Revealed! 10 Singaporean men spill their thoughts on watching their partners give birth

Can men understand what women go through during the process of giving birth?

Some truly believe that the hardest part is the exhaustion that they feel because they've stayed up with their wives all night long! Nonetheless, most of our hubbies are definitely sweet and encouraging about it - which is why we love them so much!

We spoke to 10 men, and got the brutal truth on them watching their wives give birth. Check out their gory yet adorable stories here!

Afiq, 29

Afiq, 29

"After seeing her go through 9 months of this, I was kind of glad that it was all going to be over soon when I saw her pushing the baby. Boy, was I wrong. I felt so awful because I had to watch her go through it, and that she was the one in pain, not me!"
Nadeem, 36

Nadeem, 36

"I watched my wife tear apart like tissue paper! Skin could do that? Her poor vagina! The nurse moved the mirror real quick, oh, but I caught it all!"
Shawn, 36

Shawn, 36

"I kept praising her in hopes of encouraging her, but all she did was yell at me."
Marcus, 35

Marcus, 35

"I thought I was a pretty manly guy until I saw my wife push a human being out of her vagina. She's definitely stronger than I am!"
Wei Hao, 31

Wei Hao, 31

"My wife had opted to go for a C-section, and I had thought that it wouldn't be as bad as giving birth naturally. After our baby had come out, I walked over to see my little angel get weighed. I also made the mistake of looking at my wife during this time and saw the hole in her tummy. WHY DID I LOOK?"
Qinghui, 29

Qinghui, 29

"I couldn't think! While trying to get her nails that were dug into my arms, and taking a peek to what was coming out, there wasn't much time to digest what was going on. When I saw my baby girl emerged, that's when it hit me - we created this beautiful angel! She's ours and I felt so proud of my wife. And myself. AHEM."
Kabir, 37

Kabir, 37

"Tears. So many tears. I went on like a tap. I had never cried like that, and I don't think I've cried that hard since."
Rehaan, 40

Rehaan, 40

"Considering that this is our second child, I thought that it wouldn't be as bad as the first time since my wife would have been used to it. I saw how they had cut open her vagina to make way for the baby and I freaked out. Why would they do that?! There was so much blood everywhere! They had even stitched it up after. How she tolerated all that? I'll never know."
Rico, 33

Rico, 33

"When it all was over, baby was out getting prepped and cosy warm, the doctor checked my wife’s placenta. I didn't notice, honestly, as I was awed by the little one and my wife doing such a great job — then doctor got me out of my happy stage and said "Rico look", I turned my head and she went "this is your wife's placenta, you want to have a close look?" I cannot forget that image ever again."
Brandon, 31

Brandon, 31

"The birth of our first child smelled... like bak kwa."
