Re: S/O Hospital visits
H was the only person in the room when I started to push.
In the waiting room were my parents, my inlaws, BIL, SIL, both my sisters and a friend. At one point all these ppl where in the room with me before I had the epi, and I was a 9...I think that was the only time I ever yelled at them to get the hell out, as a group.
But who knows...thee bday party is tmrw..maybe it will happen again!
Throughout the day MIL, my mom, dad, fil. sil, aunts, uncles were in and out of the room. I offered to let my mom, MIL and H be in the room during delivery but we ended up with a c-section so only H was there for the birth.
Next time I think I would rather be in the room alone. H and the whole family can all hangout in the waiting room until delivery and then H and only H will come back for that.
I had a scheduled c-section so DH was there for birth.
In the pre-op room was my mom, sister, aunt and DH.
In the recovery room was my mom, MIL, FIL, GrandMIL, GrandFIL, Dad, SM, Grandmother, Grandfather, sister DH. I could be missing some too - it was packed. And only 2 people are even allowed in there! Hahaha I think they even all held JT BEFORE I did!
Never again.
Nobody but me; H.
If we do have another, we'll drop off Joaquin with someone and then maintain radio silence until well after Kid 2 is born. While I'm totally down with hospital visitors, get the f*ck out of my face until I say so. And holding the baby before me? I would be ripsh*t.
Just DH the entire time.
My mom wanted to be there but I asked her not to come until the day after we left the hospital.
I'm not sure what we're doing this time. We might need someone around to help with A.
I had a scheduled c-Section so it was just DH & I. No one in the waiting room as they knew they could not come back until I was out of recovery and moved to a room. DH called from recovery (they allowed cell phones to be used) and let everyone know all was well. My parents came over with older DS and DH's parents came soon afterwards. Once we were in a room DH got older DS and gave him a few minutes alone with us to meet little brother before allowing all of the grandparents back. It was really nice that way.
With older DS I had all kinds of people in and out during labor- both of our mothers were there the whole time, two of my aunts dropped by, my brothers, my dad, and who knows who else. I ended up having a C-section so only DH was in for the birth and then he and baby disappeared off to the nursery while the stitched me up and there was a whole crowd waiting up there.
