I have been in the delivery room for all three of my children. It was such a cool experience, I'm glad I didn't miss it. Since my wife was having a c-section and was heavily sedated, I was the first parent the children were held by. From her womb to my arms, its was truly amazing. It was kind of gross because they were covered in slim, but still, they are so precious and tiny when first born. But they calmed down as soon as they came to my arms. I hated to have to put them down to have them cleaned off.
I was present at all 6 of my children's' births. The most marvelous experience I could ever imagine.
I highly recommend it to all men.
And, since I grew up on dairy farms, I knew, in some ways, what to expect (regarding slime, blood, placenta, etc.).
