something nice about him.

nope, can't.

stupid twunt

What qualifies him to say anything like that! He is a man. Ask him how feels about squeezing a grapefruit out of private parts!

Ohh I am for you!

Men

Give him a good kick in the tiddies and say 'well if you had worn a groin guard and had some sort of clairvoyance, that wouldn't have hurt would it?'

With the best pelvic floor in the world, the baby's hardly going to fly out.

And how's he supposed to be able to see that the birth will be easy.

(I hope it is, but lay it on thick afterwards and hopefully you'll be pampered).

Does he not realise that his job - his only job until after it is born - is to reassure you and try to calm you down when you have worries like this?

eeeeejit

Oh don't be so hard on him. To a man that is a reassuring reply.

Utter rubbish. Doing pelvic floor exercises doesn't mean an easy birth anyway. I would go with gscrym's reply and kick him where it hurts . Seriously though I would be very pissed off at that and would talk to him about it.

never thought of that, pru.....

The best reassurance I can give is that when you are holding your beautiful baby in your arms you will forget entirely what you have just been thourgh!

Oh if men could get pregnant, mat leave would be longer, there would be competitions to see who could use the least gas and air. They'd be showing off their stretch marks in the pub and bragging about who had the worst tear.

I go back to my suggestion of a good kick in the haw maws.

If he'd said he wishes he were pregnant instead of you so that he could save you from the pain and discomfort, ok.

He didn't..... so I stand by my original opinion.

Agree with gscrym re: kicking in the nuts

I didn't do many pelvic floor exercises and ds2 did 'fly' out - and he had a large head! So, he's wrong

It's just a comment to make you feel better, from the male perspective. The but obviously bit however wasn't very helpful. Clearly you he and all of us know that no matter what you do you can never guarantee there won't be problems with a birth.

Yes, he can't be pregnant for you but he can do things like take paternity leave after to help etc.

he knows nothing but he is trying. My DP would probably think a pelvic floor exercise is something women soliders do when crawling under nets in the army.

i think he was trying to be helpful, especially as he said that he would like to be pregnancy for you !
give him a break ! and give him some books to read about birth, so he knows there is more to it than doing your pelvic floor exercises
at least he is taking an interest !
cannot actually believe this is a 'kick in the nuts' offence !

sorry, it is not that bad imho!

Apparently body fitness or lack of it has no bearing on the speed or ease of the delivery, and neither does the size of the baby. I read that somewhere.
