Prince Harry's brought another view to giving birth

[Boffing]

I've just realised that my DH of 22 years has never thanked me for going through that (x3).

Yeah, what a great man. Finally someone understands. 🙄

I thought he was very genuine, and a very happy elated new Dad. I would also think (or hope) that Meghan had a fairly uncomplicated delivery.... DH said that after our 1st was born (brutal theatre forceps delivery followed by massive PPH and allergic reaction to some meds), he went home and sat in the dark sobbing as he was so horrified by it all. I think he took about 2 weeks to look like Harry did today

Right, become personally insulting when someone expresses a different opinion, Whisky.

But I see the usual Reddit and Tumblr royal sycophants have arrived to lick royal arse and get yet another thread deleted as they all usually go.

Mine neither Boffing!

Giving birth is simply a bodily function?? Really?? So when you take a dump or pass urine, are you risking ripping your bits in half, bleeding, going through 12 hours or more of excruciating pain, potentially ending up with PTSD? Wow, either you don't understand birth or you have some seriously abnormal bodily functions google

There is absolutely nothing wrong with thanking your wife/partner for carrying and birthing your precious child. It is an incredible moment, when you meet him or her for the first time. It is amazing what our bodies are capable of. It really makes you see just how strong our bodies are. I am a midwife and it amazes me every single day what women are capable of. The day I reduce birth to a 'bodily function' is the day I would need to be leaving my job to be honest!

It was a long time coming but, in the end, Harry's short heartfelt speech and clear awe at the everyday miracle he had just witnessed knocked spots off all those stilted 'nailed-on smiles whilst exiting the hospital' photo calls which other royal couples have felt obliged to undertake in recent times.

^ totally agree.

It's nothing to do with his position that I loved his announcement but rather it was genuine and his feeling was genuine and his love for his wife and child is genuine.
Not a staged photo shoot (although I get it was still a press conference!)

My feelings towards that announcement would have been the same if it was Joe Nobody from down the road who I'd never seen before in my life.

What I want to know is when these Royals give birth do they scream at their DH to 'fuck off' and YOU'RE NEVER COMING NEAR ME AGAIN

😂🤣

My XH said “I love you more than ever, now you’ve had our child” .

Didn’t stop him fucking off 4 years later, but it was appreciated at the time 😂

My xDH laughed at me crying/ sleeping/ almost dying...I shit you not.

That’s why he’s an x!

I thought Harry speech was lovely, and appreciative of his wife’s effort. Love him!

People, don't feed the trolls. 🤫

I got a “go oooonnnnn”
Abit Like thankyou

I had a poo and gave birth at the same time. Do I get a Dame Hood ?

After a long drawn out labour DH kept hugging me and telling me how proud he was. It was lovely.

@FannyWork I think the poster you referred to was being lighthearted 🙂

Also, when Man And Woman Want Kids, So Woman Gestates and Gives Birth To Kids, it is nice that there is an acknowledgement from Man that Woman has sacrificed and endured considerably more than he did in order for Them to have Their Kid. (Capitalisation was intentional but am now thinking it all looks a bit A.A. Milne 🤔)

I never got a thank you or a well done, but then I didn’t succeed either time! Maybe if I’d done it the natural way he’d of been in awe.
I watched my best friend give birth naturally and kept telling her how amazing she was!

DH was already a father when we met, but he was so excited throughout my pregnancy and thanked me for making our family complete and making him so happy after DS was born. It made up for him not being at the birth - he also bought me an eternity ring.

My DH got me a thank you card 😂 He wrote a lovely message in it saying how thankful he was that I had given him the family he had always wanted. He’s lovely he is

When I'd given birth I didn't get a Thankyou or appreciation from XP.

He however got a cup of tea and donut from the lovely nurse on ward duty.

To be fair to him though I'd been rushed in for EMCS and he didn't know - and so he was suddenly being told his ds was in nursery and DP still in theatre and he'd passed out from shock.

He was appreciative and in awe once conscious though.

There might be a man somewhere who will be more appreciative, or appreciative at all, because of what Harry has said.

It doesn't matter how the baby comes out, you are still bloody amazing to go through pregnancy and any type of delivery and recovery ! Have some

I was struck by the difference between the stance before birth - we'll tell you after we've had time to ourselves, no photographs - and the obviously thrilled new father who couldn't wait to tell the press and also said they'd see them in two days for photos. I thought it was sweet, not the first parents to think they'd do things differently until you are actually presented with the baby

I don't remember my DH thanking me at the time, but he did cry when baby arrived so he wasn't saying much at all!

I really don't like the Royal family or anything they stand for but I thought Harry was lovely today. The wee hop of excitement was very sweet, it was very nice to see, as it is with any new dad.
