Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
With Madelyn: DH, my mom, and HeathKernandez I needed the comic relief.
With Eliza: DH and my dearest friend from childhood. She is Eliza's Godmother as well as child free by choice. She figured since she'd never experience childbirth she might as well watch mine. She was an amazing coach, BTW.
This pregnancy will be a repeat of my first. My mom and sister with DH. We all made a great team and it was very comforting to me to have the women in my life there to share in the miracle. Plus, poor DH appreciates having someone else there to shoulder the responsibility.

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
There was never any question in my mind that it's just going to be me and DH.
I can't imagine anyone else in there while I am actively pushing, etc.
I'm WAYYYY to private for that.

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
I voted for DH and my Mom. My Mom lives out of town though, so most likely she wont get here in time (just like first time around). But I would love to have my Mom in the room with DH and I. She's would be a great source of comfort for me.

My mom was there when my son was born, and it was very special, but this time its just going to be myself and my husband. Just the two of us (and the midwife of course)

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
Just DH.
My mom was an OB in her country and though she didn't practice here she did work in the medical field. Part of me wants her in ther but she stresses me out in general, can't imagine during labor. So it will only be DH. I know she's a bit offended by that but I honestly think she'd raise my bp.

DH and my sister.
My mom was traumatized by being in the room with my sister.
I honestly don't care who is there I'm banning cell phones though.

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
I actually don't want anyone in there with me, including DH. He's sqeamish and makes comments and isn't that good at taking care of me.
I also kind of think of labor like a bad stomachache after you've had too much greasy food where you're in the bathroom for like 2 hours in pain and sweaty and nauseous. I've never thought Gee, I'd like some company.
But it'll probably be DH and my mom.

During the delivery I only want DH in there.
Since labor can last many hours, I would like my mom there too, but at the end I'd prefer not to have anyone else in there than the hospital staff and DH.
ITA I wouldn't mind seeing my mom/dad and sister while I labor...but my DH is the ONLY one in there when I start to spread my legs and push

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
For the actual delivery/birth...just DH.
if say my mom or bff want to pop in and say hello prior to that...while nothing is going on...I might be okay with it.
Although I don't really want a million ppl visiting me in the hospital....so we might tell everyone to just wait.

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
For DS it was just DH. I had to have a C-section so it could only be him. However, we both agreed beforehand that it would only be the 2 of us. We wanted to have that time alone.
This time it will also be just the 2 of, C-section or not. I want to experience this with just DH. It was just the 2 of us when we created this child, we want it to be just the 2 of us when we welcome this child into the world. Everyone else can either wait in the waiting room or come during visiting hours.

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
just DH in the delivery room, but my whole family will be waiting in the waiting room- we did it for both my sister's kids and waited as long as it took. hopefully it won't take too long!

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
Just DH. I also didn't want people waiting on the waiting room. I wanted to be able to deliver the baby, bond with DH and baby and relax for a little bit before the swarm of visitors came.
Yes, everyone is excited to see the new baby, but remember to put your needs first, no matter what opinions you get from others.

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
I think it might just be me  .
DH doesn't think he can handle it.
I'm thinking maybe my Mom but I'm not totally sure.
I'm hoping DH will change his mind.

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
Just my DH
My hospital didn't allow anyone else IN the delivery room at all. My parents were there during labor, but when it came time to push, everyone but DH, my OB and my nurse left.
I actually thought it was a great experience to be like that. My OB and DH were discussing whether or not he wanted to deliver DS (he can, he is an EMT) and he decided not to, though she was cool with it.
Also, you never know what can happen, or happen in a split second, my DS wasn't breathing when he was born (*I* didn't even know that til he was a year old!) and I was hemorrhaging pretty severely and there was a lot of chaos in the room, I couldn't imagine anyone else being there for that....

Right now I am thinking only DH. I might let MIL & my mom come in & out while I am in labor, but prob not during delivery.
I'm thinking the same.

Re: Just curious, in delivery room.... (w/poll)
I haven't even thought about this till now...I wish I could do it just me because I don't know how DH will handle it and I def don't want parents or siblings in there...DH is SUPER excited about it tho so regarless of his ability to handle it I know it will be just me and him.
