One of my best friends has asked me to be one of her birthing partners during the birth of her first child. I'm thrilled but also pretty apprehensive. Wondered if anyone else has done this and if so have you got any tips? Her husband will be there as well but is pretty squeamish and can't imagine will be of great use when it comes to the push and shove! Tips for him would also be welcomed (particularly if you/r husband was also of the more fragile variety - how did they cope???
