I have to have other people in the room. Kevin is not good with blood etc. He honestly gets pale and faint looking just talking about the birth lol.

Oh and kevin called baby a she last night!! Even though he wants a boy! I totally think this babe is a girl :)
 
clynn, my OH is doing the same thing - he keeps referring to "her" or "she". so strange!
 
Lol yeah my DH is not good with blood or goo but he's going to have to deal with it lol. I'll make him watch some videos or something.
 
Omg this movie is cracking me up.

'Fuck! Fuck! Just get me there. I cannot have another contraction in this taxi!!' Lmao.
 
LOL Amanda he was getting pissed at the gingerbread men and stars because they were harder to frost. He did all the bells because they were the easiest haha.

Cassidy, Chad is the same lol. I don't think he could do it on his own in there. And I know exactly what part of the movie you're talking about LOL!

So, for Xmas I bought DH 2 books, Dude, You're Gonna Be A Dad and The baby Owner's Manual lol. Hopefully he'll actually take some time to read them.

My DH read "Dude, youre going to be a dad"... he said it was REALLY good and informative!
 
during the birth it will be DH and Doula. Then just me and DH when it is skin-to-skin (about an hour, DH will call family to tell them they can head over, Doula said she would go get us food). Then after that hour-ish... the family can come in.

Love that.
 
Rachel- those were my thoughts exactly. I really just want it to be me and DH for the birth, I'm going to put my mom on the list of people just bc I feel like at some point I might just want my mom for comfort and then to leave lol. As far as pushing and the actual birth-it's me and DH.

Morgan-can you tell her you're only allowed to have 3 peeps? I can only have 3 on my list, that would be your mom, your sis, and DH. She has to understand how stressful this is going to be for you and that you don't want to add any stress and make it as special as possible. Obviously it's more comfortable to have your hooha out with your own mom instead of MIL!!

My MIL wouldn't even dare to ask-shed know my response.lol

Made my first big Preggo brain mistake yesterday. Transferred 2400$ for the holidays in the WRONG direction. Like from checking into savings instead of the reverse like I had intended. Overdrafted by 1500$ lol-sweet! Luckily I've had the account forever and never defaulted so they reversed it and waived the fee when I said through the tears "ummm, it's December and I'm pregnant, can I get a pass this time"...what a boob.

Chad hasn't called it he or she yet, I think I've slipped up and said he a couple times even though I'm hoping for a girl and think it is one so don't know why lol. My grandma and mom have both been buying girl stuff. My grandma bought a couple baby blankets and sleepers and my mom bought this super soft owl blanket that has a lot of pink on it. She said that hopefully it's a girl but if not then I get a new owl blanket lol
 
Kara- Grrreat idea!!' I'm ttly telling her I'm only allowed to have 3 ppl in there.. Which I don't think is true but an awesome idea to get her to shut up. Although I am 98% sure she'd ask a nurse since she'd be pissed.. I'd prob have to inform the whole staff of my shenanigans.. LOL. Jeez.. I swear..
 
Oh my Kara! At least they fixed it.

Morgan you could tell her that they are limiting the number of people bc of the high risk of the vbac. Make up something that sounds official.

Nikki - you aren't having family there with you for labor?

I plan on having my parents in and out and maybe a close friend but I will reserve the right to boot them out. For the pushing and birth part I only want DH there.
 
Morgan - you mom is the Doula... she HAS to be there to coach you.

You MIL isn't serving a purpose other than stroking her own insecurity.

I think the 3 in the room only is a great idea. Tell the staff asap so they are all clued in...

Make a sign and hang it on the door.

Your mom, as the Doula can enforce. She's your champion in this. She's there to fight the good fight when you don't have it in you anymore.

My MIL, I adore but she's a bad listener, sort of a space-cadet. I think I'd end up screaming at her. I'd almost rather have my SIL (Pete's younger sister) even tho she and I aren't close, she is sort of an earth mother. If we lived in NY there is a good chance I'd ask her to be involved.

I think I'm going to ask both her and MIL to come and decorate the nursery for me. They are both amazing artists (MIL is a painter and SIL is an amazing interior decorator - her website: https://www.nightwoodny.com) and I think it will be a great way to have them involved. Hopefully that'll placate everyone...

No, once Alia is born they can come. I don't need everyone's opinions and feeling like I need to take care of them. I am not good with so many people in my face when I am in pain or trying to focus. Plus I have no idea where to draw the line oh who can come... so I figured no one and then no one can be mad. Plus I want it to be personal between DH and I. I want him to know he is my number 1, not my mom or his mom. When I go into labor and have a change of heart they aren't far away and I can bring them in, but right now I think I want this to be an intimate time for DH and I.
 
Lol... I have totally different labor & delivery views than every last one of you on here. I don't know if it's because this isn't my first or something else. Definitely no offense to you ladies who want something different than me. I'm glad you've all researched it to know exactly what you want and hope you get all your plans fulfilled :)
