i wont be co sleeping, i dont think its bad if you want to but i think i'd personally just be a bit too worried and it wouldnt feel right. And that's with me on my own, i definitely wouldnt want to do it with OH in bed too, but thats just me... LO will be in the room with me but not in my bed
My OH sleeps in the bed but I don't put baby between us. I don't even let him co-sleep with Thomas. I woke up once knowing something was wrong and my OH had pulled up the duvet over his head in his sleep. IMO men just don't have the same instincts as us mums.
I was exactly the same though when I was pregnant and when my son was first born. I did not like the thought of co-sleeping at all. I started co-sleeping because my LO was very ill in hospital at 2 weeks old and one night he would not settle so I had to co-sleep (we were given a private room as Thomas was so young and had no immunisations). I had the bed guards up and pillows stuffed down the sides so he couldn't fall out. Best sleep ever and I describe how lovely co-sleeping is.
I'm not trying to pressure you into it but you may feel different when LO arrives x
