Re: Saudi - can the hubby be present at childbirth?
Hi, silly question,
my wife and I will be in Riyadh at the time when the delivery is due (mid-December) and we both wanted originally that I be present at the birth. Now though, because I have accepted an offer to go to Saudi (with her indoors), I'm a tad skeptical about whether or not the Saudis allow this.
Anybody here have any experience in this respect?

but my sister inlaw was present. so don't worry you will get to participate.
I hope you get a healthy baby & congrats.

the husband should be in a bar somewhere waiting to light up a cigar. so it this case he'll have to go to Bahrain or Dubai and await the good news.

Thanks all...I'm looking forward to this, after all the practising that we did to get this far 
I'm cuffed that my wife is going to have something to keep her busy too and keep the boredom away in Riyadh
