How can I help my wife through labor?

Don't be a monitor-watcher

Many dads seem fascinated with the fetal monitors and other high-tech gadgets that sometimes accompany a birth. Don't forget that it is your wife who is doing the work and really needs your support. It is generally NOT helpful to make comments such as "Watch out, here comes a big one!" Keep your focus where it belongs--on your wife.
