s/o Poll: Who's gonna be your posse?

Ceventa · April 2009

Mrs. Rod's confession got me wondering...

When your time comes for the delilvery room, who do you want to be there for the action?

Or if you have already had kids, who did you have there?

Ceventa · April 2009

I want my husband and that's it! LOL

During labor, I know I'm going to definetly want my mom there, and my sister. But during the actual birthing part, just my husband. When I'm in pain I get extremely cranky and anything annoys the crap out of me, so as little people as possible is my idea.

Mrs_Rod · April 2009

I'm sure I'm going to have the typical latin family thing. Everyone in the freakin' waiting room will be my family!!! Q' pena!! But I only want my mom and husband there during everything. Reason for my mom is b/c she's a very strong woman and I need someone like that encouraging me and keeping me strong and sane. Or as sane as I can be. Plus, DH gets all weird when he sees me in pain. He can barely stand me having MS. I have a feeling he's gonna faint.

DH and no one else, thank you very much. During the actual labor, I don't think I would want anyone else in there either.

My mom gets on my nerves easily;
my sisters are too young, and I feel too immature (nothing against them... they just wouldn't know what to do);
my dad didn't exprience me and my sisters births, so he has no exprience, and would get weirded out too.
I guess I would like my best friend (a doctor) but she lives OOT, so not very feasible.

So, again, it is Dh and I... we go through everything together, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Just me and H. Everyone else is OOT (except for my 17 y/o sister who lives with me), so I don't have to worry about people inviting themselves into the delivery room.

My husband and my mom will be the only ones allowed.

JennyLo26 · April 2009

I haven't even begun to think of babies, let alone who will be with me at my delivery, but hearing these stories I think I have to agree with Jackie- just my DH!

Virginny · April 2009

Well since we're in Florida and my family is in Jersey and DH's family is in Michigan.......I'm guessing it's going to be DH and myself. If time allows his mom would probably fly in for the birth. I'd like my mom to be there, too, but that would be challenging unless I was being induced. Eh, when the time comes....I'm sure God will have a plan.

I had my husband and both of my parents in the delivery room for both of my kids. My whole family was in there while I labored, but I had an epidural, so labor wasnt this horrible process for me. I loved having my parents and my husband in the room, I had the first grandbaby, so it was a special moment for everyone. And when I say my parents were in the room, they were in a corner, no where near where the baby comes from.

If we were going to have kids it would just be DH and myself. I'm sure my MIL would want to be in there but I wouldn't let her. But I don't have to ever make that decision b/c I can't have kids. Smile

Claire&Mike51907 · April 2009

I definitely want DH and my mom in the room, and no one else. My mom has to be in the room with me. She's a retired nurse/mammographer and is on top of the medical stuff if something should go wrong. Also, they are the only two people who can calm me down whenever I freak out over pain (I'm such a baby when it comes to pain).

mjz · April 2009

I'm thinking just DH. I could see myself wanting my mom there at the last minute, though. Sometimes you just want you mom.

I guess we'll figure it out when the time comes!

southmiamiwifejen · April 2009

Just DH for delivery. I don't mind if other family members (parents, ILs, cousins, etc.) come in the room during labor as long as I am semi-comfortable (don't really want them to see me screaming and groaning and writhing in pain), but I don't want them in there when I actually deliver.

doris03 · April 2009

Just DH and my sister. I posted a few months ago about MIL inviting herself to be there when we told her that we were pregnant and I nipped that in the bud immediately!
