Well, making sure the place is safe and ready for delivery is one, and offering as much love and support you can is another. This helpless feeling is common when a mate is in labor, and though I don't have much in the way of answers, the main thing is is to be there, help with what you can help with, and let your mate know she means everything to you. ^.^

Teehee, that's a really good answer to that =3 And I'd have to wholeheartedly agree with you ^^ It's just so important to let your mate know that you're there for her ^^ Thankies for commenting on it =3 That's what I was trying to get at though, just the momentary helpless feeling when your mate's in labor before getting a grip and doing what must be done ^^ *huggehs* =) And hope you're doing well =)

*hugs back* I''m doing better, I hope you are doing well. :)

That's great news ^^ It's pleasant to hear that really. Well, stuff's hectic but I'm doing fine, yay! XD

A trick question in a way. There's not much you can do physiclly but emotional support and what Anaktis said can make all the difference in the world for them

Yeah, I think you're right, it would be like a trick question in a sense =3 And I also agree with you, emotional support is key in this ^^ Thanks so much for the input, it's curious to see different suggestions when it comes to stuff like this ^^ That or just how people would react in a delicate situation like that =3

BOIL WATER.... that or run around flailing your arms

XD That's definitely one way to go about it, the desperate father mode XD Well, at least you're doing something right? XD Though there's something to be said over a woman in labor telling her frustrated mate to get a grip XD And how you doing kris? =3 Everything okies with you? ^^

no not really to tell the truth

Aww...what's going on...? =/

long story, and its abit personaly to tell on a open comment like this

>> I may refer back to these comments...

I think you'll be fine dear =P So long as you don't leave me there on the floor to push them out by chance, I think we'll be fine XD *hugs* =)

Well, definitely making sure the mother-to-be is comfortable as can be is a must, but in most cases, it is for the mate to run her over to a group of people who can help with the birth better than he ^^;;

Definitely =3 In a situation like that one, I guess I'd be fearing she'd kill me if I DIDN'T make her as comfortable as I possibly could D: But yes, it's good to take her over to someone who can definitely be able to help her out further with the birth ^^ Even with that, I'm sure the franticness would stop the moment you held the little bundle of joy in your arms =^-^=

Cool pic! nice to see ya again!

Thanks! =D And thank you, it's good to see you too, Badger-poker now turned Assassin XD I hope to scan some more of them and post them soon...or if not tomorrow, monday night...>>; I dun want to though. Btw, love your icon XD Nothing like Zero Punctuation XD Everything going good with you? =)

YUP! You still like my girls?

XD I do, I'm kinda going back into drawing vore again...slowly but surely, I just got too overwhelmed with some of the requests being done...>>; But, you know, I was thinking about your girl Sandra, I just need to find the right pose for her XD

Cool. Let em know when you do it!

First and foremost, emotional support is absolutely crucial. Second, physical, if need be. Beyond that...try to let nature happen.

So very right =3 And I love your last words, 'let nature happen' since, you're definitely right, do let nature happen, it's part of the process, but even as he doesn't know what to do, the fact that he's there is pretty much all she needs, at least emotionally, nothing sadder than just going at it alone when you don't want to. Lovely wise words Tide =3

*blush* Aw, it weren't nothing...I'm glad you appreciate the input.

I'd say it depends on the situation, I would make sure to have painkillers ready (you might say you want a "natural birth", lets see what happens when the the little one gets pushed out) and a mobilphone in case something goes wrong.
I would personally be driving my significant other to the closest hospital.

slipped under my radar the first time...

Hmm, I very much agree with what you mention, it does indeed depend on the situation. Some women are kinda all for the having the birth at home and others are more comfortable with it being in a hospital. You know, now that I think about it...>>; I don't even know what I would do myself, whether letting it happen in the hospital or at home, but I'll cross the bridge when I get there, I'd get too freaked out otherwise XD But yeah, you're just pretty much saying that it all depends on what your mate wants and that's so important really ^^ Kinda sucks when so many people are fretting and not listening to the needs of the one about to give birth. Teehee, though it's also good of ya to fret a little and just take her somewhere where they can give her the help she so needs =3 Lovely to know of a worrysome but good mate ^^

Slipped? D: What? XD

I agree with you there.

didn't notice this picture when browsing thru new submissions, found it on the favorites of another user (the latest "pregnant meeko").

I want to see a picture of the happy parents and the newborn... (have you considered sending one of the "pregnant Meeko" pictures while telling him that that is something you would like his help with?)
