Grandfather in delivery room?

Sounds as though there are SOME that need to Mind-Their-Own-Business....if your daughter wanted you there and you wanted and needed to be there...then WHO exactly was it hurting...it sounds as though you have a close..warm and loving relationship with your daughter and that is ALL that counts...No Worries!

It's only crazy if you invited yourself into the delivery room without the mother or father asking you to be there. A baby's delivery is a personal time for the parents, they are entitled to choose whoever they want to be in there. If they didn't ask you to be there, you have no right to position yourself there like you deserve it. You didn't mention if your daughter is married or has a partner that was also there. You are right that you should be a good father in every way possible, but the boundaries change once your daughter is an adult and has her own partner...you aren't the main man in her life anymore, so her husband and her have the right to decide what level of involvement other family members have for these type of things.

If your daughter had no problem with you being there and it wasn't a perverted thing, and you were truly in your heart there to support your daughter then forget what other people think and enjoy your grandchild. Everyone has an opinion and you since to have been where you needed to be.

My dad almost ended up having tobe there formy first child birth because my husband was coming in from sea duty. I would have appreciated it greatly because childbirth is not something one should have to do alone and if I had to have anyone I would hope it would be my parent. Those who are judging you must be perverted. Forget them and continue to love on your daughter and your grandchild and know that you shared in a special moment for your daughter and your grandchild.

I commend you Know that I am a nurse and my goal is midwifery.

So tell her that. the main considered necessary element is which you're feeling as comfortable as achieveable (somewhat conversing, decrease than the circumstances). it incredibly is unquestionably an intimate 2nd, to assert the least, with your genitals splayed out and on exhibit for the international to work out. i do no longer see the could have a crowd in there at that distinctive 2nd, and in case you sense an identical way, you're able to make your thoughts commonplace. i'm surprised on the style of mothers and mothers in-regulation presently who seem to sense like they're entitled to be in the transport room. I doubt a single one in all them had the different kinfolk contemporary whilst they gave delivery.

As long as the person delivering the baby was ok with it..then I say that's great!! Personally, I would not want any male relative of mine in the delivery room!LOL...Only my ex-hubby (hubby at the time) was in the delivery room with me when I had my daughter!If your daughter was okay with it then who cares what everyone else thinks? Don't worry about them!!! you were being a supportive grandfather!! Good for you!!! Kudos!!

My dad was there for my dd1's birth...and there was no curtain, so he saw everything, lol. He also wasn't able to come to my sister's son's birth, so it was really important to him.

He helped me through my conctractions when my hubby was getting the car ready...if my dad wasn't their I would have been left alone and I DID NOT want that...

My dad can't make it to my dd2's birth but my sister willl be there this time...she's a massage therapist so I'll definitely be putting her to work, lol.

Also since my parents can't be there and my mom has never been to any of her grandchildren's births, we plan to video tape and take pictures...tasteful of course, nothing graphic...don't want to scare any kids that will be watching, lol.

It is entirely up to the person having the baby! Me, I ONLY wanted my husband in the delivery room. I have friends that have had their moms, sisters, dads, friends, etc. there for the birth.

as long as it was your daughter's decision! i invited my father and he respectfully stayed by my head while i pushed. Held my head up and all so he was able to be a part of the delivery. i do believe that is being a good father to your daughter.

Who is and isn't in the delivery room is a personal choice of the woman giving birth. No one else has a say. If she feels comfortable with you being there, fine. If she says no, you need to respect her decision.

I wouldnt have mine or my partners dad in there no way! but every family is different. But no way if theres no curtain or anything to stop you seeing, thats just wrong! So no I think its not right, but if the girl doesnt mind????
