In the UK, debate about fathers' presence during the birth of their baby by normal birth is largely resolved. Fathers' attendance during caesarean section, both routine and emergency, remains controversial. This article draws upon research evidence professional insights and the authors' personal life experiences to contribute to the debate about the presence of fathers during caesarean births with general anaesthetic. We argue that the widespread exclusion of fathers in these circumstances may be contrary to both parents' wishes, and clinicians should consider offering women the choice of a nominated support person. Such a person can help the mother to fill in the missing pieces of the birth experience. Moreover, where this person is the baby's father, there may be additional familial benefits for his transition to parenthood. Further research is warranted into the presence of fathers during births that are clinically problematic.
在英国，关于自然分娩时父亲陪产的争论在很大程度上已得到解决。而对于剖宫产（包括常规剖宫产和急诊剖宫产）时父亲是否陪产，仍存在争议。本文借鉴研究证据、专业见解以及作者的个人生活经历，为关于全身麻醉下剖宫产时父亲陪产的争论提供参考。我们认为，在这种情况下普遍禁止父亲陪产可能违背父母双方的意愿，临床医生应考虑给予女性选择指定陪产人员的权利。这样一个人可以帮助母亲填补分娩经历中的缺失部分。此外，如果这个人是婴儿的父亲，这可能会给他向父亲角色的转变带来额外的家庭益处。对于临床情况复杂的分娩中父亲陪产的情况，有必要进行进一步研究。
