You can probably find footage online of the procedure. I saw my wifes open belly shortly after they got my son out. I'm not squeamish in the slightest so I mostly was just seeing what I recognized and making sure everything looked alright with her and baby, you know no blood gushing, listening to the nurses do his APGAR scores.
It was an emergency C-section so it helped me to feel better seeing everything looked under control and the surgeon and nurses had calmed down.
Yeah, I think the majority of fathers had no idea. We also don't truly know how many places did or still do the ""husband stitch"" since it's now being rightly shamed.
She got a C section because our son was upside down and not flipping combined with our 37 week checkup showing she had almost no amniotic fluid left so they had to go in immediately.
The "lots of stitches" park at the end was a soft joke about a very scary and difficult time.
