2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

I've been missing from the forums for a few weeks but welcome and congrats to all the new ladies I've missed! :) Pregnancy #2 but baby #4 here.
 
Exciting!

My son's 11 today so we're off to laser quest lol x
 
Congrats pink!!! :-)

I find out in less than 48 hours!

Good to "see" you Heidi!
 
Congrats Pinkbow!

I have my NT scan in a few hours - I'm looking forward to seeing the baby again
 
Congrats Pink! This is so exciting! :flower:

I'm staying Team Yeloow but I find it sooooo exciting to get to know the genders of others now! Can't wait to read others update their little one's gender as the weeks progress!
 
So we are interviewing for a doula this Wednesday. Does anyone have experience with them? I'm not able to have midwife and I am with a group of OBs so I don't actually have an assigned one.

Also, me and the husband got into it yesterday about who is going to be in the room with us during labor. He has issues. I said I want him, the doula, and my mom in there (in addition to medical personnel of course). He thinks having my mom in there is ridiculous and that no one does that. He thinks that by my mom being in there, his mom needs to be too (which be doesn't want). I was so angry and was basically like I'm the pregnant one. I'll be the one in labor so I'll choose who is in the room. I was like I could chooseyto not even have you in the room. I was so mad.

Doulas are so great. I will be hiring a doula as well. I've had them for both of my previous births. I've tried to get my mom to both of my boys' births, but I have preciptous labors so it has never worked out. My dh is squeemish, so he stays on the other side of the hospital lol. I'd just let your dh know how it would make you feel to have your mom there. Also, your doula might have ideas on how to talk to dh about it.
