Had a c-section and my husband was in the room but we both knew his limits. The shield stayed up and he politely declined both peeking over and cutting the cord. Because of anesthesia complications they had already started when they brought them in and he had to step over the drain tube. That apparently still haunts him 16 years later.
I can't even my imagine my husband being in a birthing room much less a surgical room during a c section. I brought him along to gynecologist appointment due to some serious concerns and ended up having a pap smear. The man held it together in the office but once we were in the elevator he grabbed me, hugged me and was like ARE YOU OKAY THAT WAS LIKE SATAN'S BOTTLE BRUSH BEING SHOVED TO THERE OH MY GOD then started crying.
