I always thought that the old-fashioned way was the best way - the way they did it 40 or 50 years ago. You know, where the mother's job was to go in and have the baby, and the father's job was to sit in the waiting room and smoke cigarettes while leafing through old issues of National Geographic. ;)

I'll admit,not having to walk this far for a smoke is a pain.
But she's putting up with a little more then me. ;-)

Don't sell yourself short, now - the "emotional support" thing is the hard part, really. Don't be fooled by all that grunting and sweating - it's all an act, and the next time you get up to go to the bathroom or something, your wife and all the nurses will be laughing and joking about the fact that you bought it. So, when it looks like she's in the most terrible discomfort and pain near the end, you just go ahead and lean over and whisper "I'm on to you - I know you're faking it"....

That should get you a few years of sleeping on the couch ;)
