Men should stay away from childbirth

The father of my children was present at their births. It was fine. He was fine. I was (relatively!) fine. But more important was that the same community midwife cared for me through both pregnancies, and turned up at the hospital to deliver my children at the crucial moment. If I had to rewind and choose between her and my husband being at the births - the midwife would win every time, she was brilliant, and most importantly gave me confidence!
There should be an increase in the community midwife programme, not cuts!
