Writing the birth story down is a great thing to do and fascinating to look back on as the details of that amazing day fade in your memory over the years. It is always a different story from the dad's perspective (compared with Mum's experience) and will give your sons in particular, an insight into what it is like to become a father and to have a positive role in childbirth.
