delivery room question

Please no negative comments
Me and the father are not together in only 23 weeks along but when time comes for baby to join us in the world, if his father wants to be in the labor and delivery room when he's coming, since he's the father is it like his right to be in there? I'm asking because I'm not sure how I'll feel but what if I don't feel comfortable with him being there since we're not together and he's committed himself to someone else?

Its your delivery and you need to do whats right for you. You can always let him in early on and see how you go. You never know he may be an amazing support for you and if not you can ask you'r midwife to get him to leave.

I think I will talk to her about it. I don't want him to feel like I'm keeping him from something that involves baby. Maybe he won't even be there. I felt like invite was to early to ask if he'd want to be in there but maybe invite should ask? I'm thinking way ahead i know, thank you for all the advice and support :)

I wouldn't have him at the hospital  or delivery room with me.   If he committed himself to another females then that's where he needs to be with is her the night of your delivery . If he wasn't with you during pregnancy to help out then he doesn't need to be with you In labor . I'm a pretty straight forward person who isn't going to beat around the bush with you.

If I were you I'd make it so he wasn't there while your giving birth but could come an hour after you did. That way you don't get stressed out during labor while he's there and you getting bonding time with your little one(:

Do you know how he feels about it? What if he would be uncomfortable being there since you guys aren't together anymore. This is a really intimate moment, like being there for your labor seems unnecessary. But he might want to meet the baby on your last day at the hospital or something.
I can't imagine dating someone new so soon after getting a girl pregnant so its an awkward situation for all involved. Has he expressed interest in being there for his baby?
