Who did you have in delivery room for second baby?

Question

Also please feel free to share your stories and why you chose... my first son it was my husband and my mom. Not sure what to do for this one. My husband wants it just us. So I mentioned maybe my mom can be there during labor and leave for delivery. But idk what to do.

Answer

Spouse and mil. I would never have my own mother though

Answer

Having your mom be there for the long hard part and not the main event sounds terrible tbh 😂 
I had my mom there both times and will again the third because she was a great support.  Guys can be a bit...annoying...during labor but most women tend to be helpful because they know what’s up.  My mom practically froze her hands off getting me ice cold washcloths for every contraction while my ex stood there useless.  Then she took pictures for me once my girls were born.  First time holding them, getting weighed, etc.  All very raw and amazing photos.  
I didn’t even ask my SO if he was okay with my mom being in the room, I’m in labor, it’s my decision.  She’ll be there.  I know he’ll be more supportive than my ex was, but I need her to be a part of this again.

Answer

My mom asked to be in the room both times and I politely told her no. I say we made this baby together, we’re having it together lol, she got butt hurt each time.

Answer

Spouse and his sister

Answer

I haven’t decided yet for my second baby (due October) but I’m leaning toward having my mom also. She was there with my first and was much more support than I ever got from my sons dad who was basically completely useless. She held my hand for my epidural. She rubbed my legs when they were hurting. She let me almost break her hand before I got my epidural. She helped me push. I wouldn’t have been able to do it the first time without her.

Answer

Spouse , My Mom and His Mom (He kept fighting for his mom to be apart of it too). I only wanted him & my mom but I was contracting really bad I didn't care who was there at the moment. I just 2anted baby out. But now I see their point of view his mom has just a good right as mine does. I'm a mom of a boy as well and hope his wife sees it when they're older and have one.

Answer

I had my SO, mother, grandmother, and father. I had a very relaxed birth and have a very open and big loving family. It was kinda who wanted to be in the room I was okay with having in the room. It’ll probably be the same for baby number two.

Answer

For my first I had my mom and hubby there. And I truly don’t know how I would have done it without her! She was a rock for both myself and my partner. 
This time around we are going on our own. But I know my mom will be close by and have her phone on high In case I need her. 
I know if I broke down during labour and told my partner I need my mom, he would call her and have her there instantly! - for me, because it was such a positive experience with her there the first time, it’s comforting knowing she would be there if I needed her this time too! 
Beat of luck to you!! 🥰

Answer

My first was my mom, ex’s mom, my older sis and my ex. I hated having so many people. 
My second came so fast it was only my husband, just how we wanted it. It was almost just us with no midwife 😂 she came  as I was crowning

Answer

My mom and hubby were in the room for both. My mom barely made it for the first because they were running me from triage because they weren’t taking me seriously about needing to push, my dr barely made it. But I’m thankful she was there because she was helping me breathe so I wouldn’t push. My husband was no help there lol he was starting to panic because I was hyperventilating. My second we actually got to a room right away, had my baby not even half an hour later, but I was so hot during labor so she was sitting there fanning me as my husband was trying to update his mom who was taking care of our oldest and his brother who lives out of state. She knew that when I was pushing to stand back and just let it be us and the dr and nurses coach me. She didn’t really make her presence known until after they got everything cleaned up then she was like let me get pics then I’ll leave you be, because everyone in the waiting room wanted to see baby but we had a couple hours of bonding time/skin contact  alone.
