I was the same way Terri with my daughter. Noone was going to keep me from my daughter's side unless she didn't want me there. But she clung to me. Her DH was there but he had no clue how to comfort her!! She is my best friend and being there for her was just natural for us. I tried to step back and let Ben be her coach but he wasn't comfortable with it so I got to be there for her. He was in the room and got to cut the cord. He had me take pictures of Zach's birth but Sara wouldnt' ever let me see them!!! LOL She didn't remember giving me permission to take them! They were too personal to her. I do understand that to some extent.
