Although some women may feel reassured by having their partners in the delivery room, I suspect a large majority would rather not have their partner present. I found that having my husband in the delivery room made me anxious and caused repeatedly distracted. My husband and I discussed our sons birth afterward and I was surprised to learn that he felt very helpless as he watched me labouring, he also felt that witnessing the delivery affected him with regards to our sexual relationship. Couples must discuss, prior to the birth, all of the implications of having or not having the partner in the room. I think some women feel obligated to have their partner, or anyone else for that matter, in the room for the birth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4181472671648618071.post-1268681105400005632012-03-25T23:30:22.928+01:002012-03-25T23:30:22.928+01:00I agree that taking things out of context can lead...I agree that taking things out of context can lead to misinterpretation, which is why I provided a link in this blog post to the full Telegraph article.
