I imagine. Since I have not been there.

My grandmother told me that when she was giving birth, they would sedate the mother for deliveries.
My mom couldn't have my dad in the room.
It wasn't the delivery room that was the heart of the matter for me, by now fathers get to be present. It was in the room after, where he stayed overnight. It was our first child afterall. That's where the sense of unwelcome came from.
