QOTD:   Who will be in the delivery room with you on "labor day"?

Stacia:  Just DH.  I put my foot down when it comes to other people seeing my hoo-ha up close and personally. My family will be in Texas and unable to attend, and I certainly don't want my in-laws in the room with me!

  • DH that's it. And he's only allowed by my head. He scares easily.

  • Just the spouse and my mom. 

  • DH will be coaching me, and I'm okay with my mom and a few very close friends being there for some of the first stage stuff. But as soon as I hit the hard labor it will just be DH. I don't need the distraction of other people or their "advice". DH and I are in a birthing class (Bradley method) and so I need to just rely 100% on him and our MW.

  • Just DH and I, I know my MIL wants to be in the room but if I need a mommy it will be my own mom in there with us.

  • Sign me up!

    My hubby will be there and maybe my oldest sister who is one of my besties! THATS IT! I dont want everyone seeing me sweat and my va jay jay all vulnerable!

  • Just DH.  When I was in labor with DS there was a combination of about 6-7 different docs/nurses/med students that saw my vag.  I was not about to add family members to that list!

  • So long as everything goes how it should its just going to be my hubby and the L&D staff with me.  My mom didn't even think about going and I'm not on that good of terms with the IL's yet to be comfortable with that.  We actually won't be calling people until she is here and we are recovered a little bit either.
  • Dh really wants his mom to be there and my mom. I have reservations, so what I have said is everyone can be at the hospital but until I know how I am feeling in the actual moment I am not promising anyone access to my hoo-haa other than the DR.

     

    On a side note my MIL offered to cut the umbilical cord...which I felt like was weird.

  • My hubby and my mom.
  • Just my DH and my mom. Possibly my cousin but we just moved and I will be delivering at a different hospital so I'm not sure of there rules yet!
  • I haven't completely decided.  My DH will definitely be there-probably near my head.  My mom (also a nurse) asked me if I wanted her in there but I haven't given her an answer yet.  On the one hand, I want her there because she is my mom and also will understand what is going on, on the other hand, I don't want my MIL in there and am worried that she will want to be if my mom is.  I just don't want to have the conversation about why no to MIL and yes to my mom, so I keep putting off the decision.  I have some time, right?

     Also, thank you to my secret elf!  I posted earlier today, but don't know if she saw.  I got some adorable onesies and a fleece outfit-football themed and super cute!  I tried to post a pic but the site is blocked at work.

    Sorry this post is so long!

  • Just me and DH Smile

  • DH, my mom and my MIL, my mom told me this weekend that my dad is disappointed that he can't be in the delivery room, but I just don't want him there. I don't plan on letting anyone but the nurses/doctor see my vag (everyone else has to stay by my head), but just in case something happens I don't want my dad in there.

  • DH and maybe my Mom. I'd like her there to take pictures and such since DH and I will obviously be occupied. DH is not crazy about the idea.

  • Just DH since it's a c-section.

    If I had a vag birth I would have invited my mom and a girl friend of mine who's son's birth I was in the room for along with DH.

    When I asked my mom if she wanted to be there for DSs birth she told me "it's not a party" But I think when it came down to it if she couldn't be in there she would have been upset. But I had to have a c-section.

  • My DH and my Mom and that's it. We are only allowed 2 people at my hospital. I can't imagine having my MIL in there. No, thank you.

  • DH and the medical staff...my take on other people being in there is this...

    If you weren't there when we made this baby, you don't need to be there when he comes out!

    That is weird. I thought that was the job for the dad.

    I will have my DH and my mom.

  • Just DH will be in with me for delivery. Our parents and brothers are allowed to be at the hospital waiting if they want, but will not be in the delivery room.

  • Just DH maybe my mom if she makes it here in time. I know my DH is going to be scared sh*tless so I would want my mom since shes been there 5 times already! :)
  • Just DH.  My rule of thumb is only those who were there for conception get to be there for the birth.

    One of the perks of having family far away is I don't have to fight this battle.  :)

  • DH and no one else.  It is kind of funny because he teases me that he is going to be at a bar passing out cigars like people in the 50's did.  Sorry buddy you are going to be there with me!
  • Just my husband. He tends to keep my relaxed and focused. I think having other people in the room would stress me out.

  • My husband and my sister.  I would have liked my mom, but the hospital has a strict 2 person in the delivery room policy.
  • Just DH. Our plan is to labor at home and wait until the last minute to go to the hospital. That means my folks will miss a lot of the labor, since they're about an hour away.

  • My husband and Sister.. I was there for her delivery, and I think my husband will need the support.. LOL

  • DH will be there.  My MIL wants to be in the room with us this time.  My mom was there for DD's birth.  She is a little neurotic and I can't see me being able to efectively labor with her there stressing me out.  We've come up with a comprimise though.  We live about 5 minutes from the hospital and when doc tells DH and I that things are going to happen soon we'll call her and she can come for the end.

    Um thats totally weird but something I would expect to her from mine! Did you tell her DH is gonna do this because thats what the DADS do. so weird lol

     

    My DH and maybe my Mom. My Mom was there for DD and was an amazing coach through the entire process! Dh is a paramedic so im sure he wont mind the whole labor process but I kinda want my mom in there lol Other than the two of them I told DH NO ONE ELSE is allowed including MIL, feelings hurt or not its my va jay jay lol

  • DH and that is it.  My mother is out of state and would hurt her feelings if I had my step mom.  My MIL actually past away a year ago but if she was around still I wouldn't mind her being with us.
  • Just DH.  I'd honestly prefer as few people as possible.  I'm one of those women who would prefer to crawl in a dark hole and give birth alone.  Surprise

  • Just DH.

    MIL has asked about being in the room, to which we responded with a huge "hellll nah!"

  • Just DH. I've had three friends in the past month allow their moms in the delivery room. I'd probably be okay with that, but then MIL would get her panties in a wad... so yeah, just DH. Less drama.
