    I've phoned my mother and asked her. Apparently I didn't wear any watch when I was born. :wink: :lol:

    Best wishes! :)

    IMO a good idea - could maybe have been painful for your mum.

    You're right, but I guess it was quite painful even without a watch because of my measures (59 cm, 4,750 gr). :roll:
    Moreover I'm sure it was not the worst pain by far my mother had to withstand with her beloved son. 8)

    I'm sorry, have I accidentaly linked to the other TimeZone?

    Next you'll be asking which watch to wear whilst micturating or having sex.

    Fingers crossed :)
    ...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

    Your wife might think you have your priorities a bit skewed, bearing in mind she has just gone into labour and here you are on the forum asking us what watch you should wear :D

    Good luck though - I would go with the speedie to time the contractions

    all the best, it's a truly unique experience which no-one can really prepare you for. Treasure your time until he/she arrives home, then the real work starts . . .

    Good luck to you & your wife - I'd take the PO as I'm assuming it's gonna get wet!

    I'm going to take my Speedy when my wife gives birth in the next 4 weeks or so. Always handy for timing those contractions :) Good luck to you both.

    I was wearing a Damasko DC57 when my daughter was born. Mind you, as it was an emergency C-section, I don't take any credit for planning it. :)

    Good luck. I wore a Monaco with a leather strap when my daughter was born, big mistake. Always wear a rubber strap or a braclet in those situations. And don't check the sales forum on your mobile during delivery. No more advice to give, sorry

    All the best for the birth; I would recommend one of these (good for future use too):

    Cheers and many thanks to all, lets get the important info over first!
    So it's like this I went with PO, thinking of washability mainly, but got fed up with timing using the bezel :wink: .
    So....switched to the Speedy!...then timing nirvana was reached :D .... Rose did give me a cheeky look as I opened up my Speedy box, polished the PO with my Selvyt and put it away. :lol: Thought I may have taken a step to far but luckily nature interviened with another contraction. (Home birth BTW 8) )

    Epic session...New baby arrived Sunday 2.50am, 8lbs 11.5 Oz. Well chuffed :D a new baby girl to join my clan, two boys and a girly..spot on!! Wifey Rose SOOOPER chuffed :D 8)

    Finally got to bed at 5.40 am, boys came into the room just before 7.30..fully refreshed with 1hr 49minutes sleep time recorded on the Speedy

    :D
    Thanks again

    Tim

    Yep, big congratulations to you. I reckon it will be good for Wifey Rose to have a female ally, with all you blokes around. And that it won't be long before your new arrival is running rings around all of you... (We have a baby girl, too, who - at 14 months - already knows how to manipulate me like you wouldn't believe).

    I wonder what her first watch will be?

    Congratulations!

    The Americans have a great tradition of sending proud fathers a box of cigars, one I think we should adopt - I will certainly smoke one for you tonight. :)

    Best wishes to all three of you!
