To be or not to be present at birth?

The only condition for the partner to be present at the birth is that they bring with them to the maternity ward a certificate of health.

Verification must be done 7-10 days before the appointment.

Obstetricians emphasize that a large number of fathers faint at the bedside. The number of those who enter the delivery room without fear is very small, but this happens, as with everyone, the more you know - the less you fear.

You should definitely discuss being present during the birth with your partner, but don't pressure them. Try to understand why your wife doesn't want you to be present, or vice versa.

Maybe your wife thinks you'll panic and get angry, or maybe she's afraid you won't want to have sex with her anymore. The important thing is to do what you think is best for both of you, but you should talk about it with your wife. Also, keep in mind that couples are recommended to attend psychophysical preparation schools for childbirth, where both parents can develop a sense of what they will be doing with their baby.
