Hi again, I thought I had cleared the air on this.
I must stress that men not being allowed in the delivery room is not of my opinion and I reread and reread and I have not said this.
I don’t know how old your grandparents are but you are correct in saying that just because they may have had a different view at the time it doesn’t make it correct, maybe they have changed.
I wasn’t gonna share this but my grandparents are OLD if my grandpa was alive he would be 93 and my granny who is still here is 88, my youngest aunt is 51 and again yes my granny told us he was there for the specific birth of that girl when they moved to a bigger town.
Also in the generation before my aunt they didn’t use the word pregnant they used expecting and women wore super long dresses and coats some such as Queen Elizabeth II didn’t even appear in public, she only made a brief public appearance when she was pregnant with Edward and
bleep a long coat but we could see she was clearly pregnant but hey that was 1964 so things were getting relaxed and Grace Kelly covered her tummy with a handbag when she was pregnant with Caroline and those bags were reproduced and became known as Grace Kelly’s bag people at that time thought that everyone would know they had sex which is obvious, anyway I digress.
If you and your mates had positive experiences that’s great but not everyone can handle this and those people would probably like some respect too regardless of their age and situation.
I have some sources here and I am not making this up.

In communist Poland
Poland and Texas have comparable populations, conservative governments and stringent anti-abortion policies. But they differ significantly in how health care is delivered for women — and in the role they allow midwives to play in the childbirth process.

I think the problem with my post is that I did not elaborate on the reasons why some people thought what they thought and why some men currently kind of think the way they do and would not want to be present during childbirth some are valid others are immature.
