My boyfriend did it with my little boy, they did ask him if he wanted to so your partner doesnt have too! My fiance was abit worried I think, he kept asking if he was cutting the right place and said he found it abit tricky coz it was so rubbery! Said he definatly wants to do it next time tho! How are you getting on this month snowygirl?

My hubby didnt get to cut the cord cuz I had a c-section but hes hoping to with this one. Ive seen shows on discovery health where the cord is around the neck so they have the dad cut it while just the head is out and the mom is screaming "just take it out!" so that worries me a little lol

no need to test again my period started a few days ago :( , bit confused about why my cycle ended up being 39days! Usually only 30 days at the most, does any one know if having irregular periods make it harder to conceive?
You must let me know how it goes on tues! Good luck!!!!
