I will be having my first child in December. My mother passed away last July, so my aunt has stepped up and has definitely helped me feel not so "mother-less".
My question is, should I have my aunt in the delivery room? My husband is for it, I'm just not sure if I will regret not having it just him and me. Or that having my aunt will make me feel more uncomfortable than I think I will.
For those who had their mother or motherly figure, any regrets?
Re: Who did you have in the delivery room?
With our second , (daughter) we still only had my husband and I because I gave birth to her in the middle of the night.
This time around, I'm being induced again (same as my son) and will be letting my mother and mother in law in the delivery room. I feel comfortable with it. I don't regret any way I've done it so far.
I would say if your husband is on board, then go for it. If you don't really lean one way or another as far as having her, maybe it should just be you and your husband. I'd just go with your gut on this.
My 1st baby, My mom, sister, and husband. The 2nd was my sister and husband (my mom was watching my in waiting room) and this 3rd time, it will be my mom and my sister because my husband is a baby when it comes to blood and needles lol
You really don't need anyone but your husband there. If you really want your aunt there, ask her, but it sounds like that's not the case and you're just trying to fill an additional support person slot, which is unnecessary.
My sister had her boyfriend and my mom when she had her first, just her husband with her second.
For me, I only wanted my husband there with me (and medical team of course).
