I believe the comment made by Kitty is dead on. For centuries men were kept from seeing the birth of their children, kings included. During war when men see other wounded companions in agony , they often get post traumatic stress. This probably occurs on a sub-conscious level seeing the agony of their wives giving birth. I've had several friends confide in me that they never enjoyed intimacy as much with either their wives or girlfriends after seeing them birth. Maybe the "ancients" weren't as dumb about life as we've presumed them to be by keeping the men blind to the end of gestation.

This couple was not married. So, it is a no-brainer.....the punk has no rights that the girl does not give him. As a husband things are kinda different....but as a chump that bailed out on the gal he got in trouble..NOTHING is his right. Who cares about his feelings? He did not marry the girl and take on the responsibilites of parent in fact. He could just as easy have walked in off the street. She is the single parent for the baby, until she gives it away or whatever... the clown that knocked her up has no standing. But, if she can drag his tail into a court of law for paternity support great. That does not put him in the delivery room.. Sorry Charlie, you had your chance and blew it.

In most and ideal situations it's great to have dad there, but sometimes not. Some men can be controlling or on edge, causing extreme stress. Believe me, more stress in not what a woman needs while in labor. I was with a friend of mine at delivery and her husband was there too. They weren't really getting along so good, but he insisted on being there. He wouldn't leave, but kept looking at his watch, asking how much longer it was going to take about every 20 minutes. My friend had had 2 easy births before - neither over 12 hours. Well, after being so stressed by his attitude, spending most of the day in tears, the Dr. couldn't get her labor to progress and she ended with a C-section, subsequent infection, and emergency hysterectomy 3 weeks later. Men aren't the ones going through the physical birth ramifications, so need to understanding of what a woman goes through. When going through the birth process, women shouldn't be forced into situations like this.

oh good grief, there is nothing romantic or fun about being in the delivery room. it's noisy, bloody and painful....................why would you want your lover to see you stretched out on a rack like that, bellowing your head off and sweating like a piggy? men tend to faint in the delivery room...it's not MTV or a movie, wait outside like a gent.

I agree with KathyL. The couple was not together and in situations of that type the woman should have every right to decide who should stay and who should leave.

A father starts bonding with his child at the moment the pregnancy is discovered. A man feels every emotion conceivable during the pregnancy, thinking about the present and future. The bonding at delivery can't be adequately expressed in words. These first two stages solidify the base of the final bonding that will occur over the life of his child.
Does this so-called judge not understand that like in any structure, it is the construction of the base upon which the structure is built that determines its strength?

Let me get this straight. We have no say whether a woman gets an abortion. If she wants us out of the delivery room she can do that. BUT if we don't want the kid it doesn't matter, we still have a financial obligation. No way. Ladies, if you want child support, as you should, then 50% of all decisions regarding the child are ours. The child is 50% us.

I do not agree with this decision. The father, and the child, are both being deprived of a once in a life time experience out of this woman's bitterness. A child needs both parents. Having both parents present at birth helps kick start that bond. When will our court system and government get serious about equality of both genders?
KathyL - 10 years ago
You are all wrong. This couple was not together and we don't know why. My fiancee dumped me when I was pregnant and the last thing I would have wanted is him in the delivery room. Giving birth is stressful enough without having to deal with an ex. He can wait in the waiting room with everyone else.

Bet the judge did not exclude the father from having to pay for it all, from delivery through college.

This is wrong, The father should be able to be there for the birth, with only one exception, if the father has committed a crime against the woman and belongs in jail, perhaps he should not be there, but if the father is not a criminal, he deserves to be there.

This is so wrong. So it's ok for the father to have to pay for the child for the next 18 years, but not be apart of one of the single most important day of the child's life.

This is wrong. Women are allowed in men's locker rooms. Is this not a privacy issue? The father should have the right to see this miracle.

I believe that the father should not be prevented from seeing his child come into this world. Is a precious moment,a once in a life time experience for both parents. Not all deliveries are the same in a women's life.
