I am only human and so I have many flaws such as my love for beer, ice cream, movies with Paul Rudd in and music by Justin Beaver (I know I should be shot, and if it helps I do have some manly Metallica on my iPhone as well).
One flaw has me worried in particular and that is that I am squeamish. For most of my life this has not been a problem, I have collapsed a few times but generally I know the signs and some deep breaths and sugary goods can prevent me from passing out.
What worries me is the fact that the birth will contain blood as well a my partner screaming in pain (or at me for collapsing). I reckon blood wise I will be ok as my mam accidentally cut her wrist (with a plant pot believe it or not) a while back and when I got to her there was allot of blood (including some pulsing out of her wrist) and I did some first aid and got her to the hospital and it was only when I had to fill in the paperwork at the hospital and had time to think about it that I started to feel faint.
I also worry that I will worry about it so much that it will be a self fulfilling prophecy, however to make it easier on me and my wife we have asked her sister to be in the room as well to step in should I need to collapse.
Only time will tell how this one goes?
