Honestly I think it’s weird that culturally we’ve leaned into making birth a weird medical horror date night. Isn’t it better to just not be in the doctors’ way?

Honestly, you kind of have to be there to make sure your partner is getting the appropriate care, along with providing emotional support for a long, exhausting and painful process.
Valid point, especially in cases like these where a misogynistic doctor might tune out a woman until her partner also goes squeaky-wheel.
Obvious bait
I don’t think anyone is aloof enough to watch porn during delivery. Watching it while everyone is waiting and the doctors don’t want you interfering with their procedure? Probably if you’re that much of a cumbrain. The more realistic scenario I can see is the husband just standing there awkwardly in the back because he doesn’t want to be ‘disgusted’ by the sight
L&D nurses have had to forcibly remove husbands off their post-partum wives because they were trying to force themselves on them. It is a disgusting world out there.
My partner had to get an endoscopy a couple of weeks ago and I sat with her the whole time, holding her hand and talking
The only time she was out of my sight was during the actual procedure and the second she was in recovery, I went back and sat with her until she was ready to have me drive her back home
I can’t even imagine doing any less for someone I love
what in the fuck
