Toddler at hospital?

Melissa

2nd time moms, how much do you plan on having your toddler at the hospital with you while you’re laboring and after you have the baby? My daughter is 2 and 1/2 and I’m a work from home mom so I’m with her every single day and I hate the idea of being away from her. I plan on asking my MIL to watch her while I’m delivering but I was curious if any of you let your kids in the room to visit while you were in labor? My labor when I had my first was soooooo easy so that’s why I’m so optimistic about it. I know not every labor will be that easy and I may not want her there at all depending on how I feel. Just wanted to get some insight from y’all. TIA!
