Sage - He's worried too, and when you start to lose it, it probably terrifies him. My H isn't so hot in the comforting department either - but I've learned that if I tell him exactly what I need ("I need you to sit here and rub my head and tell me things will be okay") he does pretty well. Guys just can't handle the frustration when they don't know how to fix something.
Yeah, I went to 42 weeks - the next year, my best friend had her first son at 36 1/2 weeks after 2 hours of labor. When I figured out her pregnancy was almost a month and a half shorter than mine, I was STEAMED!
