I have found it interesting sitting in on the birthing suites, and watching the variability amongst the Dads-to-be.
I had, for no good reason that I can think of, thought that they would all fulfull certain basic characteristics, such as being involved in supporting their partner, being outwardly excited when the baby was born, and wanting to be involved, however this is actually not the case.
I suppose that this is just another example of human variety, but it seemed a bit odd to me to have some guys who behaved as though they themselves were squeezing the baby out, and others who sat in the corner and barely said a thing throughout the entire process.
