I truely, firmly, with alllll my heart believe that men do NOT belong in the delivery room. It is only recently that it has become the thing to do..and half the time it is women holding a gun to their head forcing them to take part in their fantasy of the "miracle of life" let me tell you..having a baby is ####ing disgusting. there is nothing miraculous, pretty, or special about it no matter what hippie feminists want to sell you. I also do not get the trend of having everyone and their mother in the room with you..siblings, parents, neighbors, the guy in the cube down the hall..for heaven's sake they can visit with you once your vagina is sewn up and the baby has the amniotic fluid sucked from its nose. Doesn't make birthing a brand new human any less exciting if they don't get to be involved in all the gory disgusting details.
Men and everyone else belong in the waiting room handing out cigars like God intended.
