My best friend is a mother of 4, and she told me that when she was having baby number one, she ripped off her hospital gown and flung it on the floor just because it was bugging her...lol.
I don't doubt that my modesty will flee a little. However, I still don't think I want my FATHER in the room looking at my hoo ha. for some reason, he wants to be present. UGH.
OMG THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING FUNNY!!!!!
I am literally busting out laughing over here.... thanks, I needed that.
As for your dad being with you, I know I would feel wierded out too. However, he won't see your hooha as he will most likely be with the end of you where your head is. *chuckle*
Maybe he wasn't present when you were born and perhaps he sees this way as something special now that your mother is no longer with you?
I know he is remarried and I am totally speculating.
Forgive me if I over-step my boundaries... but there is a part of me that can understand why he might want to be there to help you.... You know, no matter how old and grown you are, you will ALWAYS be his baby.
I know you didn't ask my advice and totally ignore me as I am talking about of my ass.... but if as your times draws closer (you will know because your modesty will go right the heck out the window) if your father still wants to be there and it suits you, try to see if you can share that with him.
I was present when my sister delivered her first two and my sister was present (along with my oldest daughter who was only just over 4 at the time) when my youngest was born.
I can't begin to tell you what a life-altering experience it was for me as the one giving birth and also for me as the one sharing the experience.
My sister and I and the children we watched come into the world share an amazing bond because of it.
Thank you for reminding me. I hadn't thought about that for a very long time.
