who said men aren't allowed in the labor room??? At least at Al-Ahli hospital they allowed.. My sister-in-law delivered recently and my brother was with her holding her hand in the labor room.. He actually saw the baby coming out.. He had tears in his eyes when he came out of the labor room.. He always loved his wife but has starting respecting and appreciating her even more since he saw that.. Not only that, he has really started to value our mother because now he knows what our mother had gone thru to bring him into this world.. Ever man should see his wife deliver his baby.. It would change his entire perception about women.. This goes especially for the MCP's
