On "Jenna & Friends," hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Dwyane Wade addressed a viewer's dilemma about childbirth etiquette. A viewer, Tim, sought advice about whether his mother should be in the delivery room during the birth of his and his wife’s first child. Jenna firmly asserted that the decision should rest with the birthing mother, emphasizing her vulnerability during childbirth. This sentiment was echoed by family communications expert Dr. Sylvia L. Mikucki-Enyart, who highlighted that the wishes of the mother should surpass all others in such an intimate scenario.
"Here's the thing, Tim. You're not the one having the baby. Your wife is giving birth. You don't get to decide who's in that room."
"Childbirth is a physically and emotionally vulnerable time... only one of them will be naked, exposed, and pushing a human out of their body - and that person's wishes supersede everyone else's."
