Dad in delivery room?

[VeroRT]

Different question but has anyone considered having their father in the delivery room? My dad is my rock and my best friend and was diagnosed with terminal cancer just after we found out we were expecting. I haven't actually spoke to him about it because I'm still on the fence and I'm not even sure he could handle it (he's got a really bad but hilarious stomach when it comes to puking, diapers etc). I just don't know how long he'll be around (he was given 1-2 years) but is holding up exceptionally well and I'm thinking this could be a memory, bonding experience and special time. I haven't decided if I'm fully comfortable with it yet but any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

My dad's going to be in the waiting room with my son. Just my mom and husband in the room. My little sister is bugging though. But I think it would be very special. Good to all of you and yours families.

It's great to see you young women with such a great relationship with your dads. My dad is super sick but we are not that close at all. He probably won't even come up to the hospital after my daughter is born sooo I will have to bring her to him. Personally if you want your daddy in there you should let him know. Birth is a beautiful thing.

Yelp, I told my daddy if no one else is there he better be the one holding my.hand!  I'm a complete daddy's girl and this is his first grand so there wasn't any questions on whether or not he was gonna be in there!

My father wants to be in the delivery tom with me and my husband but i'm not sure either. i've never spent a lot of time with him but he also is given 1-2 years do to multiple organ failure that just can't be fixed in time. It would be a huge memory for them, but a you've said it's a tough decision. Honestly I would have a talk with him and all him if he wants to and if he can handle it. Have a discussion and maybe it can sway your choice.
