With my first born my ex was there, my sister and my mom. I was 22 and didn't know what to expect. But this time just my boyfriend and my sister. My sister only bc she's a pro photographer and she asked if she could photograph the birth. Not all of the gross stuff but once the baby is out and fresh and getting weighed in and then the candid shots of daddy, mommy & baby together for the first time. I'll be 29 when I give birtj again, I don't need my mom this time.
Haha I agree wholeheartedly with AngelaAdams. They can see the baby when it gets here, just not as it's coming out of my vajayjay. End of story. Just my husband will be in the room with me and even he isn't allowed to look down in my nether regions as all of that is happening.
Just my husband and I. for our first, my mother was in there but not watching, with our second she was in there helping the nurse because he was crowning when we got to the hosp. for our 3rd it was just my husband and I and to me it was the best. Plus my kids are too young and need to be watched by their grandparents who know them better than anyone else.
My mom rushed in both of my previous labors when she knew how I felt which really upset me. With my daughter my mother held her before me which also ticked me off. Idk she is just going to have to deal with me saying no. She experienced it with my sister in law.
We are having a home birth and I've made it perfectly clear to my parents that it will only be my husband & I (and of course my midwife & her helper). I know my mom and she stresses me out. His mom asks too many questions and stresses me out. Sooo just us.
This is my first and i my mom and the baby dad are going to be in there. Im an only child so this is the first grandbaby and im also a mamma girl lol. Id love.for my "step' dad to be in there to as he never got to experience it with me since i was 5when my parents got together but he keeps telling me he can't watch his little girl in that much pain. I also told.my bd if he wants his mom.in there i guess its ok to be fair bc this is his first also but i don't really want to lol.
I am on my fourth kid and right from the very beginning I have kept it easy. I believe it is such a special private moment that is just for the mother and father. Especially after the first baby I would rather have them home with the other kids making sure there fine then being t the hospital.
I agree. My mom wants to be in there again. Cause she was in there with my 1st. My sister was also in there, & of course my husband. But with all the nurses and e everyone in there, I felt like there was just way too many ppl and I didn't experience the moment fully of first seeing and holding our baby. This time I'm just having my fiancée and daughter in there. My mom & mother in law to be, both assume they'll be in there. But I still gotta break the news to em that I dont want anyone in there! Lol I would just love to have our moment. It is "our" baby after all. And its not like they will never see the baby! Lol They'll see baby minutes after she's born. Just won't see her come out of my va jay jay LOL
I am kind of going through what you are going through except this is my first baby and I am also 20, but will be 21 when baby gets here but I am also married and want the experience to be special for my husband and I and my mom doesn't really get along with the both of us. But I figured that since my sister cannot have kids and she will only have 1 1st grandbaby, I might as well let her join in, and I told my husband to be fair that his mom can be in there too if she'd like to. But it is completely up to you. Sure she might be upset that she wasn't in there but I am sure that she will get over it once baby is here and she see's him/her. But this decision is completely up to you.
With my first two, I had my mom and my husband.this time, I'm thinking about just having my husband...but my mom always makes me feel better lol.
My aunt will be the only other one because she was my birth coach with my first. I'm not going to tell anyone else when we go except SO's mother so there will be as little noise and excitement as possible
With my first baby my mom and bf where in there with me i was scared and felt safer with.my mom in there with my second baby she was there with me during labor pains but as soon as they started getting worse i.called someone to pick her up poor thing she looked scared i didnt want to put her threw that again so it was just my husband and i and with.this baby again its.gonna be.just husband an i its.more comfortable that way less stress
I'm having just my hubby like I've done with my last three. We were the only two there when our baby was created and we'll be the only two there when it's born (with the exception of doctors and nurses of course) everyone else is welcome to visit during the early part of labor before it gets too painful and after the baby is born :-)
