    Husband, and my mom (if her and dad makes it to the island in time), my sister really wants to be there too. Dad will probably wait outside lol.

    Probably just my wife and best friend. My mom drives both of us crazy and I think would make my labor worse!

    Just my husband, in laws can wait in the waiting area. My parents will be coming from Chicago (we live in Cali) about a week after they arrive.

    Just my husband. If it were possible I'd like to have my mom there as well, but alas. If I really want her to at least somewhat be there, I might ask dh to set up a skype call to her.

    Just my fiancée, although I've been struggling with inviting my mom. We haven't talked about it yet, but she can be very dramatic. I'd prefer not to have her there but am afraid she will be upset/offended.

    Husband only!  Parents can come in from the waiting room after we have a little bit of time just the three of us.

    It was important to DH and I that it was just us during delivery with DD, so we will do that again. I did want my parents there (at the hospital), but they waited outside in the family area. It was just nice to have them there. We are a really close family and I know they also just wanted to be close when their little girl (me) was going through such an incredible life experience. They were super respectful and know boundaries, so I felt really comfortable having them there.

    My husband and my mom. My husband doesn't want to be in the room, I think he's too nervous, but told him he has to and will regret it later if he's not. And my mom has been a nurse for 20 years and we are really close, it will make me feel better if she's there! Hopefully my sister will be able to make it in time, but she can wait in the waiting room! His family lives in Europe so they will not be here.

    I want to have my husband and my mom in the delivery room with me, and I keep feeling like I'm going to want my aunt there for support too. But everyone else can wait out in the waiting room!!! I feel like my husbands mother is going to want to be in there with us, but I don't know if I can handle it. I don't need an entire audience to be seeing everything lol.

    Just my husband! My mom assumed she was going to be in there but I had to tell her no. She isn't very mothering and she tends to talk about whatever illnesses she is currently manifesting to the Drs. So we will leave her out in the waiting room.

    My husband will be the only one allowed in the delivery room with me when it actually comes time to push.  My parents and in-laws are absolutely welcome to come wait and then come in once we have some time to ourselves.  This is what we did for DS, and it's what we are both most comfortable with.

    I will only have husband and doula for pushing.  I told my mom I may let her in for labor (not pushing), but I am not sure.  She really wants to be there and was upset she couldn't be there for my older sister who had always wanted her there but her husband said no, but I do know my twin sister will let her be there when her time comes.  I think it might be nice to have her there for just contractions, especially if it's a long labor, but I worry that my MIL will try to push in, but my husband is being very firm that he would flat out kick her out.  She can be extremely controlling.  I have  just told my mom I can't commit, but if she comes all the way out (about an hour) and I have a super long labor and am not getting very far I want her to be able to come see me and not just sit in the waiting room.  MIL, on the other hand, lives 5 min away and can just go home.  I have though about not telling anyone we are in labor just to avoid all of it, but we live across the street from my in-laws so it could be hard to hide.  THANK GOD FOR DOULAS!

    My husband. And no one is invited to visit for a while afterwards. Yes everyone is excited but this is our baby and we will never get this time back. Plus it is called the golden hour. My baby will be skin on skin and nursing. And we will both be naked. This time is so important to establishing nursing and being skin on skin helps regulate temperature, heart rate, and breathing. This is my third baby and I have no problem telling everyone else that they can wait. Plus I really want to shower before entertaining. Trust me. There is nothing quite as uncomfortable as being essentially naked and sitting in a puddle of stuff while visiting.

    Just my husband like I did with my first. I wouldn't want anyone else there. We didn't tell anyone I was even in labor till well after he was born with my son. It was wonderful.  I have homebirths and considering having his family drive up to take care of our son in case of emergency since my family lives on the opposite coast. But I really don't want other people making noise and getting in the way. Not sure what to do.

    Seeing as I'm having a repeat c-section, it will just be my husband. Both sets of parents and our daughter will be in the waiting room.

    I really want my husband AND mom in the room with me, but my husband wants it to be just the two of us. I understand where he is coming from but my mom is my best friend and I really think her support would be awesome!

    My husband, my mom and sister. My husband is a nervous Nellie and my mom and sister are my best friends so I need them there for support and to shut him up when needed ;) I love that man but sometimes he let's his own fears and endless questions get in the way of what I may be needing. Plus we'll have a waiting room full. My family is so important to me and my child. Love, love, love all around!!!

    My boyfriend, my mom (she's very chill and won't work my nerves), and my best friend who is also essentially trained to be doula; I would like to go med-free (hopefully). I'm also a FTM...is that too many people?  :-/
