Dads, did you do it when your baby was born or did the doctor handle it?

Nope. They didn't give me the choice and I wasn't about to try anyway.

No.

Me - uhh, umm, *woozy *nauseous uhh
Doctor - yes you do, here
Me - shite
Snip

Of course.
It's like a tough piece of rope.
You have to use their scissors, they won't let you use your own knife.

I did it. On my second one, the shite squirted out when I cut it and got on my face and shirt.
I was honestly surprised how tough that damn cord was.

What the frick am I paying for?

Have no clue if this is the truth, but as a first responder I was told if I cut the cord I went on record as the deliverer of the baby.
Also, hold the cord above the baby when cutting or they could bleed out.

Yep. The Dr and nurses didn't speak English, so even if they asked, I didn't know. I'm just fine with that.

Yep. I grabbed the scissors and went for a quick snip and run, but it took me a second attempt.

No. I was on the other side of the country.

That umbilical cord was one of the coolest things I have ever seen and I cut it like a boss when my son was born.

They would not let us (sections), but I did cut my own when I came out of my mom.

I thought it was like cutting trough a slippery piece of rubber tubing.
