While moms endure the painful contractions and crowning babies, it's their partners who have to stand by and watch — in all of childbirth's bloody glory.

Just because men aren't the ones delivering the baby [1] doesn't mean that the process is always easy on them. Some dads-to-be can't handle helplessly seeing the mother of their child in pain, others get faint at the sight of any blood, and some experience a bit of physical pain as well. When Alisha Baxter was delivering her baby girl, the hysterical look on her husband's face [2] encompassed it all.

Jive Ria looked particularly terrified as Alisha squeezed his fingers in a fierce grip when she began to push. Her cousin captured the Australian dad's expression right when his daughter, Blakely, began to crown.

"Us blokes go through a lot of pain as well. As you can see in my face," Jive told the Daily Mail [3]. He also wanted to share some wisdom with other men about to enter fatherhood: "Just be there and do as you're told or you will end up hurt."
