My DH gets very squimish at things like needles, but both births he has been there & even when I had the c/s he was peeking around to have a look. This birth we had a support person as well & I wouldn't ever try it again without a support person as well as DH. He needed a break and she was able to take over & when decisions needed to be made he had her strength in knowing that the decisions were what I wanted & he was making the right ones. He also gained so much from being there, watched the whole thing & once the cold stopped pulsating he cut it. He said he wouldn't miss it for the world and it did really change the way he saw me.
