Is this your first child?

It is. All of her friends in school will think I'm her grandfather.

Second, I've been in the room with a woman giving birth naturally. It's horrifying. But remember, the pain is only temporary and the amazing thing about child birth (and the human body) is that a woman isn't able to relive the pain once it's gone. It's like your body goes into preservation mode and actually builds a cocoon around the incident. Otherwise women wouldn't ever give birth for a second time if they could actually recall the pain.

I've never thought about it that way, but it must be true, or they would never have another one. But my wife will take the epidural. If I tried to tell her, "no," I would have an angry wife and mother in law. And I don't want her to have to go through that without pain meds, anyway.

A girl my wife knew in college had a child a few years back, and her husband told her that the pain of natural childbirth is God's way of punishing female's for Eve's betrayal. That's some fricked up shite.

Good luck with everything and remember to sit your arse down if you start feeling light headed. I went out on my feet with my youngest child during her birth. Lol.

I grew up helping cows give birth and helping with C sections on them when necessary. I hope I got this.
