What kind of country do you live in where that's okay? Or even if not okay, common...

Granted I'm no father yet but my girlfriend means too much to me to be able to abandon her if she needs me by her side normally, let alone during childbirth

Yeah… I know a labor a delivery nurse who says this is actually common…. That or bringing a whole ass video game console or both. I took a week off from work to help my wife after our kids birth and got asked if my vagina healed when I returned to work. Come to find out most of them never changed a diaper. Eye opening.

"common" = 1 in 20 is a shit dad and they forget about the other 19 who are great dads because it isn't as fun to talk about.
