      You said the truth about C-sections in many countries in Asia. It's all about money. I've said this before and I'll say it again: Wat is a rare man in Thailand. The fact that he was even with you in the same hospital room while you were having painful contractions is unusual. This is a macho culture where men don't want to be anywhere near their wives while they give birth. It wasn't that long ago that most Western nations were the same. To change that, Thai boys must be socialized differently. That takes courage from both men and women, and a willingness that I am not sure most people are ready for.

    My Thai fiancee is the most supportive man I've ever met. He does everything he can when I have any kind of pain. He's the only reason I've ever considered having a baby (haven't yet). I would say my Thai guy goes above and beyond any American guy I've been with! There are perfect gems out there. Not all Thai guys are the same.

    I can totally relate to your experience. I have been married to a Thai for over 20 years. Asian men have been brought up to be responsible and protective over their family. Nurturing, nursing, changing diapers, feeding just do not fall under that umbrella. Not because they don’t want to but they feel we do a better job at it. So I try to encourage him rather than making him inept. When I was giving birth, his words of encouragement was “ you can do it. Julie gave birth to a 10 pound baby, so I know you can too. “ omg ..The cuss words that were flying around in my brain

    I’m Thai and I really related with that. My dad is in his 90’s and has been just like that too, like when I was a kid, sometimes I got headace and cried he didn’t come to hug me but telling me not to cry because it never help and told me to take medicine. I know he loves us so much from hard working and always the kids first before themselves. It’s just about his personally is kind of tough sometimes. So I can tell from watching many of your video that Wat is genuine and has a nice heart and love you and the kids so much. And it’s hard to find Thai guys like this in Thailand because many of them nowadays might be so sweet at first and then change when being together longer.

    Thank you for sharing. It is not just Thai men I believe most (not all) asian men are not good with relating or having empathy not only to pain but emotions in general. Its part of the asian culture to not tap into emotions much less acknowledge and express them outwardly. Also it depends how they were raised but generally that is like that. Thats why the mental health and trauma in the asian culture effecting relationships/marriages/friendships and upbringing of children has past down generational curses and bondages. I appreciate you being open about it especially for someone who is not asian because it confirms a lot of what I have learned and seen growing up. It's sad but it's only Jesus who can heal those closed or broken areas of people in general. I am encouraged to see that you bring your faith and prayer into your family.

    My Thai husband slept through the night on the little hospital couch while I laid awake having contractions. He probably would have stayed up with me if I had woken him up and asked, but I guess I figured better for one of us to get some rest instead of us both being sleep deprived! Part of me wanted him to offer to stay up with me though. He's been on nighttime duty for four years now to make up for it 😉 In my experience, you have to tell them (all men, but def Thai men) exactly what you want them do because they don't pick up on subtleties.

He doesn't understand the complexity of our emotions. He thinks crying is a weakness. But, he supports us financially very well and does tough things around the house. Oh, and he's also a good cook.

    Such a beautiful family and little Lila is gorgeous, she seems like such a good natured baby. It warms my heart to see how protective Wat is of the children. I probably would of walked out of that preschool as well. I think that the birthing process especially hard long labors can be difficult for some men regardless of their ethnicity. I want to say that it is so lovely to see how Nam has become an extention of your family. Too many times especially in America families they tend to hide the fact that they have nannies. When I watch your videos I get the feeling that you are all great friends and you are like a big sister to Nam. So lovely to see. Enjoyed your day at the fair with all the delicious food. Thank you for boldly sharing bits of your life with us. Sending you all beautiful blessings and wishes of much happiness to surround you all 💜🦋⚘

    Your story sounds like mine when I had my first born son. They gave me pitocin also to induce my labor. Then they purposely broke my water and I had contractions and never dilated past 5 centimeters after 24 hours in labor. His father slept through it and I was furious at him also. Thank God my mom was there to help me through it. Needless to say, I ended up having a C section after 24 hours of labor and no dilation.

    • @commonsense6967
      @commonsense6967 Před 2 lety

      The same thing happened to me when I had my first son many years ago in the US, and because I only dilated to 2 cm on Pitocin, and 24 hours had elapsed since my water leaked, the doctor recommended I have a c-section to prevent possible infection. IMO, it was really because it was Superbowl weekend 1980 and he wanted to get home to watch it (and besides, surgical birth is much more lucrative!)

    Oh, Lilly! My partner was Czech, a European man, and did the exact same thing, went to sleep in a chair while I was giving birth to our son. Totally understand your frustration. You are in pain, delivering your baby and he cannot be bothered, right? And the worst is when you hear those beautiful stories where the husband was supportive, just like your nail lady told you ... it kind of increases the frustration from the past. But, as you said, let´s forget it and leave it in the past. I like that. However, I absolutely understand why it is still on your mind. This is a very vunerable situation for the woman, she needs her man because she cannot stand up for herself at this difficult time, when she needs something she should be able to rely on her man and when he is asleep it is frustrating, sad, lonely and scary. On top of that, I was thinking to myself when he was falling asleep: "Is he not excited? His child is being born! I can´t wait! And he is just like "yeah, whatever, man, I´m tired". What is wrong with him?" Anyway, let us leave it in the past, girl, as we are getting more and more hurt by talking about it and thinking about it, noone else is getting hurt but us - over and over again. So, taking your advice and letting it go. Tons of love xxx

My husband pushed on my back until he was sore and he was a U.S. Marine Corp soldier at the time.(OOh-Rah) I'd just given birth a few minutes before and while he crashed out on the bed beside me, I was awake and excited. I called everyone I could and announced that baby had arrived. My husband was snoring.. I laughed at him, here I've had the baby and he's the one that passed out with fatique!

    So sorry for the rough experience. It resonates with many women. I had two csections for both sons. I tried for a VBAC 2nd time and endured Pitocin trying to labor naturally. I totally get how it completely removes the natural sequence of a normal contraction where you have an identifiable start, a crest then it subsides and gives you a slight pause before the next begins to relax and prepare for the next. Pitocin disrupts that natural ebb and flow so that you’re stuck at the never ending crest of surge upon surge. It’s an exhausting and disheartening onslaught that undermines women’s ability to let go and patiently work thru the process and do what your body knows to do. But of course God forbid a hospital staff be patient and think about something other than their timetables and bottom lines, right?!Pitocin is the devil. Well done, despite these challenges in birthing your beautiful children into the world. Whatever process it was. You endured on their behalf, well done to you and all strong women everywhere who do so for their families 💜

    My husband also is like that. If there are emergency situations from the time he'll knew he gets to be floating in the air for like few minutes before acting upon it. Unlike me for example my brain automatically switches to like what can we do, like what's the next steps things like that. So i guess it's really true that the way our brain cells & wirings are programmed is definitely way different from them.

    In truth, the majority of men would rather NOT be in the labour room. My husband looked really scared but stayed with me; however he said that if I had told him to wait next door, he would have gladly done so.

    Baby Laila is a cutie pie! 💜💛 Luke and Leon are cool kids!! I don't think it's a "Thai thing" but most men are insensitive to their woman giving birth. Overall, I believe he meant no harm. Anyways, all of You continue to Stay Blessed!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

    I was waiting for something really bad ?
    My sisters husband didn't even go in with her in her first labour, he opted to not be with her because he didn't want to see anything!
    My husband was being fussed over by the nurses when I was in heavy labour and eating spahetti bolognaise while I was in agony ...
    I think there is way worse that Wat could have done ...

    My Filipino husband was outside the delivery room while I was in pain due to contractions. I can literally hear him playing an online game while I was inside the delivery room trying to deliver our son.
    I will never forget that moment. I was so bitter that he gets to play while I was in so much pain. That was four years ago and I am still cringing whenever I remember that moment. 😅

    My first child was a spontaneous labor and I was perfectly fine until my Dad made me mad. I then elected to get an epidural which stopped my labor and only took on one side. UGH...then the pitocin came. That stuff was the devil. Finally at 2:59 am my son was born. Between getting the epidural and giving birth I went to sleep. My husband at the time stayed up with my sister in the room with me. They both were very supportive during labor and delivery. My 2nd child I was suppose to have a scheduled C-Section. I tried telling my dr. that I was not going to make it to the date they had it planned. They didn't listen to me. Needless to say I went into natural labor with a breech baby. Then the hospital tried to send me home because I wasn't dilating. Before the nurse could bring me my discharge papers my water brook. So they were running around prepping me for an emergency c-section only to be told they could not find the dr. So I was taken to the OR and had to wait on the table in full on labor. On top of it they wouldn't let my husband in the OR until the Dr. was ready. Thank God for a nurse, she was an angel, she helped me through it all. Then the Dr. finally came in and was trying to start and I started yelling, Oh He** NO! I want my husband. We had been married since I was 19, together since 17. Finally they got him in the OR and my baby girl was out in a matter of 5 minutes or less. Then my 3rd child was an all natural labor and delivery with a different man than before. Needless to say he was scared to death because he had NEVER seen me act like that in pain. I have a very high pain tolerance. So he stayed against the wall and wouldn't come near me. I was so angry I could have strangled him. I went in labor around 5 am with my third child and she was born before 8:30am. I labored so fast my sister couldn't get to the hospital to get my other two children so the nurse tried entertaining them and blocking the view when their little sister was born. My first daughter can tell you the exact story to this day and she was only 4 at the time.
