My husband was in the labor and delivery room with me. He got to see the whole ';shabang';. Quite nasty if you ask me, it's not like I really wanted him to see that certain parts of me could stretch that far. He also got to cut the umbilical cord. He watched ';everything'; from the time I got into the bed until I got to get up and take a bath afterwards. I was allowed 2 people in the room with me. I chose my husband and my sister, she was a fantastic help with holding my legs for me while I pushed. This kept my husband up at my face so he could help with the breathing and pushing.Did you ladies have your husband's next to you in the labor room during your pregnancy?
Yes. . .and some hospitals allow you more people up to a certain amount and others have not limit to the number of people in the room. You just need to contact the hospital to see what rules they have in place.
My baby is not due until next month, but I do plan on having my husband right by my side the entire time.
My brother was right there when his baby was born. Ages ago when my grandmother was having babies, the men would wait out in the waiting rooms and smoke with the other men while the baby was delivered. Time has changed so much!
We have 4 kids, all born vaginally with no drugs. My husband was right there with me throughout the entire labor, delivery, and stayed with me in the hospital after the births. Our oldest daughter and her husband have a 4 month old son. My son-in-law stayed with my daughter throughout her labor even when it stalled and she still hadn't delivered 24 hours after her water broke. They had to do a c-section and my son-in-law stayed by my daughter's side throughout the whole surgery, only leaving her briefly while they were stitching her so he could come and tell the family in the waiting room that the baby had arrived and they were both doing OK. Many husbands stay with their wives and if they don't you can have another support person to stay with you.
My husband, mom, and mother-in-law were all in the room with me ...my mom and mother-in-law grabbed a leg and held it up while my husband just stood there in amazement....lol
You can pretty much have whoever you want in there, as long as there are no complications with the labor and delivery. I had my bf (the father) and my mom, and to be honest my mom was more of a comfort than my bf! Besides, he had to leave a couple of times, while my mom was right by my side the whole time.
it's allowed. my husband wasn't there for the 1 st but my mom and his mom were and then for #2 he had no choice but be there everything happened so quickly no one else had time to get there. and now i am 23 weeks and i hope to have him there this time as well.
Yes! My Fiance held a leg, too.
Funny story -- my brother's wife just had a c-section today. (Yeah - healthy baby girl). They had put up a little drape so my brtoerh and sister in law could not really see what was happening (I guess c-sections are not too easy to watch). Well, when the baby came out she didnt cry so my sister-in-law was scared and told my brother to look. Just as he looked, the baby cried so she knew the baby was ok. But too late, my brother got a glipse of the c-section, turned ghost white, and fainted. Besdies the nurse, holding the baby, all the medical staff had to tend to my brother.





So, yes, IF YOU WANT THEM THERE, your husband can be in the room.
Yes they can be there. Times have changed. I was surprised to learn that when my husband and his brother were born (1972 and 1975 respectively) their father was not allowed in the delivery room. Even more unbelievable is that he dropped my MIL off at the hospital and went to work!


My husband was there with me the whole time.
YEP he was with me the whole time and at the risk of sounding dumb i dont know if i could have done it (camly anyway) without him, he was so supportive and right there holding my hand the whole time the dr. acutally encouraged him to stay with me as much as possible, after 12 hours of labor, I had to end up having a c-section and they even allowed him with me then
Yes, they can be there during the DELIVERY if the wife wants them there and they want to be there. My second husband faints at the sight of blood, so I told the nurses and doctor, everyone who asked me, ';Don't you want your husband here?';, NO. He will pass out and then you'll have an extra person to deal with.





But he did get to carry our baby to the nursery after her first bath.
It is allowed. I am due in February and will have my husband and my mom in with me.
Sure did. Recording, supporting, and cutting umbilical cord.
Yes husbands are allowed in the delivery room during labor and delivery... My husband was by my side the whole time, and when the baby was born was suppose to cut the cord but because she came so fast, and wasnt looking to active the doctor cut the cord and rushed her to the nurses.. But she was nice enough to leave enough of the cord he was able to cut the remaining piece off.. I am now almost 32 weeks with #2 and he is going to be in the room with me this time as well, and hopefully gets to actually cut the cord..
Yes they are allowed in the room with you, unless your like me and have to have an emergency c-section where they knock you out and then they are not allowed in.
Most people have their husband or significant other next to them during delivery. They usually only kick out husbands for emergency [ like baby in distress ] C sections.


I told my husband if he wasn't going to be there for the delivery, he wouldn't be at the conception either.
yep, it's allowed. My husband was with me during both of our children's births
Husbands are allowed in delivery room for natural birth and C-Section while the mother is awake only. For operation (C-Section) with mother completely out, no. My husband was not allowed in room. I wanted him with me, but for safety and infection reducing sake, it wasn't allowed.
Oh yes, he was there. You don't think I was going to let him get out of THAT, do ya? :-)





Yes, hubbies are allowed into the delivery room these days. In fact, with my last daughter, my husband, mom, and best friend were all in the room. It was like a party! lol. My hubby was quite helpful and considerate during my labors. I don't know what I'd have done without him.
Oh yes, it's definitely allowed. Hospitals have their own regulations about how many people may be in the room, but I'm sure that all of them let at least one other person be in there with the mother.
yes.








its better to have your baby at home, its more relaxing and you dont have everybody around you. Just your husband, midwife and anybody else you want.
