I think DP felt a little useless and out of sorts... and he was also sooo bored for a lot of the time we were in the birthing suite, cause it took them over 5 hours to get the syntocin drip in my hands, and so much of that was just waiting and waiting for various drs/nurses to come back etc, etc.

He was really sweet though, cause at about the 8th drip attempt (I think), I started getting really panicky and upset, and he would come and hold my other hand and distract me from watching how they were butchering my hands up.

He was also really great during the pushing stage, he followed the midwife's lead and gave heaps of encouragement and praise, and probably contributed to it being such a short amout of pushing, cause he really made me believe the end was near so I would give it my all...
