Sky News are talking about a TV host who doesn't want to be there for the birth of child.
When I was having babies, the idea of the father being in the birthing room was a novelty. My kids' dad said he didn't want to be there, too much information he didn't want to share.
What do the rest of you feel about it. Is it an imperative, or are there other dads who'd rather not have that image in their head.
My DH says no, he'd rather not. He also doesn't want to view dead bodies of loved ones, also not an image he wants in his head. How about the rest of you? What are the advantages of the dad being there? Is there a social advantage? Or is it just a fad?
(I hope this is the right forum for this, otherwise move it if it isn't).
