Also, how do they feel about the birth process now?

I found throughout the birth of my son that i was holding back completely on my feelings and emotions just because i felt i needed to stay positive and in control for the times when Sammi had lost all of hers. i have always been the type of person who has been fine doing this (putting my feelings aside for the moment to handle difficult situations).And i can also see that dads/birthing partners that ...
