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?

I'm in the same boat, but I'm 33 weeks along so I don't have alot of time left to decide but my mom tells me not to let him in but there's a part of me that says let him . But he can't even show up to appointments anymore or check up on me , but if you don't feel comfortable with him in there don't let him last thing you want to do is stress out

Yea I'm not sure what happened.im not sure what she has to offer that I couldn't to make him want to be with her and not me I've just been praying about that. When I found out I asked him if he was still going to be there when baby Came and he said yes that that wasn't going to change. I haven't asked about the delivery room yet specifically, I thought it was to early. I kind of just wanted to prepare myself because anything could happen

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?

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(:

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.
