I was reading the day's Guardian when I came across this story that talked about fathers who could not present themselves at the time of the birth of their babies. I think it should be decided by the mother to have her husband around or not. Actually it's a really private affair between the lady and her doctor...but still if a woman wants her husband to actually see his baby coming into this world, then she should allow him to go ahead.

It is his baby...he'll thank you the entire life for making him a part of such personal moments of her. It will be a lifetime experience for him...that will infuse him will all the more love and respect for you, and will definitely enrich your relationship all the more. Though it would be a difficult sight for him, but still he'll be satisfied that he was there when a part of his own self was entering this world and most importantly he'll be happy for the fact that he was there when you needed him the most.
Give this opportunity to your husband and trust me you'll cherish the thought of welcoming your baby together in this world.
That was what I think on the matter...what would you do if you are given a choice of allowing your husband to be with you during the birth of your baby?
