Delivery room companion

Depends on the couple. My mom didn't want my dad in the room during any of the deliveries because she knows he'll annoy her even though he's trying to encourage her. A girlfriend of mine rather not have her husband in the room too because she knew her husband is squeamish and I quote her, "don't need him remembering a baby's head everytime we try to be intimate". Haha. If it was me, I'd be fine with him in the room. It'll be a great (and messy) experience and I wouldn't wanna share it with anyone else. That being said, I'll have ground rules for him when he's in there like no over the top encouragements, no freaking out and cheesy lines. Would rather him just be there to hold my hand while I do the work ☺
