Obviously I am thinking WAY ahead here but I am curious...

Provided that there are no complications would you or have you let your DH/DP/DF "catch" or deliver your baby? Do hospitals generally welcome father participation to this extent? Would you mind having your DH "down there" at that moment?

I think it would be a beautiful way to include DH in the birth aside from just cutting the cord. I know my DH would be really comfortable with this level of involvement and would love to be hands on with our birthing experience.

Would love to hear anyone's opinion on this.
