Honestly I think it’s weird that culturally we’ve leaned into making birth a weird medical horror date night. Isn’t it better to just not be in the doctors’ way?

Honestly, you kind of have to be there to make sure your partner is getting the appropriate care, along with providing emotional support for a long, exhausting and painful process.
id like my bf to be there for any major surgeries, im definitely ok with him being on the phone in the moments where im not having a hard time tho. tbh would prefer if he put something on for us to both focus on
Surgery and medical events are difficult and traumatic even when it’s routine and normal. It’s good to be there to wave the flag for your partner. Go visit your friends and family when they’re in the hospital - they will be happy to see you.

Valid point, especially in cases like these where a misogynistic doctor might tune out a woman until her partner also goes squeaky-wheel.
Add in
and it’s even worse. Rough time!
