Re: Husband in the delivery room..
Maybe. Of course this varies with differnet hospitals and many times, the anesthesiologist’s themselves will allow or not allow the hubby to stay. I know in my hubby’s group, they’ll allow 1 person to stay when administering epidurals. But for c-sections, they make everyone leave while the mom is being prepped. He says its because they’ve dealt with too many situations where what I mentioned above happened.
I ASSUME that some places may allow the husband to stay throughout during emergencies b/c maybe they don’t want the mom more stressed by asking him to leave (plus I imagine things are moving way too fast anyway and they certainly don’t want to be blamed for having the hubby miss the baby’s birth for whatever reason).
