Well, of course my husband is...
but then my mom is like I want to come in too, My doctor said I can have as many as I want.

just dh..............

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

I'm hoping DH can even come, I will probably have a c-section. If they can't do an epidural, I will be out and therefore, so will DH

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

just dh

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

DH wants to be alone with me...but I am afraid he won't be able to handle it well and want his mom there too...I am putting her name on the list as someone else who is allowed in the room and she will be on backup!

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

My mom would LOVE to be in there too, but for our first child, I feel like it should be our experience alone. She's def. my back-up if for some reason DH can't get there in time.

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

Just DH... I'm hoping my FIL and SIL don't barge their way in (the are obgyns at good sam)...I really don't need them seeing all my stuff!!

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

Just my DH!

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

just DH. I know my SIL and MIL might want to be in there but I really don't want them to be. Just me and DH.

just DH

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

This is how I feel, maybe I should let me and my husband be in there alone, b/c if I invite my mom too, then it will have to be his mom too, and I really don't want her seeing me.....

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

I think just DH. My sister really wants to be but I'm not sure. If I was going to have anyone else it would be my Mom.

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

Probably just DH. My sister is a L&D nurse upstate, I would love to have her in there for help/reassurance too, but obviously we're not sure if she'll be down here when I go into labor! It's a 6-hour drive

ETA: Now that I think about it, wonder if this would cause hurt feelings with my mom, if my sister is in the room too. She would understand, but still. I'm only considering my sis because that's her field and I will want the reassurance.

Just my DH

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

Just DH.

For me, there will be enough people in the room as it is.

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

absolutely just DH, I would not want anyone else in there with us

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

DH, my mom, and his mom.

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

My hospital (NSUH) allows 2.

My DH.

My sister who is a nurse is going to be with us as well IF she is here (she lives in VT but took the last 2 weeks of May off) -- she will be sort of my advocate since I want to try natural childbirth. She is in charge of keeping the lights low, my music on, things like that....

We may have a Doula as well but that doesn't count towards my 2.

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

Just DH. I think he will be able to handle it.

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

Just DH. We both feel like it's something we should just experience together. My 2 nieces (ages 14 & 16) who I am very close to actually asked if they could come in with us. When i mentioned it to my sister, she said "actually all 3 of us would like to come in" I said thank you, DH will be in there with me, but you could be in the waiting room...

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

DH only! I dont know if anyone else is allowed but I am going to tell the nurses to say its hospital policy that only DH can be in there so there wont be any hurt feelings.

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

My first DD it was just DH. This time it will be DH and my sister. I was able to be there when my nephew was born so i would like her to have the same experience i did. Its so much nicer when you arent the one giving birth.

Re: who is going into the delivery room with you??

DH only
