Delivery?
Who all are you allowing to be in the delivery room with you? I kind of want my mom to be there because I know for sure my husband is going to pass out lol but I feel like my MIL will complain if I allow my mom and not her... I'm just not too comfortable with her being there. Who are you moms planning on allowing?
My hubby and mom .. if my mil lived in the state and wanted to b there I am ok with it as long as she isnt looking down there ... onky dr and nurses south of the equator lol
My husband. My mom if I happen to have her the week she's visiting. The benefit of living on the other side of the country from both sides of the family is that the decision is made lol
My husband and possibly my daughter and my best friend if she can make it. Although when it comes time to actually I'm not sure I will want my daughter to stay in the room and see me in that much pain, so I'm thinking if my friend can make it may be she can stay outside the room with my daughter until my baby is born.
I'm not sure if my partner can handle it. I know he wants to be there but he seems like he would come in and out of the room. I rather have no one there because Ill be in pain, but my midwife acts like the support is needed. My mom isn't around. Haven't seen MIL the entire pregnancy. I know my aunt wants to be there but she's so bossy and I'm afraid I'll kill her or she will cause me unneeded stress so most likely only my grandmother will be there because she is my mom. I'm having a water birth so I'm hoping it'll be a little easier. I hear the water softens your tissues and relaxes you. I'm excited :)
Most likely just my fiance.. I want to do a natural med free birth so I will be giving birth in a different position. Also after my little man is out I'm going to let my fiance hold him and then I'm going to do skin to skin for about a half hour and try to breast feed. After that I will allow a few people in to meet him.
Whoever wants to be there was my decision finally. Other then my hubby I couldn't decide so whoever wants to support me and isn't pissing me off while I'm having the baby can stat lol
Just my bf.. my sister thinks shes gonna be in there but thats a whole other story! My mom is not good with stuff like that and i just feel comfortable with my bf :)
I am only having my fiance in the room. I personally am not a "birth is so beautiful" kind of person. I think seeing my baby and holding him for the first time will be beautiful, but not the tearing vagina doctors in my crotch part lol. So I will not be allowing my mother in the room even though she really wants to be. She's the kind of person that would be right there at the end of the bed like "move over I got this" and that would just make things too uncomfortable for me. But to each there own :) have who ever YOU want to be in there.
Was going to have my husband and best friend, but then my husband and I agreed it would be the best experience to just be him and I in the room... Just an amazing bonding experience!
My husband, my mom, and my MIL. I let my MIL in because I hope and pray that when my boys have babies that I will get to be in the room. My MIL just sits in the corner and doesn't get up and look down there so she doesn't see anything and doesn't get up until baby is out. She also respects that no one touch the baby until hubby and I have held the baby. Then we pretty much let our moms hold the baby and then everyone leaves after hold the baby. Then we don't allow anyone at the hospital for the first 12 hours so we can rest and feed the baby. After that we have visitors. It makes it easier and grandma's on both side get to show everyone pictures that hold them over until we allow visitors.
My husband and my mum. They were both with me for my 1st too and couldn't have been more helpful. Mums are good to have as they know how to help if u want it. :)
