Lots of hospitals don't allow anyone except the mother to be in the operation theatre

They normally allow the surgeon, anaesthetist, midwife, scrub staff, anaesthetic assistant and baby in there too

Although every hospital I’ve worked in routinely allows a birth partner in there unless it’s a GA section or a big emergency

Well, I was hoping they’d allow the baby to be there in all cases of delivery 🤣

Technically, the goal is to get the baby out of there.
