"We'll be in labor"? Sorry - only the woman is in labor.
Exactly. But I'll be praying all of you.
""We'll be in labor"? Sorry - only the woman is in labor."

My hubby might agree with you in principle, but having been there through the births of our four kids, he recognizes that Dads go through their own 'labor' watching their wives dealing with the pains of childbirth. He said it's the most helpless he's ever felt.
Oh, I think the husband can join his "labor" to hers. It's surely only the wife who has the contractions, but many a wife has been very glad to have her husband about, especially if he proves helpful and attentive.

May God bless your labor, Mr. and Mrs! And God bless Baby Hoosier!
