I mean I'm American and personally if I ever have a wife that's going through labor i'm going to be right there with her holding her hand and giving her hugs and doing everything I can to let her know I'm there for her.

She's probably not going to want hugs just a heads up.  Your there to be a set of hands for getting things and give her someone to vent to mostly, also a source of distraction from the process.

I also noticed multiple men in this thread talking about “hugging my wife with every contraction” or similar.

Made me laugh.

I think I would have beaten my husband to death with my IV pole if he tried to hug me while I was pushing.

I think also knowing when to bend the truth a bit, my wife asked if there was much bleeding. I said no its not that bad. It was fairly substantial, not big problems substantial, but substantial. The last thing she needed to hear right then was the truth.
