Wait. This is common? I was there for every second of my child’s birth.

Same here, for 29 hours.

My knees were in agony, because I would get up and hug my wife for every contraction.

I’m sure it wasn’t fun for my wife either. 😂

I about missed the birth of my second child. Wife was past due and the doc was worried the baby would be born on the side of the highway, so they wanted to induce. I figured induced labor lasts pretty long so I told my wife I'm prepping for the long haul and was going to grab a quick bite in the cafeteria so I wouldn't have to leave during labor.

The labor zoomed by. Got back and they were prepping to start pushing. Half a push into active labor and that baby slide right on out. Probably should have waited on lunch.
