I deliver babies as a nurse, and I have to say the reason I do this is because of the reactions of the fathers and mothers right after delivery. Disbelief, automatic and unconditional love, tears, anticipation and wonder. Helplessness and innocence thrust into what fate or destiny has named their parents; in a sudden moment you witness a family bloom. In the good cases, that is.
