It's not that bad sherm, although I have no idea why any one would want to video tape that. Both our kids were C section so that is a little different. Amy was an emergency and was a little scary, when nurses start running and shouting it is a little unnerving.

Our first was a hopital birth, but the other 3 were home births. The last one was actually anassisted. That means it was just the wife and me. No need to be scared. Just make sure you know what's going to happen. I'm pretty sure it's happened before! And like Fom said, we're all behind you Sherm.

Good luck to both of you and congratulations.

I have been there for all five of my boys births.

I was sure glad to be the non-delivering parent.

Actually my wife was great for all the births. But I have heard some truly uninhibited yelling from some of the other rooms in the delivery ward.

Makes you wonder why women have more than one baby?

My wife says that she forgets about the pain.

Must be some evolutionary tweak for the propagation of the species LOL.

Well when my wife was delivering our first daughter I made the mistake of sitting on the bed at the same time as my wife was having a hard contraction. This made her very uncomfortable and she proceeded to let me know about it in a not so polite way. I never made that mistake again. She was very good in the delivery room all 3 times you just have to give her lots of support and you will be fine.
