Birthing pool do men get in too?

[Welshbeef]

As per title does the man get into the birthing pool with the wife partner.

I'm worried that I'd get covered with discharge birthing blood and the maternal poo....
Help please.


Sorry for posting in general gassing but I've no idea where this topic would sit.

(serious question btw)

No.

No, you just turn up with some paper boats and bath ducks.

[jonnydrama]

Yes, you are allowed to. A guy in one of my birth class things asked this very question.

[diddly69]

Make sure you have your underwater camera at the ready

I wanted to ask this at antinatal classes but fist want to sound thick. And googling it gets me on to XXX sites

If you'd ever seen the state of one afterwards then you wouldn't ask I'd rather swim in the Thames.

If you are from Brighton, then yes (with fishing net).

And then you show your relatives the pictures of you naked in the pool.

Bleach/eyes.

Tea that's what in worried about being covered in pop and blood and vaginal discharge. Hmm
But it's a special moment.

I wouldn't do this. My wife used one for the birth of our son. It wasn't exactly the size of a swimming pool and I quickly realised she wouldn't have wanted me in there with her anyway. You can be just as close stood outside of the pool and you won't be in the way if things start to get urgent. The blood and stuff wouldn't bother me, but that's just my opinion.

I doubt any bloke would want to get in .
Both my children were born in a birthing pool (same pool actually) and it had sections built on the sides for you to kneel on.

Only if you sit in the corner masturbating furiously over the fit mid-wife.

Anyone else want the rest of my tea?

Can you have the theme tune to Jaws playing in the background?

That reminds me of my first wife. She was so immature.

Whenever I was in the bath she would come into the room and sink all my toy boats......

Mrs H67 had our first born in a birthing pool, I was given a sieve. I used it to catch several "fish" that appeared at various times during the proceedings. I ended up looking like an extra from a slash movie but came out ahead as the pool liner made an excellent raincover for my Honda 125.

Selective quoting, ain't it a bh?

For Christ's sake Beefy, don't even think about it. Stay up the clean end on brow-mopping duty: don't even look down there

Jesus, I can't believe you'd even think of getting in the pool... what possible use would you be in there?

You might be lucky though ... my missus gave birth whilst the thing was still being filled
