Husband-friendly labour room

A husband-friendly labour room is one that allows the husband to accompany the wife while she is in labour. But for the life of me I do not know why they translate is as rakan suami instead of mesra suami. Mesra suami will connote that the labour room is friendly to husbands while I feel that rakan suami is better translated as husband's friend. So I would interpret a 'wad bersalin rakan suami' as a labour room that allows the husband's friend to enter but not the husband. 'Mesra suami' sounds much better.
