Thanks everyone! I’m not actually pregnant yet (TTC) but my 10 year old was asking if she could be present and I was curious about the experiences of others.
I think I’m most worried about my comfort level, to be honest. I have four kids, and without exception, with every delivery, whether it was a doctor or midwife, I wanted everyone to leave me alone and just let me do what I needed to do.
As one poster said, I’d definitely want another adult there to care for her because I wouldn’t have the bandwidth. And I’d feel terrible about it.
Your answers have given me much to think about! Again, thank you!
