Thanks Rebeca, that was beautiful. As Mike Tyson said "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face."

As a man I will never have the opportunity to give birth, regardless of what certain sectors of society say. That said I took a real interest in the birth of my first child (not so much the second) and the developmental stages of the fetus. I read "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and other books, went to every consultation with my wife, and I as a father had my own expectations of what would happen that all went out the window as well. I won't go into it but appreciate you doing so. Thanks again.

Partners can certainly carry their own disappointment or trauma from the birth experience as well! Thanks so much for taking the time to read, Luke, and for your thoughtful feedback. Hope your family is happy and healthy!
