Expecting fathers: delivery room - yes or no?
Mr Douglas Levison

You are the first "man" I have ever heard of that has opted to leave the room.

my FIL was wheeled out, I think

yes
Mathlete

I was in the room. I would have caught the baby if given the chance.

When we were discussing what we would need to take to the hospital I joked that

Those seem entirely reasonable

Wives never think we're funny. Why is that?
Almaden Cougar
7/22/14 2:04pm
It's all about timing. During labor, that joke probably doesn't seem as funny
Ashtrash

It is a mystery. because girlfriends think we are hilarious.

i don't really care but I don't get why this should be the case

Not to mention that historically the mother has been there for the birth
Shimmy

I would also include a doula if the women wants one.

if your wife's cool with it, then you're good. You owe her many diaper changes

You don't know by now that what she says is not what she means.

Wait a minute... you let your mother in law go in and you stay out?

Our first was that way. The MIL wanted to be there so badly that she even tried

That's bull. The MIL can pay the delivery bills then.
Mister P
7/22/14 2:01pm
i think he means the mother that's having the child
fattycoug
7/22/14 2:02pm
I would argue that.
Mister P
7/22/14 2:03pm
why? i'll probably never be in a delivery room due to my ragin infertility but
fattycoug
7/22/14 2:06pm
It's a bonding moment for the couple. Mom had her time.
Mister P

i would trust my wife. if she wanted someone there. they're invited

I had my mom and sisters in the room

C-Sections are far too common than they need to be.

Agreed. Too many social inductions and too much litigation.
