Re: Child-Birth classes - help a nervous man here!.
I'm pregnant with my 4th too (big surprise to us!) and I've been through the c-section once and natural birth twice. I'm having a homebirth this time much much easier than major surgery.

Look on the bright side.
You'll probably pick up some colorful language you have never heard before(directed at you of course), from your missus when she's going through transition
Having had 3 different types of birth, give me vaginal with an epidural anyday. Even having stitches in a certain place beats a C-S anyday.
