For an account of how men moved from hospital waiting rooms into labor and delivery rooms in the United States, please see my new book, Make Room for Daddy: The Journey from Waiting Room to Birthing Room. Some men who thought they didn’t want to be there came to appreciate their role, others wished they hadn’t been there. Lots of good stories to think about. Thanks, Judith Walzer Leavitt

this is not insinuation. it happens everywhere in the world and mostly africa particularly Nigeria. in most cases, the reason why the husband is asked to be in the labour while the wife is delivering, is because sometimes the woman may not be able to deliver successfully without seeing the man that impregnated her. Here in Nigeria we some times believe that it is a spiritual attack for the woman not to deliver at the right time or successfully, while seeing her husband will open the way. Some doctors may even ask the man to have emergency sexual intercorse with his heavilly pregnant wife before she would be able to deliver easily and successfully.
