The other mother in the delivery room

An article in UU World reminds us that being the "other mother" is still very often not accepted.
I promise Annie I’ll be right back, race down the hall into the elevator and down to the post-op area, but I’m stopped by a nurse with a clipboard.

“Who are you here to see?”

“Julie Goodridge.”

“Who are you?”

“Her partner.”

“Immediate family only.”

It's going to take a lot of work to broaden the meaning of "immediate family".
