“My husband was with me during the birth. I regret asking him for it. Our sex appeal is gone.”

Childbirth is a personal and very important experience for every future mother. It concerns physicality, the intimate sphere and strongly touches emotions. Most women expecting a baby are afraid of childbirth. In addition to the pain itself, pregnant women also think about discomfort and the staff who will serve them. Many pregnant women are very ashamed and ask for their husband to accompany them during childbirth. Some pregnant women, only after giving birth, wonder whether their husband’s presence in the delivery room was a good idea.

“I knew that the birth itself was inevitably approaching. And somehow I survived it”

“I was terrified of giving birth. Even though I knew that I wanted to have children very much, the delivery itself made me delay the decision to have children for a long time. Eventually, however, we pulled ourselves together and I got pregnant. The first trimester was hard, but later it was getting easier. Each day brought me closer to meeting my baby. I knew that the delivery itself was inevitably approaching. And somehow I survived it. The pain was indescribable, but I was guided by the thought that it would end soon. I am a task-oriented person and that’s it it helped me a lot.

“I was in labor for almost twenty hours. I was saying things there and acting like I wasn’t myself.”

I didn’t give birth alone. I knew from the very beginning that I needed support in the maternity ward. My husband was with me during labor. Today I regret asking him for it. Our sex appeal is gone. I was in labor for almost twenty hours. I was saying things there and acting like she wasn’t herself. I thought my husband was aware that this is unfortunately what it looks like. It’s too much for him. I wouldn’t have thought about it twice if I’d known it would ruin our relationship. He no longer looks at me as an object of desire, but as a woman who in agony gave birth to his child. Everything has changed, but I can’t influence it anymore.”
