I say jump at the chance to be in the delivery room. That is such a special, brief, eternally memorable period that you will be able to tell your child that you were a part of.
DD's bmom invited DH and myself to be in the delivery room, and even said that we could film the birth! DH is kind of squeamish when it comes to blood and the like, but decided to suck it up this one time. After much hesitation, and assurances that she really meant it, we opted to film the delivery. DD's bgrandmom held the DVD recorder during the birth, and caught it all on film, including us cutting the cord together.
I can't tell you how much of an impact that experience of seeing DD being born had - and still has - on us. Don't pass on the chance if it is offered!
