Um…what part? I’ve been with my wife for one natural birth and one c section and recall no smell

Same here. I smelled nothing.

Been right by my wife’s side for both of my kid’s births, I also don’t remember any smells at all. I’m wondering though if that’s because of all the adrenaline in the moment your brain doesn’t think to consider

Yeah I just did a google search and doesn’t seem like the consensus is a “bad” smell at all including doctors and nurses who’ve delivered hundreds of babies.
