I know it is a good idea because i am a nurse and i have seen Fathers shedding tears at witnessing the delivery of the child.

Pregnancy is a period in a woman's life that is not easy for any woman and right up to delivery of the baby, these mothers need support all the way. Many men too fail to realise just how painful the birth process is and the agony their wives go through in that delivery room. So, putting them there ebables them to see what is involved and this has made so many men respect and love their wives even more.

Also, the primary reason the men is to give psychological support to their wives. They know just the right words to say to give strength to their wives and that really helps to calm some aggitating women during the birth process. Some of them become so frustrated and vexed that nothing the midwife says matters and they even resort to disobeying the orders of the midwife. In such cases, you need to be there to see their husbands play the magic with words of pampering and petting.

Some men also at first resist family planning no matter how you explain the risks involved for a woman having multiple children or so but many of them have been forced to change their minds after witnessing just one delivery.

So i will say the act should be encouraged. The truth is, many men who have witnessed the delivery of a baby at one time have been changed in more positive ways than you can imagine. Some have stopped hitting their wives, they now give their wives a lot of respect and appreciate them, it has changed their thoughts on family planning, it has brought the family even closer and strengthen their bond.

So i will say this activity should be encouraged. Plus it is so hilarious seeing some of the men pass out at the sight of a delivery. Hahahhahhaa.
