Okay this didn't pop into my head into just down but my husband is VERY squeamish, like one time when our daughter Fawn was learning to walk she fell down the hill in front of our house and got scraped and he threw up, and when I would have morning sickess he couldn't even look at me or he would get sick and when we to pick up our daughter like when we adopted her he saw pigs feet hanging in the window of a restaurant and almost fainted.

It's a miracle that we could afford and that the IVF actually worked and we turned out with 3 beautiful miracles so I really don't think he'll miss the birth but since the ob/gyn said I could probaly get away with not having a c-section it might really freak him out.

Is anyone else hubby's like this?
Or can anyone give me advice?
This wouldn't be a problem if my mom could be here or my sisters but they live back in California and now I'm living in Maine and they wont be here til the babies are 2 weeks

Oooh yes, my husband is VERY squeamish--just with other people's blood though, and so if he gets a big cut he'll just shrug it off, and get some bandages, but if our daughter Michelle gets sick or hurt he gets freaked out, haha.

He wasn't in the delivery room when I was having our first child, and I didn't have a C-section, or anything like that. My sister was in there with me instead, and he, my brother, and my mom were in the waiting room, well, waiting, haha!

Is there any way that you could get your sisters or mom in sooner? Or, if not, and if you still don't want your husband in there, then what about a close friend or cousin, or you could even go into the delivery room yourself! Whatever works, and if nothing else then your husband might just have to pull it together and make it through, haha

HEY MY HUBBY WASN'T LIKE THAT BUT MY BROTHER IN LAW IS VERY SQUEAMISH AND WE WERE AFRAID HE WOULD FAINT OR SOMETHING DURING MY SIS IN LAWS DELVERY BUT HE WAS GOOD. AT FIRST HE STOOD AT HER HEAD WHERE HE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING BUT WHEN YOU COULD SEE THE HEAD I TALKED HIM INTO COMEING DOWN AND LOOKING AT FIRST HE DIDN'T WANT TO BUT THE FIRST TIME HE SAW THE HEAD OF HIS SON COMING OUT HE WASN'T THINKING ABOUT THE BLOOD OR ANYTHING ELSE. SO YOUR HUBY COULD STAND AT YOUR HEAD AND GIVE YOU ENCOURAGEMENT AND NEVER HAVE TO REALLY SEE ANYTHING.

My husband is squeamish with blood. You can litterly watch him turn green if he sees too much of it. He's never thrown up at it but you can tell he wants to. I wish him much luck with 2 boys on the way, he'll just have to get over it.

Tyler plans on toughing it out for me and our sons but he just might need some breaks, either just looking away for awhile or leaving the room to get his stomach back in place. Luckily if he cant do it i'll have family there who can step in. You should definately see if a friend or family can come. Where's his family? Maybe your mother in law or sisters in law could be there for you?Im sure whether you have a c section or a natural birth you will need the support, especially if your husband cannot be with you.

the only other thing i can suggest is you make your doctor and nurses very aware of your husbands problem. They might have some suggestions for him. Also if he chooses to stay with you and he gets sick or passes out the doctors will be more prepared for that. They might have a spare nurse or someone there to keep an eye on him specifically. And if you need as c section they might not want someone who could throw up in the operating room, i dont know just a guess based on the need for a steril environment to do surgery. You should probably discuss this with your doctor as soon as possible so he or she can think things out and offer suggestions well in advance of the birth.

Good luck. I hope he can hang in there for you and the babies.

my husband isnt like that, but my sisters boyfriend is really squeamish, he took some gravol before his daughters birth and got through it ok.

We watched all those TLC/Discovery Health shows about like having babies, just to kind of like warm him up. I really don't know if it worked becauseon commercial brakes he'd put his head in his lap and like gag.
It was actaully funny though, today when Fawn and I were at our big sisters to be and mommy class they have an activity where each child says what they will do to help mommy once the babies come, and Fawn offered to go first and says "Well since my Chi (that's daddy but when we first adopted her she just heard me calling him Chris and she'd say Chi so it stuck) is always sick i'll be dere when da babies get borned.
It was cute.

My sister in law said she'd be there, if Chris can't do it, which would be okay, she has two sets of twins and the older set were 9lbs and 8lbs and 13 oz and she had them naturaly so I'd be comfortable with her.
