For my first it was my husband and mother. For my second it was my sister and MIL. Now for my third I don't know. My husband Almost fainted with the first so he would rather not be in there. I don't care who is in with me as Long as they are there to do their job. Coach and hold my leg! I was in with my sister and she says she wouldn't have been able to do it with out me and I feel the same with her. She is a great support which is what I need!
This is our last and DH missed our last birth; he was traveling for work and I was not even close to my due date. So this time we want it to be special. I am thinkin of having a photographer but that is it besides DH.
It was very special having my sister in the room for my seconds birth. Something she and I will never forget!
I'm planning on just having DH with me and I like the idea of having a couple hours after the birth for some quiet bonding! The only thing I'm a little worried about is that DH travels for work. Currently, he's only a 3 hour drive away, but he could be anywhere by July! Good thing our due date falls on the holiday weekend, so hopefully baby arrives on time and DH is already in town! If he can't make it back my sister will be with me. I don't think I'd be comfortable with MIL seeing everything and my mom has some mobility and cognitive issues that could put her at risk in a busy/stressful situation.
