Really?  That's so odd - I watched both my wife's epidurals, and not 
only was there not any blood or anything that could imagine would induce 
fainting (well, ok, there was the huge needle), but it was really 
interesting to see the procedure.  Of course, once the nurses figured 
out I wasn't the fainting type, they asked me to put on a gown and 
gloves and wash up and they let me fetch things and help out a little.  
It was quite the experience.

They also said you'd be surprised how many husbands faint or feel faint 
at some point in the process - at least half.
