The midwife I had during DD1's labour thought DH was a crack-up... between pushing I was moaning about how much pain I was in, and poor DH was standing next to me, holding my hand and saying, 'I'm sorry, babe,' over and over... the midwife said, 'It's unusual that the men apologise for putting the missus in this position, usually they're hiding in the bathroom while mum throws things in his direction screaming, 'You did this to meee!''... DH said, 'Oh, I'm not sorry I put her in this situation, just sorry I can't do anything to help her out right now... it looks pretty intense!' lol :/
