who will be in your delivery room??

ChrissyK88 · June 2009

for me first two births.. my mom and DH were the only ones there.

This time my grandmother who has never seen anyone give birth really want to be there..

its not an issue about how many i can bc my drs only request is if he needs to intervene no one gets in his way.

I just dont know how comfortable i am with that..

who will be there with yall...

Lolita0626 · June 2009

Definitely DH, maybe my mom (+ doctors and nurses)

orion09 · June 2009

my mom and DH....

when its time to push... just DH and I....oh and the doctor/staff

poopteen · June 2009

Bare minimum. I'm not a fan of people seeing me vulnerable, emotionally or otherwise. So it's just SO and the medical staff. Anybody who wants to wait outside can do so.

Mrs.Foreste · June 2009

DH & my mom. My mom won't be in town until I'm 39 weeks so if LO decides to show before that then it will just be DH in the room.

NATALE0624 · June 2009

my hospital only allows 2 people at a time.. but anyone can come and go but once i start to push its just my DH

Pesky · June 2009

With DD, it was just DH and I.

With this one, it will be DH and possibly MIL, depending on whether she needs to be with DD or not. I'm fine with that -- I think I get along better with her than my own mother, who I would ban from the room because she would so not be helpful.

sam19 · June 2009

Just H if he can make it. But I'm not expecting a fast labor so I'm sure he'll get there.

sarah14 · June 2009

Husband and my mom.

robbie3982 · June 2009

DH, doula and possibly my good friend who's a pro photographer if it doesn't conflict with any of the weddings she has scheduled. She wants to offer a birth documentary package to her clients and asked if I'd be her example. There will be NO baby coming out shots or any type of nudity though. Just reaction type shots of baby seeing us for the first time, us seeing baby for the first time, etc.

Daniella4 · June 2009

dh and mom

katie_cj · June 2009

My FI, his aunt (who I love and get along great with), and my best friend.

When it comes to pushing, it'll probably be me and FI. I don't mind his aunt being there at all, it all depend when his mom makes it down. I like my MIL, but I'm not having her in the room. If she's there before LO is born, FI's aunt knows she has to leave as well. We have already discussed it with her and she's ok with that. There's already some issues between the sisters and I'm not causing more!

MBNB · June 2009

DH and my mom...if she makes it here in time.?

mburkhe · June 2009

DH and my mom if needed

ivs112 · June 2009

My mom and my boyfriend.

anarivera · June 2009

Mom and DH

Vixey529 · June 2009

My DH is the only one (other than midwife, nurses, etc)

jvlund84 · June 2009

My dh, my mom and my mil. but with my mom and mil there is above the neck rule. they have to stay above my neck.

cmyers6278 · June 2009

ChrissyK88.... totally unrelated, but I went back in the post earlier to tell you that your LO's are so cute, but I didn't think you would see it if I posted it there. Your son looks like he's going to be a heart breaker.

mandolynn81 · June 2009

We are alowed 5 people. Mom and mil can come in for ?PARTS of the early labor - but during active labor and pushing it will only be dh and my sister who is my bf, assuming lo doesn't come early - alexis is in hawaii and plans to come 3 weeks around when I ?am due.?

?

water-fairy · June 2009

Only DH!

AutumnBride929 · June 2009

Probably just DH. I don't know who I'll want to be around while I'm in labor (besides DH) but the only possibilities would be my mom or MIL. I feel like that kind of affects who will be there for the delivery because if they're already in the room while I'm laboring then they'll probably be there for the delivery... the two kind of blend together, haha. It's not like I'll be in transition & then stop to say, "Okay, time to get out before I push", heh.

ShawnaDanielle · June 2009

Just my DH.

yale · June 2009

DH and mom if she wants.

chankins14 · June 2009

I think it is just going to be me & DH.

afg · June 2009

Me and MH and minmal medical staff.

No one else's business!

jetgrrrl · June 2009

DH and a good friend of mine. My mom probably wouldn't be able to make it on time and I don't want to ask SIL because she's got her own two kids and the attendant logistics issues that could pose. My friend is older and has never had a kid but is a cool head in a crisis - I mostly want her there for DH, who is FREAKING OUT over how HE is going to get through labor, lol!

suscq · June 2009

Just DH.

frowgetter · June 2009

DH only...my mom is dying to be in there but we are not particularly close so Im not too keen on that idea

Jessica Kovacs · June 2009

Only DH. My mom and MIL have not mentioned this and I hope it stays that way. Love them but I just don't want them there for that. I think I'd kill them.

boo98lu · June 2009

My husband and my Mom!

heidismith · June 2009

DH and maybe my mom..

starlingrose · June 2009

My best friend insists she is heading to the hospital as soon as Im admitted, she wants to be there the whole time by my side but said will only stay for as long as I feel comfortable..not sure how long that will be. Im assuming my mom will be around as well during labour. So far I think I will only want my bf in the room during the pushing...buuttt I could want my mom as well who knows how Ill feel!

BuddhaKitty · June 2009

DH and my mom as back-up in case DH starts flippin' out lol

jmstone · June 2009

Our hospital as a 2 person rule - me and 2 other people. DH will be there non stop and if my parents can make it in time, then they can take turns coming in and out if they want. I will be enforcing an "above the boobs" rule for my parents just because I don't think it's necessary for them to be all up in my crotch when the baby makes its appearance.?

::Edit - if it were up to me, it would just be DH & myself & whatever medical staff but DH is worried that he'll pass out and leave me all alone...buck up!::?

Chrysallys · June 2009

My mom and DH will be there. I also have a close friend that may be there during part of my labor, we'll see. She's been the biggest support to me through this pregnancy and both DH and I have decided that if she wanted to come she could.

These are the only people allowed at the hospital as well. We are not going to have any other visitors.

pinkee363 · June 2009

I had been very adamant that it just be D/H and the Drs and nurses for a long time. My mom used to beg me to be in there with us. While I have stood my ground on not letting my mom in (I love her to death, but would not be the best to calm me down...), I have decided to let my sister be in the room with us. She is the baby's godmother and will also most likely never have kids herself, so this way she can share with our experience.
