Was DH nervous?

in December 2012 Moms
Things are tracking for our due dateI guess. As I show signs, DH is getting increasingly
Nervous. We're 38 weeks, 1 cm and "softening". Progress is good. I started thinking I might make flash cards for him for when we actually go. Any one else have DH ideas?

Edit: Flash cards of what to do ie breath, focal points, suggestions on what to do

    I am 38 weeks and 3 days.  My DH is the same.  A month ago he couldn't wait another minute for our LO to get here, but now that her arrival could happen any day, he is suddenly not quite ready and wants her to stay in until Christmas.  He's just nervous, but he'll be fine.  I have no ideas other than to take something for him that will actually keep him occupied.  I need to make sure mine has some magazines and his laptop for the hospital or he'll probaby drive me nuts.

    What do you mean flash cards? I'm sure my DH was probably very nervous before our children were born. We didn't take any sort of classes (he was getting ready to deploy 2 weeks after my due date with my son so there wasn't time in his schedule) so he went in not knowing anything about the child birth process and even then he covered his anxiety about the situation very well!

    Flash cards seems a little overboard and patronizing, IMO. You can't really study for this.

    Just make sure he knows what you expect of him, if anything. It's normal for anyone going through this to feel nervous. He's concerned for you and your baby. The waiting is the hardest part for a lot of people, but once you're in the situation, you may be surprised by him. Give him some credit.

    My DH passes out really easily so yes he is nervous.  I'm just as nervous for him as I am for myself :)
