Wife says A-Rod is a Wimp

Comments (4)

Last month Yankees' Alex Rodriguez and his wife Cynthia had their second daughter, Ella Alexander, weighing at 7 pounds and 2 ounces. But A-Rod's wife says that he's not very helpful when it comes to the labor and giving birth part. In an upcoming episode of YES Network's "YESterdays", Cynthia said that Alex was a shell of himself when their first daughter, Natasha Alexander, was born.


"The one nurse had a cold cloth on his head. The other nurse had the blood pressure on his arm. And my mother was like rubbing his back. And he is passed out on a couch. And I am there, in the middle of labor," Cynthia Rodriguez told the TV show, which airs Wednesday night. "And really, I am not being paid much attention to besides the doctor and a couple of nurses. And he is there moaning. In between pushing, I am going, 'Honey, are you OK?' and 'Are you breathing? Are you OK?'"

The couple first daughter was born on November 18, 2004. They have been married for five years after meeting in a gym in Miami. A-Rod conveniently arrived to the hospital a few minutes after their second daughter was born.

"As tough and big as he seems, he is real wimpy around doctors or any type of medical situation," Cynthia continued. "I don't know why I thought the birth of our child would be different. In the middle of the night, I realized that I needed to go to the hospital. I wake him up. The first thing that comes out of his mouth: 'Can we call your mother?' ... A few hours later, I said, 'I think you can call my mom now.' Uh, and the color came back to his face when I told him he could call my mom."

Some say the same thing happens during the playoffs, the pressure is unbearable!
