Not at all like that here. All 4 local hospitals have you deliver in a birthing room and then after you and baby are moved to a private room where DH is allowed to stay over. I Some even have natural birthing suites where you deliver and stay in room with private facilities (mine even has room service, and beds are queen size and adjustable!). All checkups are done in room. Hoping I can deliver there again. If you have a section, then baby is taken away for a bit to check vitals, but partner can go with.
