Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I saw my wife give birth, it was both gross and fascinating but mostly I was grateful that she went through that for us, so yeah I also thought it was beautiful.
My wife is preggers so I've got all this to look forward to .
Don't bail out on watching it. It really is fascinating to see.
But for sure don't prioritize watching over helping your wife out. Pushing on her upper back while she's pushing helped my wife out a ton. There was a clear difference in the baby's movement through the birth canal when I helped out.
But have fun! It's such a wild, exhausting time. Your wife is going to struggle so be supportive!
Sorry for the unsolicited advice, we had our first kid a couple months ago, so it's still fresh in my mind.
It's our first kid as well. Shitting bricks but I'm almost certainly less worried than her so I think my role is to basically support her as much as possible. Thanks for the advice!
