Also, you might think watching the baby come out will ruin sex for you after, it won't! I wasn't planning on watching from "that end," but when the time came I couldn't help it. It's exciting. First something all nasty is down there, and you're like "is that part of the head???" and then before you know it there's a head sticking out. (For us at least) the rest of the body came right out after so before we knew it we had a screaming little boy. If the hospital allows it, and you're clear-minded enough to think about it, have your cell ready to call someone important so they can hear the cries. We decided to call my mom first (minutes after while he was crying) since her mom will get to see her mom. Also, calling a relative is good because then they can call family while you rest/oogle/kiss/realize your life has changes.
We were induced so I can't help you too much on that. But one day I was at work and get a call "I think my water broke, can you get here soon?" I made a 40 minute trip in about 20 minutes, no lie. Just a false alarm, though.
Now she's due Feb. 4th (and dialating already!), and I'm supposed to go back to work on Feb. 1st (more than likely) so that'll be interesting. "Yeah, I know I've been back for two days but I need to take a week or so off now. Thanks!"
