When I had my daughter my husband went
pyshco he drove like a maniac to the
hospital and trying to help but made
things worse lol, my husband is an
rn(nurse) buts its like when im in labor
he looses his cool calm collective
attitude and forget stuff. Anyways I
have 17 days till im due with #2 and im
afraid he going to freak out again he
already harrasing me lol with stuff like
is he here yet, whens he coming, I know
hes excited but im going bananas. So how
can I get him to chill out abit this time
cause I dont want to have him making me
more anxious than I already.. Or if he
sees something on the moniters hell know
and freak out.... Any advice

Get an appointment to be induced. That is
the only way I was able to calm down. I
would basically stand guard all night
getting water and cleaning and painting
and shopping and making sure she was ok
almost to a fault.
I am nervous by nature and so not knowing
what to expect as far as going into labor
was probably the most nerve wracking thing
in the world for me.
As soon as we had a delivery date, I was
able to make a schedule and get all my
ducks in a row and then it was wednesday
oct 26, 2005 and baby brian benjamin was
here.
The bast thing that you can do is share
your feelings and if the doc will
cooperate, have him give you an induction
date so that dad can cool out and get
things ready.
Everyone said I was nesting, I don't
really get it but if he is nesting I don't
think it is bad. Although I dont ave a
clue what it is either.

I actually did not like ice cream before
my wife got preggers and then as she went
along, I began to crave ice cream and she
actually thought it was hilarious. I
gained weight and then as my nerves got me
I lost weight and I havent gained it back
yet. Since birth I have lost about 25
pounds.
As far as being grumpy goes, I wasn't
grumpy. I was excited and ready for my
little one. You are right however, they
did not cooperate with the induction date
until I bugged the ob and one of our docs
partners was who we saw and she said
something like, we can take this baby a
little early, I tricked the ladies at the
front desk and they scheduled us for the
following wednesday. Our favorite docs
duty day.
I know it may not have been the best thing
to do but I think I would have been in the
hospital from a breakdown otherwise.

Men generlly have an adrenalin rush when
their wife or g/f are about to deliver,
even though he is a rn, you are his #1,
sometimes you think it is them having the
baby, it is kind of funny to watch them in
labor and delivery as we know and
understand what the mom is going thru but
watching the husbands is funny, if they do
not pass out, I worked in labor and
delivery, it is only because he cares
sooooooo much!

Its just weird though cause ive seen my
husband at work and hes really good at
what he does its just funny/annoying cause
youd think he be helping me out like he
does with his patients then driving me
crazy....
It makes me laugh cause he had to read on
obstetrics and its like he doesnt know
anything when I talk to him it like hes a
whole different person at home and at
work.
Men are just weird (im referring to mine
in particular) I just wish I could
understand whats going through their
minds, I remeber him driving me to the
hospital I was just reading a book and he
was screaming at ppl in the cars ahead it
was hilarious....

hey! Fourunalty I do not have the same
problem as you do with my hubby! So, I
can't give you much advice on it! I
wanted to reply to your post because I
read that your hubby is an rn. My husband
is in nursing school to become an rn. He
is in his third year. One more to go! If
you don't mind my asking, does your
husband make good money? What does he do?
My husband hasn't decided which
department he wants to work in yet. I
think there should be more male nurses.
There will only be two in my hubby's
graduating class! Well, I hope to hear
from you soon! Sorry if I was a bother to
you. I wish you the best of luck with
baby number two!
God bless and good luck,
teresa

Its good money teresa I dont know about in
the states buts its a good income, a nurse
in canada is paid anywhere from 40k to 65k
(with annual raises/medical benefits)
depending on their credentials. My
husband works between two different
outpatient clinic right now so he working
in pyhsio and treatment room(spec clinic)
for skin problems/vasectomys etc his
prefernce is working in a smaller place
and not a large hospital...
I dont know what else to say
wish your hubby luck!!
Jess

Brian was more scared for me than anything
else..... But he hid it well. I found
out later he cried a bunch of times when
he was out for a smoke. He stayed so
amazingly strong for me. Remember girls,
he was only 17!!!

Brian caught me writing this and he told
me to change it! I was like nah, they
won't say anything bad......... He's like
they will think i'm a wuss lol.
The only time he has cried is when it has
to do with me or our babies :d . I love
him for that :wink:

ur right, men are just weird. I've seen
jay take are of his friends when they do
stupid things and hurt themselves, but as
soon as i'm in pain or something he's
psycho... Good luck with abel! Hopefully
he calms down this time.
