My Dad was at all our births. There are 5 of us, born from 1957 through to 1971. My oldest brother and then the twins were born at home. (They weren't aware it was twins till the nurse said "I think there may be another one in there" LOL!) My Dad helped out with those, which was "frowned upon" apparently, but he stuck his guns.

I was born in a hospital (prem) and my Dad was there.

And then my younger brother was born in hospital (Mum had pre-eclampsia with him), and my Dad was there too.

I remember asking him how he felt about watching all of his children being doen, and he indiated that whilst he didn't find it earthmoving, he was glad to be of help, and that it was "technically interesting". (Not a man of much romance!)
