10 Shocking Truth About What Men Think Happens During Childbirth

Men have a lot of misconceptions about the female body and just like other misconceptions, they are confused about the childbirth too. Due to these misconceptions, men tend to panic more during childbirth as compared to their wife who’s actually pushing out a human from her vagina. It’s normal for men, nowadays to be present during childbirth and they develop some false notion about the childbirth and what happens during childbirth.

So let clear all those misconceptions about what men think happens during childbirth and let’s put all the things right for them!

1.There is going to be poop all over the table

This is the craziest misconception all men have about giving birth. Yes, she has to apply a lot of pressure but that surely doesn’t mean that she is going to poop all over the table.

2.She is going to remember and scream all the horrible things you did since you both met

That’s exactly why you are there with them, guys! She is going to target you and yell all the things you have done bad to her. Instead of believing that your partner is targeting you, be a little supportive. She’s clearly in a terrible amount of pain, so holding it against her isn’t going do you any good.

3.Everyone around you is yelling

Everything is chaotic and everyone around you is yelling. Even the doctors and nurse are screaming, despite the fact that they’ve done this kind of thing thousands of times.

4.Things sound worse that it can actually happen

Your partner may have complications or your baby may come out differently. Instead of panicking and worrying, you should support and be there for her.

5.There will be fluid all over

There will be goop all around you and that is an amniotic fluid that helped your baby survive and gave nutrition to him. Yes, a lot of amniotic fluid will be coming out but that doesn’t mean it’s going to build a swimming pool in the delivery room. You can relax now.

6.No! The vagina and anus is not one

Every man prepares himself for this and it’s the most insane notion that they form about childbirth. No, this can never ever happen. Yes, your partner is giving birth and a whole human being is coming out of her they don’t become one.

7.You baby will be swapped with someone else’s

After delivery, the baby is immediately taken into another room with all the other babies. The fear is unfounded, but still, you are terrified that your baby may be changed with someone else’s.

8.You wonder why people do it the second time

Seriously, how do people go through this process and then decide they want a second kid? How are people walking around with three or four children?

9.Cutting the umbilical cord

Why is there so much hype about cutting the umbilical cord? Yes, I know this is something you don’t do it every day. There’s no rule which states that only the husband is supposed to cut it. Anyone can.

10.You’ll get totally insane while choosing a name for your kid

It becomes your duty to fill the paperwork so now you are responsible for choosing your baby’s name. And if you name him/her with a name that your wife doesn’t like, you’re screwed, man!
