star,

my husband is squeamish too. He freaks out if he sees AF blood, gets all retchy if he has to change nappies, and I was really worried about how he'd go in the delivery suite with me when I birthed Charlie.

I even posted about it here asking for advice!

But on the day he was really great. He did see my waters being ruptured, but the rest of the time, he pretty much stayed up top with me, holding me hand, supporting me, being great. When I was pushing, he stayed near my head encouraging me and telling me how wonderful I was. I saw the baby crowning in the mirror, but DH didn't, he was too intent on supporting me.

But he did cut the cord. Plus he held Charlie for ages, even though he was covered in blood and gunk. You'll be surprised how they are able to support you without necessarily witnessing every single gory detail. He was a great support person, I have to say!
