Just The labor can be long and agonizing, and most H's wish there was just something he could do to take her pain away. His role during that time should be to show her he is emotionally strong, stable, and confident. She doesn't need to see him crying or begging her for anything. He doesn't show her how afraid he really feels. He doesn't start acting like a crazy person and screaming along with her, or reacting to her contractions. He doesn't even get upset when she screams, "This is all your fault. I will never let you touch me
Always helps to read your perspective and anologies, which I think fits well. I get caught up with trying to identify what my wife is over and over (WAW/depressed W/WW) or some combination of all 3 and think I need to be doing something. I need to just let go and stop trying/wanting to control the outcome.
I also keep wanting W to come back too fast and I know that can have a bad outcome. Deep down I know if she does come back and it's not done right I may be the WAH/WH later down the road, which terrifies me more.

Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
