birth?

Who to have in the delivery room? I dont have much support but a family friend keeps suggesting who to have in the room cause its a really sensitive tine etc and he doesn't think ny paetner is mature enough to handle to be emotionally supportive for me. But I watched a bunch of teen mom episodes and they have everyone and the camera crew there so any opinions?!

My mom and I were not getting along great but she was the one in the room with me and I thought it would be weird but it was nice having her there since she knew what it is like to have a baby

I had 3 ppl in with my first child. Just make sure that person is supportive  & understanding because your gonna need nothing but positive energy.

I had my partner his mom my mom and dad with my first they were there the whole time but once the doctor said its time to push I asked them to get out except my partner because I wanted him to be the first to see our baby without everyone. And thus time I'll have my bf and idk who else because I need someone to watch my son. But I'll do the same if anyone else is there.

Generally you're allowed two for a vaginal birth. But every hospital is different. I plan on having my husband and mother

As far as I know most doctors only allow one person in there with you.
