<v Speaker 1>Jerry, Katy and Josh six one hundred.

<v Speaker 2>This is where we read a listener message that has

<v Speaker 2>come in on our socials. We present it to you

<v Speaker 2>guys their little dilemma, and then we open up the

<v Speaker 2>phone lines and you can sound off and help him out.

<v Speaker 3>Who's this one from today?

<v Speaker 4>Kay?

<v Speaker 1>And we got this one from Lauren up in Foco.

<v Speaker 1>She sent us a message on Instagram at Jeremy Katy Josh.

<v Speaker 1>But she opens it up. She's currently eight months pregnant

<v Speaker 1>with her first child. Oh yeah, so she's got a situation.

<v Speaker 1>She needs our advice, she says, instead of just focusing

<v Speaker 1>on getting through labor. I'm stuck in this ongoing argument

<v Speaker 1>with my boyfriend about whether he's even gonna be in

<v Speaker 1>the delivery room.

<v Speaker 2>Oh, Mama doesn't need this stress.

<v Speaker 1>No she does not.

<v Speaker 3>I get it. It's kind of still it's do we

<v Speaker 3>go it for you? Please continue?

<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

<v Speaker 6>Okay.

<v Speaker 1>He says he doesn't want to be in there, not

<v Speaker 1>because he doesn't care, but because he doesn't do well

<v Speaker 1>with medical situations. He gets lighthearted, lightheaded, rather hyperventilates, has

<v Speaker 1>fainted during something as simple as getting blood drawn, so

<v Speaker 1>he's convinced he's going to pass out, cause a scene

<v Speaker 1>and somehow make the whole experience about him instead of me. Honestly,

<v Speaker 1>she gets that to a point, But this is the

<v Speaker 1>birth of their child. She says, I feel like this

<v Speaker 1>is just one of those moments you show up for

<v Speaker 1>no matter what.

<v Speaker 3>But it's so Jeremy.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be the one in pain, vulnerable and going

<v Speaker 1>through something huge. The idea that he won't even try

<v Speaker 1>to be there with me makes me feel a little abandoned.

<v Speaker 3>Tho's other people in the room, please continue.

<v Speaker 1>Right now, She's get there herself. So he keeps saying

<v Speaker 1>he'll be right outside the room, ready to come in

<v Speaker 1>right after. And he's trying to avoid making things harder

<v Speaker 1>for me. He's fine with having my mom or sister

<v Speaker 1>or bestie in the room, but to me, it feels

<v Speaker 1>like he's choosing his comfort over supporting me in one

<v Speaker 1>of the biggest moments.

<v Speaker 6>Of our lives.

<v Speaker 1>She gets She says, I don't know if I'm being

<v Speaker 1>unreasonable for expecting him to push through his fear.

<v Speaker 3>She's gonna be pushing to push.

<v Speaker 1>Or if he's been selfish for not even attempting it. So, jkj,

<v Speaker 1>what do you think is this something I should stand

<v Speaker 1>firm on or do I need to be meet more

<v Speaker 1>understanding of his limits? I hate that last line. No

<v Speaker 1>you don't, girl, No, I'm sorry.

<v Speaker 2>You don't want a husband laying on the floor. I'm

<v Speaker 2>trying to give birth because he passed out.

<v Speaker 3>You know what, we'll let the listeners talk about it.

<v Speaker 3>We're gonna like I'm a little heated.

<v Speaker 6>I can already tell kay, he's gonna be coming at.

<v Speaker 2>Me like a spider monkey. She's all jacked up on

<v Speaker 2>Mountain dew. If you want to sound off about what

<v Speaker 2>was her name.

<v Speaker 3>Her name's Laurence Lauren.

<v Speaker 2>In her situations, she's gonna be having that baby. She'd

<v Speaker 2>like the husband in the delivery room. He gets a

<v Speaker 2>little squeamish in these situations. He's worried that he might

<v Speaker 2>not feel good, he might pass out, he might puke. Yeah,

<v Speaker 2>she's pierced about it.

<v Speaker 3>What advice would you give her?

<v Speaker 6>Hi, Megan Mourning, Well, good morning to you.

<v Speaker 3>So what do you think about this delivery room situation?

<v Speaker 5>I think it's okay for him to be squeamish, but

<v Speaker 5>he needs to be there. It's a huge moment.

<v Speaker 2>It is is, But what if you're in the middle

<v Speaker 2>of that moment and Homeboys starts puking everywhere, getting dizzy

<v Speaker 2>and falls on the floor like a wet fish.

<v Speaker 5>And thank god that there's nurses all over, right, kids, Yeah, that's.

<v Speaker 1>The place you want to faint, right, Megan, Exactly.

<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

<v Speaker 5>And I've I've had four and the nurse has always said,

<v Speaker 5>the chair next to the bed isn't for mom.

<v Speaker 4>It's for the dad because they see them pass out

<v Speaker 4>all the time.

<v Speaker 3>They do.

<v Speaker 5>Always firefighters.

<v Speaker 2>Uh huh, it's always the firefighters. It's always like the

<v Speaker 2>big burly man.

<v Speaker 5>Exactly.

<v Speaker 4>That's what I was told.

<v Speaker 3>That is really funny.

<v Speaker 1>So in your four kids experience, as your husband never

<v Speaker 1>said he doesn't want to be in there, try pulling

<v Speaker 1>this with you.

<v Speaker 7>Uh.

<v Speaker 5>The first one did, and my mom and sister dragged

<v Speaker 5>him in and he was completely fine.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

<v Speaker 6>So my vote is suck it up, buttercup.

<v Speaker 5>Yes, all right, chuck it up.

<v Speaker 6>I'm putting you down for suck it up, buttercup.

<v Speaker 3>Megan. Very nice of you to listen and call in.

<v Speaker 6>Have a great day you two.

<v Speaker 3>Thank you all right, but let's on over to Christina. Hi, Christina, Hello.

<v Speaker 2>Hello, Okay, so what do you think about Mama bear here,

<v Speaker 2>want dad in the delivery room.

<v Speaker 8>You know, honestly, I think I'm in terms of like voting,

<v Speaker 8>I think I actually am going to just say, uh, well,

<v Speaker 8>my my initial thought was, well, when she looks back

<v Speaker 8>on you know, her delivery and labor and you know,

<v Speaker 8>if he does have you know this medical you know

<v Speaker 8>where he like pukes so he does pass out and

<v Speaker 8>stuff like, is she really going to want you know

<v Speaker 8>that kind of like, I mean, things happen so quickly

<v Speaker 8>and he would be there within you know, seconds of

<v Speaker 8>the baby being born and stuff like that. But I

<v Speaker 8>have to say, listening to Megan, it's you know, he

<v Speaker 8>doesn't have to be down there, you know, in the

<v Speaker 8>area and stuff. He can be of my mom her face,

<v Speaker 8>hold her hands, you know, maybe take some atavan or

<v Speaker 8>something beforehand. So I'm going to kind of switch my

<v Speaker 8>vote before and he should.

<v Speaker 4>Suck it up, all right.

<v Speaker 2>So I'm putting you down for sucking up, Buttercup, but

<v Speaker 2>be heavily Medican took one.

<v Speaker 8>My husband took one when I was you know, having everything,

<v Speaker 8>so you know, and yeah, I mean he she still

<v Speaker 8>was very you know, unsettled, but he was like, you

<v Speaker 8>know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take whatever meds

<v Speaker 8>I need to give him some off friend if he

<v Speaker 8>thinks he's gonna puke me.

<v Speaker 3>You know, how do you know so much about medications

<v Speaker 3>that do you sell this style? Okay? I thought maybe

<v Speaker 3>you sold it?

<v Speaker 8>Oh yeah, no no, yeah, but no, I I yeah,

<v Speaker 8>he my husband came to pay her. He's like, Okay,

<v Speaker 8>if I really get anxious, I'm going to take this

<v Speaker 8>and if I'm going to puke, here's some his off friend,

<v Speaker 8>you know. So just you know, there's meds for everything,

<v Speaker 8>and he should just met happ and just sit up

<v Speaker 8>there by her face.

<v Speaker 2>So this guy should take a handful of Vitaican Vitican, right,

<v Speaker 2>a handful of ny I.

<v Speaker 8>Think that chills you out, maybe so many but.

<v Speaker 6>You know pass out during this.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, but you guys have clearly had this conversation then,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, going into it, you had a

<v Speaker 1>situation but also problems to solve it. Yeah.

<v Speaker 8>Yeah, So I mean I think and yeah, it kind

<v Speaker 8>of resonated with you know, mom to be saying, well,

<v Speaker 8>he should at least try. Yeah, and if things really

<v Speaker 8>you know, he can just sit down and if it

<v Speaker 8>really is but yeah. Yeah. Initially I was like, well,

<v Speaker 8>if she looks back and he actually does, like pass

<v Speaker 8>out and stuff, then she's going to feel a certain way.

<v Speaker 3>But you know what, it's going to be a funny

<v Speaker 3>story too.

<v Speaker 2>If dad's in there and he passes out, What a

<v Speaker 2>funny story that guy will have for the roost. Yeah, so, Christina,

<v Speaker 2>I have your vote for sucking up Buttercup. We appreciate

<v Speaker 2>you so much for calling in Here is Mercedes him Mercedes, Hi,

<v Speaker 2>Hey girl, what are your thoughts.

<v Speaker 7>I'm kind of on your side because I was a

<v Speaker 7>surrogate and my nurses told my boyfriend at the time

<v Speaker 7>that if he was going to feel sick or pass out,

<v Speaker 7>that he needed to leave because they need to focus

<v Speaker 7>on the mom. And I feel like that more commotion

<v Speaker 7>in the room while the mom's trying to have a

<v Speaker 7>baby might pause labor.

<v Speaker 2>Sometimes that's a good point too, because she's not in

<v Speaker 2>the thick of it right now, so if he were

<v Speaker 2>to get sick, it really does take the focus off

<v Speaker 2>of what is happening, you know.

<v Speaker 7>And I mean I agree like maybe having him in

<v Speaker 7>there until if he does start feeling loozy, have him

<v Speaker 7>leave and like he said, wait outside the room. But

<v Speaker 7>me personally, I would rather not have a passed out

<v Speaker 7>husband on the ground on having a baby. I have,

<v Speaker 7>you know, like a caring heart, so I'm going to

<v Speaker 7>try to worry about him and make sure he's okay.

<v Speaker 2>So any my giggle a little too much, although the

<v Speaker 2>giggling might help push that baby out.

<v Speaker 7>Help push that baby out?

<v Speaker 6>Am I putting you with sucking up buttercup?

<v Speaker 3>Or stay out of the room.

<v Speaker 7>I'd probably say stay out.

<v Speaker 3>Of the room.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, out of the room. All right, we got you down,

<v Speaker 2>appreciate you.

<v Speaker 3>All right, Still some more calls coming in.

<v Speaker 2>We'll take a quick break as Josh gets these, and

<v Speaker 2>we'll have a final word on this show. Wants to

<v Speaker 2>know now, I do have Sarah on the line, and Sarah,

<v Speaker 2>from what I understand.

<v Speaker 3>You are a nurse.

<v Speaker 4>That's correct, I am?

<v Speaker 6>I think I mean you.

<v Speaker 3>Get final say are you in delivery rooms.

<v Speaker 4>Absolutely all day long?

<v Speaker 3>You tell us what should go on here?

<v Speaker 4>So I agree with with the other callers about the medication.

<v Speaker 4>You can take that ahead of time. But I honestly

<v Speaker 4>believe you know there are nurses the doctor always ask

<v Speaker 4>Dad you okay, you know, just making sure. But in

<v Speaker 4>that moment when you're about to have a kid. You're

<v Speaker 4>not thinking about all of that. You're really truly just

<v Speaker 4>anticipating the child. You're not noticing all of the other

<v Speaker 4>ooey gooey stuff. He's gonna be just fine and he

<v Speaker 4>passes out. You're right, it's a great story.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're gonna.

<v Speaker 4>He's gonna be fine. He's going to be fine. And

<v Speaker 4>I think that she should stand firm. She should, you know, Okay,

<v Speaker 4>at least lay firm. I would say, way, way firm.

<v Speaker 6>Wait on that.

<v Speaker 3>One, Sarah, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

<v Speaker 2>I was a little hesitant with our firstborn to be

<v Speaker 2>in there because I didn't know what to expect. And

<v Speaker 2>you hear what goes on, and you've seen videos, you know, but.

<v Speaker 4>That anticipation factor, I think that is him.

<v Speaker 2>Your buddies are freaking you out and all that. But

<v Speaker 2>it was truly one of the most special, amazing moments

<v Speaker 2>I've ever been a part of. And I was down there,

<v Speaker 2>you were down I was watching the whole thing. I

<v Speaker 2>had a camcorder in one hand and I was holding.

<v Speaker 3>The leg with the other and it was the neatest

<v Speaker 3>thing ever. You're a good dad.

<v Speaker 4>It really truly is. I think he'll be all right.

<v Speaker 4>I think that he just needs to, you know, take

<v Speaker 4>a breath. It's gonna be okay.

<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of guys to just underestimate, like

<v Speaker 1>they think their role is going to.

<v Speaker 6>Be a lot bigger than actually just stand there.

<v Speaker 3>I delivered the baby.

<v Speaker 4>He's not delivering the baby. There, nurses there, there's doctor's there.

<v Speaker 4>It's gonna be okay. He's just there mainly for support

<v Speaker 4>for her.

<v Speaker 3>Yea.

<v Speaker 2>And to see your kiddo for the first time is

<v Speaker 2>pretty damn pretty damn cool too.

<v Speaker 3>To see that little baby flop.

<v Speaker 4>Out, it is, oh absolutely, But I think if he

<v Speaker 4>didn't do it, he would actually be kicking himself later.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I completely agree with you.

<v Speaker 6>That is the best point.

<v Speaker 3>That is the best point, Sarah. You win. I wish

<v Speaker 3>we had a price to give you you baby. Thank

<v Speaker 3>you for doing what you do. Here's a baby.

<v Speaker 2>Thank you for doing what you do and helping all

<v Speaker 2>those moms out.

<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

<v Speaker 2>All right, that sums it up. Don't be a batch, no,

<v Speaker 2>exactly like a get in there.

<v Speaker 1>Your role is to be there to support the mom

<v Speaker 1>so real quickly.

<v Speaker 6>The man you were sleeping with, it was he in

<v Speaker 6>the room with you and the baby.

<v Speaker 1>Yes, and he made the worst face one could possibly

<v Speaker 1>make while we were in there. But still I have

<v Speaker 1>to give him props for showing up, holding my hand

<v Speaker 1>and a really in there, for it's at.

<v Speaker 3>Least he could do since you weren't married, Jeremy, I can't.

<v Speaker 3>I don't know why that's important. I mean, really, you

<v Speaker 3>guys are living in sin here. It's at least you

<v Speaker 3>could

<v Speaker 1>Common law is still marriage, okay,
