I question if now allowing the father in like that would be at all common. I doubt negative scenarios like this was common in any way (even if they have happened before) and wanting to be in the room seems like a probably universal want from both sides
AFAIK in northern Europe the change happened around the 1970's-1980's. Most millennials are born in the presence of their fathers but nearly none of their grandfathers were present for the birth of their parents.
