Who do you want in the birthing room?

i really want my OH in the room with me when i deliver, but he faints at the sight of blood (even from a papercut) so duno how he'd handle labour and birth !!!!

my mum and i aren't close but im hoping we get closer through my pregnancy so she could be there bt as she lives in england and me in scotland that could be difficult.

Deffo want my dad there though, he's been there for everything for me so far so makes sense, we r rly close too and he trained as a nurse so think it wont be that big a shock for him to deal with labour ... might have to ask him though :-) but he was there for my big sister and her 3 births so don't see why it would be any different.
 
i only want my OH in the room with me!! My dad and nan and pop are flying over to be there, but ill just ask them to stay in the waiting room i think! Oh's mum is going to OH's brothers wedding (thank god) and i dont think i would be comfortable with anyone else in the room xox
 
Im just going to be having the fob in the room with me. We're both expecting him to faint but Ive told him I dont mind lol. My mum won't be too far away so if I do decide I want an extra person there I can. It'll be nice to just share the moment with the fob though. :)
 
i had my OH and my mum.
OH parents chose to stay out of the room.
and my dad wanted no part in labor.
 
I like the idea of just having my OH but because I'm a little nervous I'm gonna have my mum there too. My experiences with MW's throughout this pregnancy haven't been too good so I would feel uncomfortable doing it without my mum there for reassurance :) xx
 
I'll have my mom and OH in there with me during labor and delivery. But my mom has promised that right after she gets to hold her 1st grandbaby, she's gonna leave me and OH alone and she'll make sure to keep everyone else OUT til I say they can come in and see me and baby.
 
Just my mum and my Oh.. i wouldn't want anyone else to see me like that!! :( xxxx
 
My mum and FOB. i dont know what i would do without my mum. Its her first grandchild and i want her to be one of the first people to see her. But when she has seen her, held her and took pictures she is going home to leave me and FOB on our own with her xx
 
my mum and OH (if his mum doesnt bolt the door on him - she is a class a b**ch)
 
I think I'm just going to have OH and my mom. OH's mom definitely won't be in there.
 
i'll have just my mum there while im in labour but for delivery i dont want anyone there.
 
wow i wouldnt be able to deliver on my own - im a whimp and want one person either side of me!!
 
i just wanna be left to it. i dont want to be seen in such an undignified way :haha: and i dont see how anyone being there can help. maybe im just weird lol.
 
aww birth isn't undignified it's beautiful .. i'd feel so lonley having Leni by myself xx
 
It will just be me and my OH, as it was with the other 2, it's such an amazing time, and soo personal, that's why I want to share it with just my OH, it's our moment IMO!
 
I'm just having my mom and my OH .. anybody else would be embarassing.. I don't want my mom anywhere but near my top half as it is lol
 
Yeah all I want is my mom on one side and FOB on the other thats it. Everyone who wants to wait can stay in the waiting room though.
