I don't see anything inherently wrong with this.

Not sure why she would want her friends and her kids present. Those poor kids.

[Nuttmeg]

No!! I can see having a friend or two and a dula for support. This is not a party. I hope they don't take pictures or videos.

Aww the poor kids that have wacky parents that expose them to raw childbirth, What an upsetting thing it is for them to see mom in so much pain. Very scary. What on earth has come to todays society and their priorities? Wow!

I think the decision to have children present atthe birth of a child is a Personal one.  All though human history, people have lived in one room houses and children were present for births.

I was there for my daughter who had a natural delivery....no meds. She did not scream or shriek and it wasn't scary.  Once the birth was taking place, there were so many medical staff workers present, that there was very little room to view the business end of the birth.

I stood by my daughter's side during the actual birth and did witness the delivery. It wasn't gross at all.

A no from me too....

I had heard they were divorcing, but I wonder why she is barring him from the delivery...

Its not for me to say either, as I have read other posts that say that. But, one thing that would concern me is what if something were to happen and there were to be a problem? And these small children are in there and they may not understand.

I'm in my 60's and wouldn't want to see it let alone see it as a child. I couldn't even watch the emergency child birth film when I was in high school. Birth is not pretty.

I doubt very much if the 3 year old will remember the birth, but if the kids don't freak out when they see what the deal is, I think it's ok. I know when I was small I was afraid of everything and a scene like that would have messed me up big time.
