When I was in school the girls watched that. We boys got an extra hour to go out and play baseball. They taped newspaper over the windows so we couldn't see what was going on.
Stayed the first night with both (actually two nights in a row with our daughter due to the issues but went home at 6 to shower change etc). Second night I went home to make sure everything was ready since both were expected but not that day. Also did the whole gave the dog and cat something of the baby to smell.
Also tip to DH if you lurk or CG to pass it on. Focus on her head/face don't even think about looking past those legs.
We went to Lamaze class for our first. Learned how to breathe and all that ********. When the baby was coming, I tried to help, and my wife said in a very clear and threatening manner, "STOP BREATHING!"
I stayed the whole time with both of my younger ones. I was joking earlier about the chair and whatnot, but I can honestly say a couple of the nights I slept in that room on the chair that converts into sort of a chaise lounge were some of my most miserable. For one kid, it was below zero outside each night and the chair was right next to a single pane window so I could feel a below zero wind through the cracks around the window and all I had was a single adult sized baby blanket. And it was a moderately uncomfortable hard as a rock institutional upholstered chair but as a bed it felt like sleeping on a crowned board so if you weren't kept awake by the wind, cold and hard surface you were awakened again by the sensation of rolling off the damned thing.When Alana was born, I was taking pictures in the room - like, hundreds of them.

I stayed because we wanted our kids in our room with us rather than in the nursery. When the last was born my in-laws stayed at the house with the other one so I could be there the whole time. Since both were C-sections Mom fed and I did everything else because a C-section makes Mom - you know - a surgery patient.
Despite my complaining, if had to do it again I wouldn't change a thing.
We were at 41 weeks with our first and nothing - and I mean nothing - was happening. Our OB/GYN scheduled the C-Section at that point because she said, "Nothing good happens after 41 weeks." When she was open for the C-section it was apparent that some things were a little off in there so we expected that we would have to have C-sections in the future. In addition the doctor held up the umbilical that had been wrapped around the baby's neck and showed us that it had a loose knot in it as well. Both would have been bad news in a Vag delivery. When we got close to the due date for the youngest we just went ahead and scheduled it.
The monitors of the Cave might disagree.
Nice try. Both of mine were drug-free except for a pudenda block before the episiotomy on #1. Didn't even have an episiotomy with #2 as he arrived faster than they expected and he was delivered by a nurse. Doc arrived in his pajamas about a minute later.
Sometimes you just can't wait, ya know? (Carvers will understand that one)
I LOVE IT!!!
I thought I was the only one who did that to distract myself from pain/discomfort. I still do it every time I get my teeth cleaned.
I slept in the room for the whole time with kid 1, one night with kid 2 and no nights with kid 3.
My advice to DH is: you dun messed up. You can’t take this back now.
My daughter had prom last weekend (she just went with a group of friends). When I went to prom, I'm pretty sure we took 3 pictures. One at my house, one at the girl's house and one at the dance. The group went to a scenic location and my wife took 162 pictures of my daughter going to prom.When Alana was born, I was taking pictures in the room - like, hundreds of them.

Is this a Pudenda block?
I've never tried it but I suppose it would help you to push a bit faster.
On a totally different note, I took my first visit/tour of Iowa State and freaking loved it
