I was at the business end for the first one.. a footling.. complicated birth. Very worried and terrified for my ex and my son... the next two were straight forward and I was delighted to welcome them into the world |

Caesars both times ....
First was an emergency section and the second elective ....
so I never actually got to see the birth ... But was present in the delivery room  |

Yes. It was simultaneously the most moving, wonderful experience of my life as I was filled with a kind of awe I suppose and an immediate feeling of a deep connection and love; as well as scary hell because he was so premature and needed help breathing and my wife had lost so much blood because of birth complications. I felt helpless and just wept |

Emergency caesarian section twins after seeing them quickly removed all hell broke loose as eclampsia set in . I have seen more of my partner than most would wish . She is still here to tell the tale . My story is one of pride that I didn't faint during the proceedings  |

I've had three sections my ex came in with me for all three, he kept getting a bollocking with the last one cause he kept going down the bottom end to watch, apparently if you have a section your not allowed to watch your child actually coming out  |

Was there for both of my kids births. I will admit I broke my heart when they both came out. Such an emotional experience even fed them whilst my wife composed herself afterwards |

Mr was there when I gave birth, he was top end with me but when I struggled to push he had a look ans when he said he could see our babies head of hair that made me push so I could see him. Me, him and the midwife in the room, im sure his version of events happened differently but he did brilliantly in my eyes |

I was there for all of them. I delivered my third she came out like a catapult, labour less than the ambulance took to get there, I was wondered how to get her to cry and how hard to slap her bottom, luckily, she cried without any help from me. The irony was I seemed to know what to do, I didn't panic, she popped out, funny thing is she was always a daddies girl.
How did I feel like I do whenever I see them now, I speak to my children at least twice a week, but when I see them, I cry I never do otherwise, I feel so embarrassed now, my daughters cry too, but my son taunts me, he'll understand on day. |

Yes I was, to be honest, I didn't like it very much and as soon as my son was born, I felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility, he's now 21, and I love that boy as much as I did when I first saw him. I'm a very very proud dad |

Thanks! Thankfully I've also been on the other side at a friends labour so I can understand why men would seem so "unhelpful" I dont think id ever judge the way my man is at anymore of our births, just hope the next goes as smoothly haha |

as with my daughters birth we found out early so bought in for the birth
a bit complicated as childs back bone was on mrs backbone at birth it was either c section but was refused as too far i believe
she had to give birth on all 4s
I got in trouble from her as I wanted to see the birth of first child her second child so whilst holding her hand i was going to have a look then got dragged back up top again
she also bent the bed frame whilst giving birth
after birth i cried as was so happy for all 3 of us
and then informed all family that we had a daughter at ... time
she wanted out i said no shes staying in hospital overnight to get her rest so picked son up and went home to bed for the night then son and i went to collect his mum and his sister from hospital the day after after discharge
then a year later became the career of both children |

My ex was there. Elective section, which he said I didnt need (hundreds of women have had kids, it can't be that painful). Kind of set the tone for gargantuan knob ish behaviour. He bogied ogf when she was tiny, hasn't seen or asked after her in 8 months, including when I was rushed into hospital and he was informed. And ive got to go to court soon to try and stop him getting full custody. |

Being at the births of all my grandchildren I came to realise it's worse for someone watching than the mother. I only cried once when my son in law cried as my granddaughter was born. |

I was at my 1st and 3rd missed my second one due to working away. Proud of all my boys. The hardest one was the 3rd ex had preaclamsia and developed heart problems I had to juggle work and look after the other kids.she was in hospital for a month thought I was gonna loose the both. Thank god they both survived that was 7 years ago.she still has heart problems even though we're no longer together I would still always be there for her if she struggles and proud of her they way she copes with the heart problems. |

I was there, it was a mixture of pride, fear, and overwhelming joy, little helpless beings that needed me, would I be able to be a good dad, I don't know if I am, but I do what I can and I tell them everyday that I love them, and now it's me that needs them, they are my joy, and all the love I'll ever need, I love being a dad |

I'm pushing 30 years old now.
If I was the type of bloke that is supposed to have kids. .I think it would have happened by now.
That being said. I'd make an epic dad.
But that's never going to happen. |

Lovely, all you dads. I personally would prefer to be dragged naked over a field of broken glass with my tongue wrapped around a Harley Davidson's exhaust pipe. And I am really not sure that this site is the right one for this sort of subject. Call me a sour beggar. |

Scared.
My wife had an emergency section after being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia. The docs lost track of the baby's heartbeat. She was being cut open before she was fully flat on her back. No was born effectively dead and needed resuscitating. And several weeks on neo natal. Because no room in the hospital he was born in, in neo, he was transferred to a different hospital to my wife
Wife went from bad to worse, and 3 days later I was told she wouldn't make it through the night. Her blood pressure was off the charts, literally. She made it through that night. Next night she was found unconscious fallen off her hospital bed. Needed resuscitating.
Fortunately, everybody ok now. God bless the NHS, they were absolutely fantastic |

I was there for both of mine.
My first, my daughter, was delivered by emergency cesearian section, but my son, two years and a month later, was a much more normal affair. In fact, the only pain relief the ex needed was gas and air. |

Men produce new sperm until the day they kick the bucket.... 30 is plenty young enough to have kids - my daughter was born when I was 28 and I am a pretty young dad compared to most at the school. |
