Just wondering who some of you ladies want there in the delivery room when your giving birth.  I of course gonna have my hubby there, but am debating rather I should have my mom there or not. She is a nervous person by nature and a bit dramatic, am not sure if I want to deal with that. Am her only daughter and this is my first baby. Am only 22wks so I have time to make a decision. Love to hear who yall will have in there with you♥♥

I have to find out the rules of the hospital in at this time but with my first two I had my baby daddy good mom and sister my mom and dad and my sister in law in the delivery room the whole entire time. New daddy this time around and new state so not really sure about the rules that apply but to me the more the merrier.

I'll be having my boyfriend and my mom in the room with me. Mainly because both of them know how to keep me calm

[skipapage]

I will be having the hubby and my best friend and our photographer friend assuming everything goes well mom lives out of state and i dont know how comfortable I would be with morther in law there

[nannewmom]

I will only have my husband there. My parents are deceased but his mom will come down from Stl for the birth. However, I do not feel comfortable enough to have her in there with me.

This is our third so I told my family that they can been in the room during my labor but once its time too push or if I get too uncomfortable at the end then I only want my husband in the room:-)

For me it was my husband and my overly dramatic mother! It was the first time I had ever seen her just sit back and observe so it wasn't so bad! I was worried but I think giving her a task i.e. Photographer kept her busy and made my life at that moment so easy!!!

[nannewmom]

Yes I think am going for a stress free environment. My husband is pretty calm and his really all I need:) thank you for the advice♥ love to hear everyone's opinions and stories♥

[CutieMommy2be]

lucy, I couldn't agree more with you.. we are doing the same.  only mom and hubby will know when I deliver. Dont need people showing up either! We want bonding time to!

[LucyMarie1991]

I am only having my fiancé there. I'm not even planning on telling anybody when I go into labor. I feel it.would be too stressful to have people calling and texting, wanting news. Or even turning up at the hospital. I want that time just for my new family to bond

[CutieMommy2be]

Im having my hubby and mom in there ONLY. to many people make it to stressful and I definetly DONT want my inlaws in there as they drive me nuts! That's the last thing I want is stress while being in pain lol!

[Dandi_2014]

Simply,
Only have the people that will be beneficial for you.
don't do it for anyone else :)

[HappyMommy071114]

With my first two it, i planned on just having my husband thwre. But i had an alllll natural birth and was in pain to the point where i didt give a darn. So my hubny, mom and cousin ended up being there for both. Which was nice cause it was my moms first grandchildren and we have always had a rough relationship, so it.was nice to have that bonding. My cousin has always been my best friend and closer then a sister, so i love having her support. She calm, focused and really great during l&d. So now on my third, im like dont carr whos there as long as my cousin is. Lol

[Mrs_English2]

First time had just my mom and little sister in room. So this go round will have my hubby and mom. Then as soon as baby is cleaned up big sister will be brought in asap.

[NatalieMahoney]

Our 1st I just had hubby. This time around having hubby n mum.
my mum said with our 1st she would like to be there, but only if I want get to be.
she was told by a of her few friends that they found it hard cause u cant take the pain away. She is a bit worried about coming in this time as our 1st we had some troubles. But she said if she camt handle it she will walk out.

[pregoRita]

My hubby his mom and sister along with my mom and sister .. Im on baby 3 and I could never give birth without my mama she helps so much with rubbing my back and hips during contractions

[3babyboyz]

I would love for my BF to b there but it looks like im gonna do it alone again! My our family lives out of state so i know they can't b there! My first bb my BF was in the room with me n my dad waited outside n my second one i did it alone cuz my BF had to take care of my first bb!

[Dandi_2014]

I'm having my husband with me, and living abroad I don't have the option to have anyone else there...
but even if I did, I would still only have my husband there..

I want it to be a controlled enviroment. :)

If your mom gets easily anxious it might delay your labor as what you need it controlled and relaxed enviroment.
If you tense up it can take longer...

I would think of it carefully and read a few (positive) birthing stories before I made up my mind..
It can be difficult to withdraw the offer when already given.

Good luck :) <3

[baybeelovee1214]

We have like the same dilemma right now lol of course my husband is gonna be there but idk if my mom can handle being in there or if I can handle her lol she's too much of a nervous wreck and I'm afraid I'll be worrying more about her not fainting than pushing my baby out lol I don't know if I'll feel comfortable with anyone else in the room :/ I'm also 22 weeks and my mom's only daughter so it's kinda hard..

[elle30]

I am only having my husband. Our labor and delivery teacher strongly recommended not having anyone stressful in there with you, because even with good intentions they may stress you out, which can stress out baby, the situation, etc. We only planned us 2 from day 1 anyways, but that's just the bit of professional tips i can give. If you want her there, go for it but i wouldn't feel obliged to. She suggested also maybe if you want to not hurt feelings, have them in there during the early labor. You can let the nurses know ahead of time at what point you want it to just be you and hubby or if she's not being stressful then just inform nurses you'd like her to stay.

I feel the same as you my mom stressed me out sometime and though she means we'll I told her if she's too much I'll have to kick her out
