Does anyone know how many people can be in the delivery room at Brigham and Women's?

actually the above poster is not right..you can have as many people in there as you want.  i know this because there was an african woman giving birth while I was in labor there and she had a village of women (no joke) in the room singing songs and performing cultural rituals that were customary for their people.  I started asking the nurse about it and she told me they don't curb the number of people as every culture is different.  She said for space sake and for your sanity- they prefer it just be a small group.
