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 ?

I don't know about that. I just know that I will faint at the sight of blood!

An American and an Internationalist!

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.

 

[Duchess Sophie]

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

 

[Dennism]

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.

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".

 

[Duchess Sophie]

Hold on Maxi. Come on.

I thought is has something to do with more respect for their wife??

 

[Dennism]

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

I don't think so. Stay positive :flower:

 

[Dennism]

It's a word for German. Goes back to the Latin "Teutoni" which referred to the Celtic tribes of modern day Germany.

Yep

 

[Alexandra]

Very good, Sophie! And put them on this site, please!

 

[Dennism]

Thanks, Sophie. I'm just saying I'm a wimp and my wife will understand. Yes, Yirina, the same time. CET.

As for why I won't read the German papers, I hope that I do not have to explain.

 

[Duchess Sophie]

7 hours in the hospital, our Maxima....

 

[Dennism]

Too many people answering the questions at the same time. If someone has a question, ask it of a particular person. A little test while we wait!

Was in Germany this summer, and although I don't read German (my sister read it to me) and was only away from Norway for 10 days, things couldn't have changed *that* much...

Some of them seems to have a very vivid imagination.
