@@nollypolly1869 So he was harmed twice, first during the making of the video and then after showing it to his wife? I just want to clarify how Many times he was harmed.
@@LindaPerry_337 Don't forget the moment it all happened. The video must have been traumatizing to go through that all over again, but the actual life changing moment, that damage was done, needs to be recognized.
I had a c-section for a grade 4 placenta previa. The hospital used my operation as a teaching exercise. I lost 1.5 litres of blood and the surgeon got applauded at the end. My story pales in comparison to the trauma you suffered 😂
My hubby had it pretty tough with each of our 4 kids.. I hate being touched when in labor so he was there solely to be the ice chip boy. I would just turn my face to him, grunt, and open my mouth. He had pretty good aim but heaven help him if he missed that flick of ice. He's been traumatized ever since. There really needs to be a voice for the birthing partners in the world and I'm thrilled you're bringing awareness to the subject. #PartnersLaborToo God bless you, Sir.
This just came up in my recommended videos so I didn't know he's from New Zealand (I thought he was Australian tbh), that kinda explains why his manner of storytelling reminded me so much of 'What We Do in the Shadows' :)
brought me to tears for like five times during video.. I had to take some breaks because I wasn't emotionally strong enough to watch it in one sitting! you're very very strong.
After 5 hours of pushing my husband (now ex-) muttered, “Boy, do my feet hurt..” A hush fell over the room. I’m sure it was a sympathetic moment of commiseration from new dads everywhere.
You sir....are the bravest man I know! And telling your story, and making it public, will really help others who are too ashamed (very wrongly) about the trauma they went through. I was WEEPING at the end of this. Kudos to you sir, kudos!
This content is golden. My hubs definitely felt this one lmao. I mean it was only 2 dislocated fingers but anyone would of thought he was pushing a human out of his body 😂😂😂 love this.
I remember my mum saying that during her labour with me my dad was turning grey and they had to offer him a glass of water. I feel your pain. We women have had it too easy for too long.
We really need more brave men like you to come forward and talk about their child birth pain more often. It’s all to easy to forget how hard it is for us, while she just lays there on that comfy bed.
Never Ever Ever listen to these Dad's stories as I'm drinking my morning coffee! Let's talk about equal rights for my computer screen, now! You made my day, mate! Thank you ^^ (Hi to all your family from France)
As someone who's epidural wore off while I was pushing and I started screaming "I'M PRETTY SURE I'M DYING!!" my story pales in comparison to your heroic journey. Respect 👊🏼
You have hope! Equality is creeping in! When I was doing my thing and there weren’t any staff in the room I offered my husband some of the gas to share. Helped him a lot. Actually helped him a little too much, he felt all giddy. Weird, because it was barely taking the edge off for me. But it’s a start.
Anna McCaughey - I don't think that would have happened, seeing as that was the precursor of the tragic events that _How to Dad_ recounted in this video.
OMG who started laughing at "I had sore feet sore ankles" LOL well done! Such an appropriate video for 2019. #DadStruggles #NeedyPeopleof2019 #DadDiffies
Wow thank you for sharing this. As a woman who gave birth twice I feel so bad and I am so sorry to my husband for not supporting him twice. He should divorce me
Oh that’s sad you felt ignored. Without the men the woman wouldn’t be in that sort of comfort you described . I really hope they do sort something out. I recall my brother sleeping on the floor when my sister in law had her baby. It’s a distressing time for both parties. Plus no one enjoys seeing their loved ones in pain . It make you suffer too. Great video, God bless you
Thank you for your video . I have due date of our first baby in just one month and I haven’t think so far about how hard It is for dad 😊. I promise I will not push his hand so hard when the D day comes and prepare some snack and panadol in advance for him 😉
At first when I saw the title, I thought that you’d talk about *your* childbirth experience. Like what it was like to be pushed out ^^’ You’ve got my deepest compassion on the actual content. Now I know of the hardships my partner went through.
Wow. Thank you for sharing your touching story with us. :'( Your wife is so lucky, I hope she realises that and treats you well. Poor you, had to struggle through so much ;_;

Oh snap, a serious one! I agree, and you are very brave for doing this - one of the few that could do this, as most would view this as satire, but I hear the truth ringing in it!
A dad was harmed in the making of this video.
He was, however, harmed after showing it to his wife.

@@valek7700 It's like PTSD for males isn't it?! The pain is compounded each time it's thought of 😢
My mom keeps complaining about how she pushed me out of her thing...but my dad never complained..now I understand what a heroic warrior he is
Some heroes don't wear capes. You're so brave for sharing your story.
If she gets a midwife you should be allowed to get a midhusband.
Who will hold another fan for you because there would be no air conditioning.

@@RubyDoobieScoo He didn't bleed after this, so I don't think it was equal.
@@valek7700 RIGHT !! NO blood, no midhusband. GTFOH!!
@@DolceVita r u serious guys? It was a joke smh
'My wife was doing her thing...' LOL
Tune in for the next video: How To Dad sleeps on the couch.
Can you imagine kneeling in an awkward position and having your hand being crushed for hours. Society needs to give dad's a break.
This story brought tears to my eyes. You’re quite the trooper!
I had a c-section for a grade 4 placenta previa. The hospital used my operation as a teaching exercise. I lost 1.5 litres of blood and the surgeon got applauded at the end. My story pales in comparison to the trauma you suffered 😂
Whoa that’s a lot of blood! Hope you are all doing well now!!
Bits aside, that's crazy. I can't believe they did that.
You should sue the hospital! Glad you survived that.

Man how did you ever get through that! You’re so strong.
This video should be part of all birthing classes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like how at the end, the music got louder, like at an awards show telling ppl to wrap it up
LOLOL... yes
My wife gave birth to twins. It was so hard on me. You are so brave for speaking out for all of us oppressed fathers. #metoo
😂😂😂😂😂
But you got gifted twice for your effort. Maybe that makes it equal.
I’m dead lol 😂
Have you been able to return to sense of normalcy after such an experience
Gosh that sounds horrid. This is a true New Zealand hero.

You do know hes being sarcastic??

I can't blame him... My feet would hurt too if a pregnant woman pushed me for five hours.
I’m sure that’s exactly what it was! Lol
I wonder if this is the reason that he's an ex.
Stunning and brave...
Too often the story of man suffering during childbirth is ignored. So refreshing to hear such a personal release...

This so so funny,😂👍
and the sad music!😂
I feel for you man🙏
I kept expecting how to mum to come in and bonk you.

On second thought, no
Anna McCaughey - I don't think that would have happened, seeing as that was the precursor of the tragic events that _How to Dad_ recounted in this video.

Apparently bonking means something different in NZ then what it does elsewhere!! Gotta love British English!!

You are so unbelievably brave, keep going strong ✊

So refreshing to see no dislikes. Yet.
Also, the untold story.

Good job! You sure worked hard.
At least you were there, man. My husband strolled in just after our son was born, the lucky bugger missed all the gory stuff.
Your kids are lucky to have such a father!
I lost mine when I was 14 Y.O. He was a police officer martyred while in duty.
idiot
Oh you poor dear!! You are so hilarious, and so are these comments from other viewers.
That sigh at the end was award worthy
You might want to consider therapy to overcome the trauma you experienced.🙄
