Is something wrong with not wanting husband in delivery room?

My first child my husband was very supportive during delivery even though there's not much he can do but squeeze my hand and rub back or w/e or act as distraction.. After delivery he was negative energy. He does not do well if he doesn't get 8hrs sleep. He wanted to take nap when I needed him to initially help w/ positions or baby, he complained when I wanted Chinese to go and he wanted Italian and said Chinese restaurant would be a farther drive (10 min maybe) , he brought me to tears when I was having "new mom" / "new parent " moments and having trouble finding best posiIs something wrong with not wanting husband in delivery room?
He's making you feel bad and that's not cool. Tell him that although you appreciate everything he does do you do not appreciate his negative attitude and if he would please just take a nap and come back when he feels better it would be best for both of y'all so you both will be performing the best.
It hasn't been until recently that men have come into the room. Until then it was normally a midwife/doctor, mother, sister, etc.



Personally I'm going to have my mother in the room with me and that's it. I'd rather the baby dad be out waiting. Besides, with my luck I'd be one of the ones that #2s during delivery and I don't even let my bf hear me go pee or poop...I always put the tap on before going. I guess I'm kinda immature (and old fashioned in some respects) but it just doesn't feel right to me....Is something wrong with not wanting husband in delivery room?
That's plain selfish. You are denying him an amazing experience, because he wouldn't go for Chinese. Never mind HE is as stressed and tired, but in a different way. And if he is so 'negative energy' after the birth, LET HIM NAP! He will be 'out of your way;. He is concerned about you and the baby, and rightfully so.
People do the strangest crap in stressfull situations. I am not justifying his behavior, but... U need to work this out by talking with him BEFOREHAND! Having a child is the MOST IMPORTANT event in a fathers life, PERIOD! see a couples counselor beforehand if needed.Is something wrong with not wanting husband in delivery room?
you two need to talk about whats going to happen this time! bcuz its not right, he should see all his children born.. Its selffish to make him miss it.

if he starts acting up then kick him out afterward.
Yes, because its not just your baby, its his, he loves it just as much as you do, and deserves to see it born just as much as you do. Imagine being told you have to wait outside while your child is being born, that a dozen different doctors and nurses get to lay eyes on your child before you do. Its not fair. Maybe he was upset about the chinese food because he wanted to get back as soon as he could so he could have his "new parent" moments and bonding, he just met his child, he might not be in the mood to take another ten minutes to go get dinner. Im not saying it was right for him to be crabby toward you after you just had a baby, but you said yourself he doesnt do well on a lack of sleep, I dont think its enough to deprive him of the birth of his child. Tell him that its hurts your feelings that he wont help you with the baby and would rather sleep after what you just went through, but dont kick him out and cry over chinese food.
