Busy Birth

mother-and-baby-18[Blind Gossip] When this pregnant celebrity was talking to her husband about their birthing plan, she was surprised when he expressed reluctance at being present during the birth.

It seemed like he was trying to get out of being there for the actual birth. He was saying, “Do I really have to be there?” and “I’m so busy with my filming schedule and I really don’t want to miss a full day of work.”

She insisted that he did need to be there and he eventually relented.

We are not sure if this means that there is trouble in the marriage… or if he just is not thrilled about witnessing the medical messiness of birth.

    my uncle couldn’t watch the birth of my cousin. he waited in the waiting room. but he’s a very devoted husband and father. they’ve been together almost 30 happy years.

  5. spunkie brewster says

    Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
    I would have probably wanted him to be there too. They don’t have to stand at your pelvis and watch, they can be by your head and comfort you

  12. carriebradshaw says

    optional: I can fully understand him . I’m a woman and I if I ever get pregnant I want c-sektion &anesthesia, because I don’t want to be there myself.

  15. gc02ef says

    I’m going with Alec Baldwin, since he just had a fourth kid

    It says ‘celebrity’ for the wife. So I’m assuming it’s not an actress or musician.

    I’d be livid!

  16. celebiddy says

    I made my man wait down the hall during the actual birth cause i didn’t want him to see the “messiness” we were both fine with it. He came in the room immediately after

  17. mamacita3 says

    I’d be pi**ed if my husband didn’t want to be with me during the birth of OUR child! With the excuse that he couldn’t miss work???
    Is this Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively?

    Couple: Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds

    idk but if I were a guy I definitely wouldn’t want to be in there doing all the things men are expected to do these days…no way~ not just holding hands, but cutting the cord & watching it crown & slide out & all that stuff. Nope! They already had 1 so Ryan’s probably just now getting over what he say last time.

  22. DivaKarma says

    No Idea, but not being in the room do to queasiness, hospitals, etc I may understand but not being there because you have to work? No way

    [Optional] How would you have reacted if you were the wife? Um, if you helped make it, you’re gonna help deliver it, too!

  24. CoCoJoe says

    I’d tell him that he has to be there, not necessarily in the room the whole time and not necessarily witnessing the birth, but he has to be there for me.

  30. HalfBloodPrincess says

    Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively?

    They just had a baby today, so wondering if it’s them. They are also pretty busy with filming schedules.

  31. angelbratt says

    Jim and Meghan King Edwards.

    He wasn’t there during the insemination or none of the other things. Why would you have a baby with someone who wants no part of it?

  32. OpticalVortex says

    It’s pretty * up— Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. I think he’s over her. All the Taylor Swift, look how perfect I am, Disney Princess shtick his not his thing.

  33. CyndiTx123 says

    Please not let it be Blake lively and her hunky hubby Ryan Reynolds!! Taylor Swift was there though….

    Could it be Hilaria Baldwin and Alec????

  34. redstilettos says

    My hubby was there for my c-section. No, he didn’t need to see the deed, but he needed to be there to hold my hand.

  38. moxiegumption says

    Lively & Reynolds.

    I am no stranger to a selfish thoughtless partner, so i would have been heartbroken but not surprised.

  40. annabelle77 says

    No idea who this is, but he was my husband I would be incredibly hurt and would lose all respect for him. There’s no excuse for this. He thinks giving birth is too messy? Man up, you selfish jerk.

  41. jonty30 says

    Some men are just simply more easily grossed out than other men. With the information as is, it doesn’t really mean anything beyond that.

  45. Parade says

    I told my husband before the birth of our first child that he did not have to be there if he had any issues about it and I also said I wouldn’t hold it against him. I wouldn’t have held it against him if he chose not to be present but he was gung-ho about the whole thing, it was a little weird and cute.

  49. TrendyWendy says

    Blake & Ryan

    It seems odd that a dad wouldn’t want to be there. But Ryan Reynolds seems to have a detached personality & Blake seems like a dimwit. I’m sure he’s always been like this but she married him.

  50. MzDBDB says

    Some men should NOT be present for the birth. There’s nothing wrong with that, they’re just not cut out for it…

  51. ladysussex says

    Don’t know who this is but I don’t know when it became mandatory for men to be there during the birth. For thousands upon thousands of years men waited somewhere else or just went about their business until they got the news that they had a son or a daughter. Then it became optional sometime around the late 1960s, but apparently now it’s mandatory.

  53. Idontknowanything1 says

    Olivia Munn/Jason Sucksdeckis The only couple in the world I can think is relevant at this moment and almost popping a child.
    And the 2are the opposite, she Twitter about being in the metro and not being able to sit down, and he was the one sitting down and not offering her the seat(a lie but a juicier story)..

  55. Californialove says

    Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. It’s been rumored he’s not much help with the kid so I can see him saying that.

  57. bertwheeler says

    No idea, but being at birth of my daughter was the most emotional, astonishing, beautiful event of my life. There’s either trouble in that marriage or the guy’s a weakling.

  58. dynamodavid says

    I was there for both of our children’s births.
    Not that big of a deal for the father.
    But, for the mom, Wow! I’m still amazed 25 years later.

  59. Goodgrief says

    Just to be different, Janet Jackson. Maybe she really isn’t the one pregnant and he didn’t think it was necessary to be there to watch the surrogate give birth.

  60. Squeezes99 says

    I’m old enough to remember when it was unheard of for a father or anyone else except the doctor and nurses to witness the birth of a child. Attitudes have changed quite a bit in a relatively short time.

  61. woowoo says

    Carrie, I highly recommend it! When I went to my first Dr. appt. with my first pregnancy, he went ahead and scheduled a c-section because my hips are very narrow. The section went very smoothly and so did the second one. I’m now almost 50 and many of my natural birth giving friends my age suffer from episodes of “bladder leakage”. Not me!

    Just my experience and opinion, I know others might feel differently.

  62. Squirrelnutkin says

    Blake lively and Ryan Reynolds. Just out of curiosity– does anyone elses gaydar go off with him? I don’t know why but I have a hard time believing he’s straight (not that I care either way!). He always seems really effeminate.

  63. blinkandyoumight says

    @thelasthigh

    yea if the father-to-be is queasy or feels really sick around things like that I have major sympathy! sometimes it’s good to let the mom be able to focus. i definitely think thats a worthy exception and doesnt take away the love the dads-to-be have! (or moms-to-be that cant watch their wives in labor)

    though being not even in the hospital, like im guessing this blind implies, is awful. bad ryan reynolds!

  65. Sidewayz says

    This lol. I don’t even want my husband in the same room and I’m kind of of hoping to just get a c section, hope I don’t sound terrible ?

  66. prinny says

    hmmm I don’t think its Blake and Ryan. Sounds more like a couple having their first child with hubby nervous about what he has to witness. If he’s been through it before I can’t imagine him being so fearful the second time around.

    He’s a fool. Being present at the birth of your child is a magical experience you never forget, says my husband. Sure its gross but man up already. To witness it is nothing compared to going through the actual birth!

  67. Mia444 says

    Mine, too! And he seems completely uninterested in starting yet another round of kids with Wife #3.

  68. VTskibride says

    WOW, whoever this is it’s Beyond sad that they didn’t want to be there for the birth of their child. That would be such a disappointment and would forever change the way I viewed my husband. My hubby and I have one child and we always refer to his birth as the most amazing day of our lives. I can’t believe anyone could possibly want to miss it and not want to be there to support their partner and to see and hold their child. This person is a major Loser in my opinion. I feel sorry for…

  70. LooLoo says

    Yeah, funny thing about c-sections- they’re extremely hard to heal from and end up causing 10 times more pain than a vaginal birth in the long run. You’re also awake during it. Yup- you’re awake as they pull your organs out and stitch them up and put them back in. It’s not something that a reasonable person would want unless it was medically necessary.

  71. Ladieu says

    Ryan and Blake, maybe he was shocked by the previous birth?

    Some men fail to see their wives as sexual beings after witnessing a birth, it’s strange but does happen.

  74. kacedia says

    I agree with this guess. This sounds like a first time dad situation. Also, possibly an old school foreign ideal.

  76. kikiie says

    Hilaria and Alec Baldwin. His body language towards her has changed this time, he looks totally disinterested

  77. KatarinaJ says

    I hate Ryan. He seems like such a tool to me. Am I the only one? And I’m sorry but he is ‘ugly hot’ like if you look really close he looks cross-eyed. Do NOT get the appeal except for the hot bod. And it was he decided to do animation that I realized what a lame, weak voice he has.

  78. KatarinaJ says

    I’ve heard friends who were happy they had c- section in the moment but dreaded it later in healing. I was EXHAUSTED after my natural birth but I went back to feeling normal pretty fast.

  79. KatarinaJ says

    This cracks me up. My husband was there but i wouldn’t have cared it he was. The doctor asked if I wanted them to prop a mirror so I could ‘see’ the birth. I was like HELL no, I feel it, who would want to see it happening lol? Plus, yes the focus and NO NEED for concern or interaction with your spouse IS a plus!

  81. MrsBreeder says

    My oldest is 12….husband was there. He’d never really been around a baby before and is VERY squeamish about blood, etc. (Can’t even watch the kids wiggling their teeth.) Let’s just say I thought he might pass out when (as he put it) the head “just kept coming.”

    I agree with @blink…you should at least be at the hospital/birthing center!

  83. mamasaid says

    I also had a problem free C-section- I was doing laundry a week after the procedure. No after effects, but we are lucky, i often hear of Csecs where the women suffer even years later, or from a botched epidural.

  84. Katmandu says

    Every time I read something like this, I am moved to comment on my own C-section (which was most welcome after 12 hard hours of labor). I must come from hearty peasant stock because I had only moderate pain in the hospital, mild pain at home, and I was back to my usual activity remarkably quickly! I feel some women moan and groan about their C-sections to make it sound bad, to get attention and sympathy. I am NOT accusing LooLoo here, or anyone else of such, but this was my own experience.

  85. Lebowski says

    What the hell is wrong with people?
    I delivered both my kids (with a midwife present in case.)

    Also was present for 11 of the 14 nephew and niece births of my siblings.
    What could possibly be any more important in life than the birth of your own kids and that of family?

  86. SilentStar says

    This is my guess too.

    Regardless of the type of birth, I would expect a father to be part of it, even if it’s unpleasant.

  88. JennyJustice says

    this is not Blake and Ryan. This is their second child and he was there for the first and already knew what was involved. I can’t see him passing up being there for the second baby because he’s squeamish? I think this is someone with their first child or the father wouldn’t be being such a pussy about child birth.

  89. Lola99 says

    I suppose that’s true if you consider 40 or 50 years to be ‘a relatively short time’! LOL

  90. ladybugjones says

    NOPE! not Blake & Ryan – he would be there front and centre same with ashton and adam.
    It’s Alec Baldwin & Hilaria
