Why is your anecdotal knowledge of the handful of fathers you know and how they behaved in the delivery room more valid or accurate than the repeated daily observations of someone who works in labor and delivery on a daily basis, seeing multiple patients a day, presumably for years?

That’s also anecdotal.

Wow you're dumb. Comparing the difference in anecdotes between someone with say ten at most versus someone whose job it is involves them seeing multiple cases a day? "Hurr durr dey both anecdote"

They’re absolutely both anecdotes, and neither of them reflect statistical reality. Sorry.

Statistics do show that most fathers are present at the birth these days. It’s a large cultural shift from decades ago when most were not present.

Absolutely. It’s why one nurse’s anecdotal evidence means absolutely nothing in the face of the truth.

Literally a couple quick Google searches show that fathers are increasingly present at childbirth but ignorance do be more funner.
