Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call.
The house was very, very dark, so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-year-old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her Mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.
Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked.
Heidi pushed and pushed, and after a little while Connor was born.
The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry.
The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-year old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.
Kathleen quickly responded,
"He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place.........
smack his @ss again!"

I think it depends on the age of the child, and how well the child can understand things. A three year old would probably be able to understand that mommy was having a baby, but still find it scary to see mommy in pain. The child then might have misconceptions of the new baby (he hurt my mom, i don't like him). My step-kids came to the hospital after the birth of their half sister and they both looked like they were terrified... and they didn't witness the birth, they just saw how I looked afterwards and it scared the sh*t outta them! I really don't think L&D units are appropriate places for kids anyhow...lots of childhood illness are very dangerous for pregnant women, so most units won't even let kids back there. Plus I think it would be a distraction to all parties involved... mom might not push effectively because their 5 year old decided to throw a tantrum, dad could be distracted by trying to keep little hands off the equipment, and therefore not provide the support his significant other needs. If it were my child, I would have to assess how well I thought the kid could handle it (i.e. how do they respond when a family member is in pain, how do they deal with the sight of body fluids etc) and if I thought they could handle it, I would leave the choice up to them. If they chose to witness a birth, I would probably do some education about the mechanics of it and probably show a video to make sure they new what they were getting into. In general though, most kids are not ready for this... heck, most dads aren't ready for it!!! I've seen lots of men hit the ground!

Although I would not want my kids to watch.
Unless they really wanted too...
