For those who already have kids what did they do while you were in labour ?

I am having an elective c/section and want Kimberley to be at the hospital for after the birth so she understands and is included in what is going on. DH will be with her as he will not come in with me will i am having the c/section.
Also it depends if the hospital will allow this also.

Does this sound okay to have her at the hospital waiting ?
