well she might... We were asked in both our matches to be there. For DD, we were the only support for her the entire time. In fact, we spent much of the afternoon caring for Bug as well as Bug's two older siblings while Bug's First MOm rested. It was quite a day, to say the least. I am grateful for the experience, don't get me wrong. BUT, it may not be what the expecting mother wants. Be prepared for that. And I wouldn't ever see it as a deal breaker.
With DS, we were also invited to be at the delivery and were called when V went into labor. However, it was over six hours in a rainstorm and we didn't make it. Sad, because she really needed some support as well. Just remember that each situation is unique...
