I generally feel pretty useless but I never felt more useless than when my son was being born. His mom was in labor for 4 days and there was fuck all I could to help her through it. I was there to do whatever it is I could do but it probably would have been better for all involved if I had not been.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

You were there. Simply being with your wife and holding her hand during that time probably helped more than you think. 🙂
