If your husband truly loves you ,seeing you bring his child into the world will only make him love you more. My husband did say that he will never ever look again at the crowning part but I don't blame
him that part was gross for me too. But my husband was the first to hold our daughter's hand, is something he is looking forward to with our next baby.

I totally understand I don't want my husband in there with me. But not because he wouldn't look at me the same way. Hes got a really weak stomach and prob just pass out anyway(he's a big baby) . So it would be easier on both of us if he wasn't in there. Lol

I'm the same way, I've heard stories of men saying they never looked at their wives/gfs the same way again. It is silly, but I still feel weird about it. My boyfriend is insisting he's in there though, he said he would be devastated if I didn't let him in, so I'm going to suck it up and let him be in the room with me. I'm a big baby when it comes to pain so ill probably need to be squeezing his hand anyways. I told him though that he has to stand up near me and if I catch him trying to sneak a peek that I wouldn't forgive him haha.

Lol I think its funny that some ladies feel like this .. I actually had this convo with a couple ladies (who had no kids) month's before I found out I was prego .. the whole not wanting your SO to see you in that way in fear that he won't look at you the same and I honestly think its silly :) but then again my hubby and I are so close its disgusting there's nothing we dnt see each other go through .. with my first he was right there by my side the whole time (plus my mom and his) we were young and he watched the baby come out, I went #2 on the table and all and it didn't change a thing lol and we were just teens .. now that were older the only ppl I feel weird about having in the room with me is my mom and his I feel like this time around were old enough to handle it ourselves and its our intimate special moment

I agree with avanburen. Ive been with my husband almost 7 years and I just dont want him to see me in that position. Ewww. And what if I poo?!?! omg!! Nope just not letting him in there. He can be in there till the pushing starts and he will turn away when they are checking me. Maybe ill change my mind??I dunno. Doubt it though :)

I don't want mine in because I'm worried he won't look at me the same. Lol. Kinda irrational fear but whatever. I like leaving a little bit of mystery in our relationship even though we do live together. But I don't want him missing the birth so I'm a little undecided. I did decide though no family coming top the hospital. I want us to bond with our baby before we introduce it to the world.

With my first I didn't want anyone in with me just for the waiting period. I just found it really weird and awkward but I ended up getting over it and my husband was in with me. I feel the same again but I figure he already saw it once so he can see it again.

I had my partner and mother in there. My partner was my end with gas and air and talking to me, my mum was in the middle. My mum cut the cord and caught the first moments on camera. I plan on my mum and partner again, and if its a home birth, my aunty and nan too. Maybe even MIL. I think its a gift, that definitly you should experience as a couple at least!  But each has their own decisions and opinions. As either of you want him in there i think thats fine.

I dont want any body in there with me. Except i do want my husband. But thats it. So were sorta on the same page. I guess if you both dont want him in there then its totally fine! My husband really really wants to be in there with me. He was in there with our first and i swear after my epidural it was soo boring waiting for her to come for 7 hours lol so im glad he was there. :)
