Delivery room companion

Definitely a yay! I personally think it sets a precedence for the rest of your lives as partners in parenthood. Having my husband in the delivery room makes it clear that we are responsible for this little one and that decisions to be made regarding his/her well being is in our hands. Although I wouldn't oppose it necessarily, I feel that having my mum or sister in the delivery room might give way to their opinions having a stronger impact on how I raise my children, as oppose to shared decision I make with my husband.
