How should I approach talking to my husband about this?

My husband said that he might not be able to handle being in the delivery room with me when our twins are born. Not trying to be selfish, but if I needed him to be there for me emotionally, should I persuade him to do otherwise?

Just be honest about how important his support is to you. Frankly, I think it's unfair that he helped you make these children and doesn't even know if he can put his own hesitations aside to be there for you during their birth. He's equally responsible for them. It's not like he needs to watch the birth, he can just hold your hand.
