So, my husband is nervous for the upcoming delivery of our first child. He went online today and did some searching via Google. Nearly everything he found was regarding women NOT wanting their men in there with them. This boggles my mind! As I told him, he is the MOST important person to be in there with me... According to the stuff he has found, women feel like the men are "useless" and so they just don't want them in there.
Which brings me to the point of this post. I want to take a vote. How many of you think that your husband should be in there with you during delivery and had your husbands in there with you during delivery? What are your feelings on the topic? And if any of you didn't want him in there, can you explain to me why that is?
Thanks!

YES definately have your hubby in there, it's an experience you want to share together! How sad if the daddy wasn't there to hear the first cry of your new born baby! This experience will bring the two of you closer to a whole new level.. It's awesome!
i had both mine c-section, so things were a bit different for me. i'm glad ben was there, but i have to admit sometimes i was a bit annoyed when he was comfortably eating his lunch and watching tv, while i was painfully enduring some strong contractions on an ice only diet. all in all, i vote husbands should stay.. just tell him when to help and when to go get a snack.:)
See that is kind of what I thought. I was amazed that women wouldn't want their partner/husband there with them! I mean, yeah they will probably do something wrong and annoying, but they've been doing that for 9-months! lol
Even with his weak stomach, I am glad that my children's father was in the delivery room when they were born. If I had known what to do at the time, I would have just made sure he stayed at my head and held my and hand and talked to me. You may find you have to keep dad away from the "action."
I have been in the room with my wife for the deliveries of both my children. It was a life defining moment for me. He can always walk out if it gets to be too much, but I think he'll find himself so wrapped up in everything, he won't even be aware of anything else that might distract him.
