Dom,
I am mega squeemish (like the Big Yellow One suggest, I turned away at the nasty epidural needle in back bit) and I positioned myself so that I was unable to see the "gubbins" going on (was worried it would put me off sex for life ).

Despite my fears, Jen would have awarded me a medal if she could, she really appreciated my support and was amazed how I lasted the entire course (not even losing colour ).

Despite this, I still gag when doing a really gooey-pooey nappy - so that shows how bad I am .

Anyway, not to put you off, but you remember that bit out of Jaws where they cut the shark open and all blood and guts rush out? That's the after-birth making it's exit that is . Even the Doctor had to jump out of the way as it splashed onto the floor (I quietly looked at Jen to offer her reassurance at this point - it didn't have anything to do with the thought that I might end up on the floor with what had just came out - honest Guv ).
