Singing to a wife in labour
- Thread starter dick
- Start date
She must have been drugged, maybe I should have let them drug me?? The sound of my husbands voice when I was in labour made me want to rip his bits off and feed them to the seagulls. :hungry:
I've mellowed, has you can see since then. Being at the birth of my grandkids and seeing the in law getting massacred brought back some happy memories. :respect:
Was it better for men when they had to sit outside do you think?

I think we covered much of this once before ,(apart from t' singing ) I think I said then that I was much happier downstairs mending the fire and mashing the tea and coffee.

I missed the first as it happened in 1966 and I was not
allowed into the delivery room. In fact, they sent me home!!
But for the next two, we took "classes" in Woodstock NY (yes,
that Woodstock) and I was in the delivery room for the whole
show. Would not have missed those for anything. Not near
the noise one hears in Call the Midwife, but really dramatic.
But how would your wife have reacted if you had burst into song?

I was threatening everyone!!!!! My drugs were wearing off and too late for more. I was actually bribing the nurses to give me cranberry juice on ice. I offered them $100. I was delirious. That was for #2. I don't think I would have cared for the singing. It would sound like a bunch of twonk!

Actually when my son was born I had to behave. At the time I was a senior manager in NHS and so my wife was in the private room in the maternity unit, personally assisted by the Director of Midwifery who was a lady i worked with - and attended in person by the consultant! As these were colleagues I really found it difficult to not still feel as if I was "at work".
