Zach gives me very strong “buys your coffee when he’s in front of you at the drive thru” vibes.

[@laurenbaker7570]

I love how Delilah wants to pry as much information out of Zach as possible. And he’s just like “yeah...maybe...not really...” 😂😂 you guys are so cute ❤️❤️

[@MyTwoCents0210]

The father’s role isn’t useless, it’s priceless during labor and delivery. Their support and presence is vital! When I was having contractions and getting my epidural my husband held me and it calmed me down tremendously. Our bond was much stronger after each delivery because of his support. So don’t feel useless, dads!!

[@kimberlyharness8074]

Yeah, my hubby felt really helpless and useless when our first was born. I’m hoping the circumstances will be better this time and he will be able to get in and be more hands on 😊 It really helps a man to have something tangible to be able to do!

[@lindseystein9676]

MyTwoCents yes I definitely agree! My husband helped me so much during the labor. He even helped the nurse hold my legs while I was pushing. It was awesome having him so involved and ready to do whatever he needed to do to help.

[@SarahdayZ]

They made my husband leave the room when they were doing mine🥺 my husband was working the day I was giving birth so I was in active labor for like 5 hours without him and I literally just cried the entire time nonstop. Until he got there. Everyone tried calling me down but I just needed him

[@chlorineblood3131]

I'm 17 y.o, I am actually far from things like pregnancy and babies, but I enjoy watching all your videos SO MUCH it is so calming and gives me filling of you know like being a family and peace :)

[@brennapetersen8522]

literally same.

[@pico404]

That is why I love to watch her so much 😭😭

[@ashboheme]

I am 18 and seriously relate to this comment so much! Haha!

[@jamie7002]

I agree with the husband’s biggest role is being your “voice” during labour. As your birth partner your husband has to be your advocate and communicator during those moments when you’re screaming. My husband was amazing at that during my labour, and when we ended up having an emergency c-section he made sure I didn’t end up on one of those “botched medical procedures” shows where they leave a instrument or something inside you by accident lol😂. Once baby was born he was an advocate for him too, since I was too out of it and shaky to voice anything. Dads, it might feel that you’re useless when we are in pain and you can’t help, but just know that you are TOTALLY useful,. Just having someone we trust to advocate for us in those moments creates a crazy strong bond forever between you and your wife!

[@katrinagross1637]

My husband was pretty useless during my labour. He had no idea how to help and so he freaked out and did hardly anything. I was happy that he was there but he couldn’t talk for me even though he knew what I wanted because we hardly understood what was going on. I felt so alone and ended up with ptsd from birth trauma. You are lucky to have had a supportive husband. I have been wondering what to do for the next labour, perhaps I should find a birth doula.

[@jamie7002]

@@katrinagross1637 I haven’t experienced a doula but I’ve heard really good things if you find the right one for you!

[@SimplyLivingInFaith]

I agree!! A husband that's praying over you and Rubbing your leg or thigh. Giving you encouragement is their role. Not just standing there lol.

[@kimberlyharness8074]

Their presence alone is completely invaluable 💛 I can’t even go to sleep without him beside me much less give birth to our baby!!

[@ariannatomak]

@@katrinagross1637 yes, you should definitely invest into a doula! DONA is a great website to find one. We had a baby shower where we asked for money instead of gifts and used a chunk of the money to hire a doula. Doulas not only advocate for you and help you, but they will also guide your husband to support you in how you want to be supported!☺️

[@NaMiYummy]

My husband would make up songs he would sing to my our baby and talk to her about everything, he would tell her things about taking her places, teaching how to hunt for dinosaurs and so on when she was still in the womb. The bond was so strong to the point where the baby would do turns, flips and kicks when she knew her dad was home. I didn't even know he was home until he walks through the front door runs towards me and holds my belly. And I would be like huh that explains everything. RIght on the dot as soon as he is either parked in the drive way or walks into the front door and he hasn't even said a word she would already be kicking like crazy. There would be days where he came home later and no flips or kicks and its like the baby knew her dad wasn't home yet, my little alarm letting me know when my husband would be home. He would give my stomach small raspberry kisses just for her, when she was born and a few months old she loved giving her dad raspberry kisses on his cheeks.

[@LoeppkysLife]

Oh gosh that’s so beautiful 🥲

[@NaMiYummy]

I would like to share my husbands and I's testimony with you about when my water broke at 19 weeks of pregnancy. My husband and I were both 21 at the time and was in college we had to drop out during spring finals. Its a Story about Faith and trusting in God's timing. If that is ok with you.

[@anyasfrancis]

Amazing ❤️

[@SarahdayZ]

That’s so sweet. My husband sang and told our daughter stories too I would usually just laugh but it was so cute

[@kellyhorvatin]

On the bonding question: all throughout pregnancy I was so worried that my husband wasn't connecting to our baby and that he was more nervous than excited. But to see him hold our baby girl after she was born was the most beautiful thing, he just had silent tears streaming down his face 🥺🥰

[@Alicias]

"The lack of adult time" HAHAHA ZACH

[@HT-dy5co]

at least he was honest 😂

[@houdahanoun6108]

I feel he was very honest and genuine in his answers, I see videos similar to this one and guys always say a lot of unrealistic things just to make the video interesting. I feel this one is way better because he’s straight forward in his answers and not ashamed to say no or I don’t care. Amazing video, I think you both are a great couple ♥️🌸💜

[@crissy.clemente]

Just my observation, you both have very different perspectives but you come together wonderfully because you appreciate each other's view.

[@tabithaburnette2264]

I love when he said he likes to know how you’re feeling so he knows how he can help.🥺

[@nellherrick4287]

Good job Zach. He deserves a beer.

[@esthersalcove2650]

I loved the fact that Zach "yelled at the nurses before getting to the front desk" it makes me smile, its such a sweet reaction to the situation ☺

[@mirnie555]

I'll have to disagree with Zach there on the labor support - dads have lots of opportunity to help. My hubby was HUGE in both of our birth experiences, we had home births both times and he helped me relax a lot in early labor (he played worship music for us to sing to while I labored in the shower), brought me drinks, cold cloths for my forehead, he did a ton of counter pressure on my lower back when later on, and he was a solid presence when I was in transition, in the thick of labor land, he was amazing in reminding me to relax my body through the contractions and not to fight them. He repeated my affirmations to me, held my hand, physically held me up when I was too weak to hold myself. Then when I was pushing he was in the birth pool behind me doing perineal support, and caught our baby (both times). I LOVED how big of a role he played in our births, and it was definitely an experience we both were so involved in. It was truly amazing and a huge bonding experience for both of us! So to other future parents/dads.. don't resign yourself to being a passive observer of the situation, you can be extremely involved if you want to and advocate for it!

[@alexag5093]

He looks kind of tired 😂 i can’t imagine with 2 little ones let alone 3 I’d go crazy haha props to you and your hubby!!!

[@annathiessen239]

I had an unplanned homebirth and my husband delivered our baby. It was honestly the most amazing experience ever, my midwife was on speakerphone the whole time guiding my husband and she arrived 5 minutes after our daughter was born💕 luckily all went well and there were no complications. But I hear you, the thought of everything that could go wrong is terrifying, Good thing we have an almighty God to lean on 💕

[@britneyharper3572]

The playfulness and love between you two (even when you disagree) just makes my heart so happy ♥️

[@ashleyschultz6217]

I just found out I was pregnant and asking if my husband could come to all the appointments was the first thing I asked.. he can luckily! This will be our first so I'm soooo thankful we can do it together. I couldn't imagine otherwise.

[@tessmoffett5512]

Same! I was terrified that he wouldn’t be allowed into the delivery room with me when it came time and that I’d have to do it alone (also for the first time), but my doctor assured me that delivery partners have never been barred from the birthing experience. Such a relief!!

[@christinavanklink2470]

Where do you live? Where I live I believe your partner still isn't aloud at appointments

[@jamiefore6150]

I had my first in May, so my husband was able to go to my anatomy scan then nothing else. I wish he had been able to come to my last several appointments because we were having mild complications and he had too many questions for me to answer adequately

[@charlisimone4045]

maybe just google the basics of how to deliver the baby yourself and what to do immediately after (like, rubbing the baby or making sure it’s air way is clear etc). not too much research to freak you out but enough to have the education so you feel capable

[@GIsabella1993]

And for the cord usually you can unwrap it over the babys head when the head is out. Just dont pull to hard to leave the placenta in place. You are soo cute together. Awesome Video.

[@Kaykay-pe7tm]

100% this. Be prepared for the worst, hope for the best. I would absolutely talk to a midwife in her area and just chitchat with them, see how she feels and THEN say no to a homeborth after that.

[@amymalo7390]

Fortunately, most babies that come really fast are super healthy! So if you do have a "car-baby" everything should be totally fine. And cords wrapped around the neck occurs in 30% of births! Its actually super common and not a big deal because babies are not getting oxygen through their lungs yet, but the cord blood. I had a super fast delivery with my first and will be calling my midwife the second I get my first contraction with this pregnancy. Best of luck!

Just FYI here in France pushing on the belly during /after labor is forbidden. It is dangerous and can be deadly and does no good for anyone. So don't let any nurse/doctor/obgyn anyone do that to you or in zachs case, your wife. 😘😘

[@jordanwatts6237]

It's actually very important if you hemmorage to ensure that your uterus is clear and the blood is not clotting. The last thing you would want would be to get home and THEN have all that blood poor out of you and hemmorage at home. In a controlled environment (in a hospital or home with midwives) it can be monitored and treated if need be. An alternative to abdominal palpations would actually be your provider shoving their arm/hand through your vagina, into your uterus to scoop out any reminisce. It's barbaric and poses all sorts of risks, so fundal massage is the safer, preventative option and is the standard for care in Canada. Personally, I would much rather experience the bulk of my bleeding (ESPECIALLY if I was experiencing a PP hemmorage) in a hospital.

[@orangekabrown]

Great video! I will show this to my husband!

[@lillyhouse10986]

"I feel like you need to see their face in order to decide a name" THIS! My family didn't understand this when I tried explaining to them why it was so hard to settle on a name while still pregnant.

[@michaelajones2307]

I find it funny when he talks about how the husband is only there for mental support. I had homebirths with all three of my babies, and my first two my husband was the one who “delivered” the baby, as my midwife didn’t make it til after baby was born. The third time, we called the midwife right away. Everything went perfectly though, there’s nothing like meeting your baby for the first time in the privacy of our own home, just the two of us.

[@lROct]

Same! My husband took a 3 month class and became a certified birth coach and assisted with all 3 and delivered my third at home with the midwife. I couldn’t do it without him.

[@michaelajones2307]

Going from two to three children is a much bigger shock and increase in workload than you would expect. You think you're prepared since you already have two, but you're not. I don't say this to be negative, but so that you prepare yourself.

[@leahc7846]

I’m 36 weeks with our first and my husband hasn’t been allowed to any of my appointments or ultrasounds because of COVID. My husband actually thought of going to a 3rd party ultrasound clinic so we could find out baby’s gender together and it was so much less expensive than I thought it would be. It was wonderful because he got to see baby and hear her heartbeat and we got about 30-45 minutes of just watching baby and enjoying the experience. I would highly suggest it to anyone whose husband or partner is not allowed in the doctor’s office.
