Who do want in the delivery room??

ginmae85@yahoo.com · March 2009

This was asked over in 1st tri, I was surprised to find out that some don't want their husband in the delivery room. I want mine in there, What about you??

DH will be the only person besides medical staff allowed in the room

HDxNxJ · March 2009

Just my husband!

For the actual push-fest? Just my husband and the appropriate hospital staff. This is a celebration of our little family. I know our parents love and support us, but they can do that from the waiting room.

DH will definitely be in there with me. I don't mind my parents and ILs being in there before the pushing starts, but once we get down to business, DH is the only one allowed. (And he is firmly aware that he is not allowed south of my hips)

DH and my mom.

FrickandFrack · March 2009

DH and medical staff.

H will be the only non-medical person there, unless he can't make it (his 2 weeks with the Reserves will happen in July, so if I go early there's a chance he won't be back in time), then my mom will take his place.

Val&Jason · March 2009

DH and maybe my mom. She was there for the last and was a big help!

Evelynsmom · March 2009

DH and the medical staff that's it.

irys09 · March 2009

I asked my DH who he wanted in the room before really telling him my opinion. He goes "well, me obviously... and probably my mom"

Never once did he even think about MY mother! LOL

He wasn't thrilled when I told him I didn't want anyone else in there besides him, but he got over it considering it's my junk all up in the air.

dh and I will be the only ones in the delivery room and for that matter I dont plan on calling family until after the baby is born

MrsBro6116 · March 2009

Just DH, and medical staff obviously.

Ali22 · March 2009

Just my hubby!

Aliliv · March 2009

DH and medical staff. Last time (and I'm going to the same hospital), the nurses were unbelievable great and were guided by my equally as great dr. in how to help my labor progress natural, reminding me how to breath, and how to push. My sister wants more than anything to be there - but, honestly, I'd be too annoyed telling her "shut-up and stop crying" that I probably wouldn't last very long.

nicolehoppe · March 2009

Just DH-

Vixey529 · March 2009

DH and the medical staff.

DanielsWife · March 2009

Only DH and the medical staff. ?Our parents can visit prior to the active pushing, but the delivery will be a private affair.?

fairychick77 · March 2009

Just DH! I don't think I could handle anyone besides him and the medical staff being in the room with me.....

Soap1 · March 2009

DH of course. I know I want my mom there up until the pushing, I think I'll let her wait outside for that bit though.

This. I can't imagine NOT wanting dh in there with me.

Mrs.Foreste · March 2009

I want my mom & DH in the room.

Michelle&Mark · March 2009

MH & doctors.

clpeters7836 · March 2009

Just my fiance and medical staff.

Kendall13 · March 2009

DH only.

We also had to tell family that we will be spending alone time with our new baby before he is wheeled out into the crowd. IL's couldn't understand that, but that's just too bad.

Ace1599 · March 2009

While I am laboring anyone can be present that would like to, however once the spread-eagle-hard-labor-pushing begins it will just be the Med staff and DH.

SafetyWife07 · March 2009

Husband only! Others are welcome during labor, prior to the pushing and delivery...just medical staff and DH during that part.

Kristri07 · March 2009

My mom and DH.

Pennylane824 · March 2009

I don't really care who comes in prior to the pushing, but once we get down to business it will just be DH. I say that now, but you never know- I rely on my mom a lot so there's a possibility her too.

thefarmchick · March 2009

DH ONLY. My mom had a bit of a hard time with this one but I told her she would be the first phone call and could come up to the hospital right away and be the first visitor. DH's mom said she would come over as soon as we got home and didn't need to come to the hospital.

mommymeg914 · March 2009

The only person that will be in the delivery room besides the hospital staff is my husband. I have never understood having the entire family in there. It is just a very personal moment for me and my husband to experience together. Our family is more than welcome to come in before and afterwards.

mrswlkr · March 2009

DH for sure. and maybe my mom. It depends on how much drama the MIL will make of it. She is NOT allowed in the room. and if she pitches a fit my mom will just sit in the waiting room with her.

thatgirlang · March 2009

DH only!

melhearts · March 2009

It seems like I am the only 1 who really doesn't care who is there. I know it is definately going to be my DH and my mom, and hopefully my sister. I am extremely close to my sister and she has 3 children, all c-sections, so I thought it would be nice for her to experiment natural childbirth through me! She never wanted the c-sections. I figured when it comes time to pushing I am not going to care who is there I am just going to want the baby out!!
