It’s my partners first baby so he has no idea what to expect in the delivery room.
Does anyone have any links to funny YouTube videos that will tell him what to expect and do/not do when I’m in labour? Someone like ladbaby would be ideal.
Thanks

Birth is neither lighthearted nor funny and I think you'd be better to prepare him for the realities and how he can actually support you during the most challenging hours/days of your life instead of sugarcoating it with humour.

Hypnobirthing isn't everyone's cup of tea and doesn't always go to plan but doing the course really showed my DH how important his role was in looking after me and advocating for me.

Umm right ok. This is my 4th baby so I’m pretty geared up with what to expect. We have a good sense of humour between us and spend most of our time laughing.
I could quite easily find a vlog that says ‘rub your partners back and remind her to breathe’ but wanted something with a twist we can relate to

True story. Took my TENS machine. Dh changed the batteries while I had it on. Came on full powered and I nearly flew off the bed! Definitely lightened the mood. Serious business but should be enjoyable too imo. Had a lovely birth tbh.

Watch "The miracle of birth" by crazy ex girlfriend. I've watched a million times.

There's a thread in classics "Funniest bit of childbirth" which made me laugh.

Good luck with number 4 ! Smile

Don't show him a video like that because if DP had rubbed my back and told me to breathe he wouldn't have remained in the room for long...!

@girlmom21 RIGHT! We need to laugh at this. I’ll get stressed out if it’s all serious!
