I think that what Woogie meant is that it is ridiculous to say that ANYONE other than the mother 'delivered' the baby. She went through labor and delivery, she dealt with the pain, she pushed. The most anyone else can do is stand there and maybe catch. Other than interventions such as forceps and vacuum. The mom had natural birth at home and the dad is the one being congratulated? But I'm sure that the actual dad is not going around saying he delivered his son. Since they were planning a homebirth I'll bet he knows better!
