How did you involve older siblings in the birthing process or hospital visit?

Question

Hey mamas, I'm curious about your experiences involving older siblings in the birthing process or taking them to the hospital to meet the new baby. Did you have them present during the birth? Or did you plan a special visit for them once the baby arrived? Share your stories, tips, and best practices to make these moments special for the whole family!

Answer

I wish I had a special moment to share but mine is just funny to me. Me and my SO are the only 2 we have ti depend on where we live so we had to take our daughter to the hospital with us. She slept right up until I want to say the final push and was all in the business lol standing on the couch like what's going on lol.

Answer

Here in Sydney in Australia no children under 12 are allowed in the birth units or maternity ward so not an option. I’m sad my 2 year old can’t even come and see me and baby once she arrives in Dec due to the rules
