I'm going to disagree with this point. You want us guys to tell our wives that have spent the last 9 months with a parasite inside of them (possibly making them sick and miserable) what to do with their own body when the time for labour comes?
We are expecting kid #2 in late June and once again the choice to use drugs or not during labour will be my wife's choice, and hers alone. I will be there to help her out in any way she wants (and if she asks my opinion at that time I will supply it).
The woman runs the show when it comes to childbirth. Sure you can talk about the birth plan beforehand, but as we found out the first time most of that "plan" goes right out the window in the heat of the moment, and I let my wife do what she wanted to have that baby.
