Friend doesn't want her ex in the delivery room, but I think she's being ridiculous. Thoughts? (Page 2)

Question

I just got off the phone with a friend who is due any day now to give birth to a baby boy. It is her first child and his, as well. However, she told me she doesn't want him the delivery room because he hasn't been there during the last half of the pregnancy when they broke up. I don't really know why he hasn't been there because she didn't tell me and I didn't think to ask. But she said he doesn't deserve to be in there since he wasn't interested most of her pregnancy and he can't now decide that he's interested. I told her that was a dumb reason and she got mad at me. She said having him there would stress her out, and I don't buy that. I told her I think she doesn't want him in there because they aren't together anymore. She denies it and got more angry.  From what I understand, they broke up because they were just arguing too much all the time and he couldn't take it anymore. I THINK he left her, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Anyway, she doesn't want him in there, and I think it's because she's still hurt that he walked out because she cries about him a lot and she's told me before that she misses him. I still don't think that's a good reason to bar him from the birth of his first child, though. She actually registered his name with the hospital to make sure he could not come to the delivery room. Is there any way to convince her this is a stupid decision and she'll regret it eventually? I know she still has feelings for him. I'm not sure if he feels the same about her, but I think this would make or break any hope of them getting back together. I know technically that it's really none of my business, but I really do think she'll regret this decision eventually and I'm concerned that she won't be able to handle the backlash.

She has every right to decide who gets to be there with. Anyone who could stress her out shouldn't be in the room. Support her decision and respect it.

in my opinion he should be allowed there because at the end of the day, it's his child still.

I can't blame her at all, and from your previous talks, i guess you talking with her is not going to fix situation.

I don't really know what to say, you don't walk out on a pregnant girlfriend but a father should see his child being born
