Who's coming to your birth?

Question

I'm planning on a home birth with just my husband in attendance but now I'm not so sure, maybe I want my mom too ...

Who will be at your birth?

Answer

My husband and Doula will be with me. We do not include family as they get too emotional and add on uneccesary pressure.

Answer

My mom will be there. She was for my first. She's been through it before 3 times! She knows what to do...I highly recommend your mother

Answer

My mom and my husband were there when my son was born, but I just want my husband in the room this time.

Answer

Only my SO in the room but my family is welcome to visit after baby and I get cleaned up and situated.

Answer

I had fiancé my mom and my grandma. I could care less who is in there with me.

Answer

If we actually get our HB this time, it will just be the midwife, her assistant, & hubby. Mayyyybe a birth photographer. I haven't decided about that yet. I absolutely do not want an audience. My last birth (awful hospital birth) I had 2 nurses, hubby, midwife, and my doula. Too many people for my taste.

Answer

Husband.  I have had friends and family there with previous deliveries and honestly, it's so much more of a moment when it was just him and I.

Answer

Husband. I wouldn't mind my mom but she lives far away and I think it would be too hard to plan.

Answer

My husband, my mom, my mil, and my best friend.

Answer

I would make sure your mom is 100% ok with homebirth before inviting her. If she's tense, you'll be tense. My mom was there for mine (she was visiting from out of state) and literally hid in the guest room the whole time! It was hilarious. Didn't come out until the midwife team left. But if your mom is comfortable and calm, go ahead and have her there!
