Many moms consider themselves mothers the minute they realize they are pregnant, but for dads, that moment often doesn’t fully happen until they are standing helplessly while their partner writhes in pain for hours during labor.
After almost 24 hours of painful labor, Australian mom-to-be Alisha Baxter was surrounded by her husband Jive, her mother, and her cousin, who was excitedly photographing the entire birth, when she started to push out her baby daughter, Blakely.
As Alisha started to push, however, it became clear that she wasn’t the only one going through a lot of pain. “He wasn’t saying anything, he was just really nervous,” Alisha said of her husband. “Before we were in the birthing suite he had a little moment crying because he couldn’t help me through the pain.”
Aside from his nerves about being a new dad, Jive was focusing on handling the pain that mom was giving him as she squeezed his hand, and the pain and terror were clear on his face as he looked down to see the baby coming out. “At the time my mum told him to look because the baby’s head was crowning and he didn’t really want to look,” Alisha said.
“Us blokes go through a lot of pain as well. As you can see in my face haha,” Jive said about the hysterical picture, which Alisha’s cousin managed to capture.
