[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something to be worked out between the couple.

I would not want to be present but maybe down the line I will feel differently. I would have an issue with my future spouse using my unwillingness to be present as benchmark for our relationship and how I feel about our children.

A question for the women who feel strongly that the husband should be present: if, for some reason, the wife did NOT want the father to be present during delivery even though he wanted to be there, is her opinion decisive in the matter? [/quote]

To answer your question, in that case the father should be allowed in the hospital even if she didn't want him there in the room. But I've never known a wife to date that wouldn't want her husband around during that time.

You said you wouldn't want it as a marker for future situations, but that's exactly what would happen even in a subconscious level. Would you take it personal if your significant other wasn't there for heart surgery or the like for you? Birth is risky and deaths do happen, and at the very least you should be concerned and on top of what's happening in the waiting room.

Btw-I've yet to receive from this post a good reason not to attend or wait in the hospital. [/quote]
