I have no problem being there for support, and having spent part of my younger days on a farm helping my grandfather with cattle and goats in birthing I am not particularly squeamish.
when i was twenty i lost twins at the sixth month of pregnancy, that was real tough, my first husband was quite supportive, it was in the uk and he was there when they pulled out the little bodies one by one, later when my friends( from germany) came to visit who were there for my wedding( it happened on the same day), one of my friend (a frail little punk) fainted,
that was so cute
Part of my nursing training was a three-month stint of working in the gynaecology ward, so I saw a few of similar miscarriages. The first one I saw has stuck in my mind. The tiny little 4 months foetus just slipped out into the bed, and I had to clean up the mess. It didn't bother me, so I imagine I could be on the viewing end of someone having a baby, if I was asked to be there.
