What is the view on siblings being present for labor? My son will be 6 1/2 come babies due date and with the right preparation I would love to have him come in with me.

My son will be 6 1/2 when bubs is due, is that too young? I would love to (with the right preparation of course) have him share in this huge moment in our lives.

Answer: Hi,
If your son is very well prepared and wants to be there then this is a really good idea. You will need to discuss this with your Maternity unit as some do have policies around this. You may also need a support person for him too.
Best wishes,
Alex.
