But nowadays fathers-to-be are nearly always with the mother during the delivery. It is something like a "must" that men have to be there. I don't know any couples, where the father-to-be was not there with the mother-to-be. One of my sisters has eight girls and even with the last delivery her husband was there with her. Well, they like children! There is a say, that a man would become a better father when he had seen his child born. But that I really do not believe.

eight girls ?

So WA usually smoke or just smoke because of the nerves??? Is he smoking right outside the ward or the hospital??

I really do hope that he doesn't smoke any other times.

Wonders where the cigarettes were from. Someone with him provided to him just in case he couldn't stand tension?? Wouldn't it be better if he just bite his fingernails?

Well, the birth is going to cost me a lot of money LOL. Special magazines, books, etc. etc.

Oh, Sophie, I'll envy you! In our papers there will be a few lines telling the news and in the magazines perhaps just a picture or two. People are not so interested in royals here. Luckily I get a German paper

and there will be more pictures. I know, I know about the German magazines ... but it is the only one I can get hold of.

Well, according to the activity here, everyone around the world is just as nervous/excited as the father-to-be LOL

Dennism · #**130** 12-07-2003, 10:47 AM

Well, my local bookstore has Hello and some German newspapers. I will not touch the Teutonic tabloids! But I hope there will be something in the Hello.

"There is a say, that a man would become a better father when he had seen his child born. But that I really do not believe"

That's most probably because, if the men has seen how difficult the whole process was and what their wives have went through, they would've been better fathers".

Hold on Maxi. Come on.

Finland. And the time is just 16.50. How late is it in your countries?

Dennism · #**134** 12-07-2003, 10:49 AM

Great. With this conversation going as it is, I'm going to look like a future bad husband by the end of it.
