Re: when i have a baby...
It was only H and I in the room this time and it was wonderful.
Next time I want to use a midwife and deliver at a birth center instead of the hospital.
I want to do this or at home, but I'm scared. I have 2 friends who did and everyone else got drugs and thinks it's crazy. Did you deliver w/o any drugs?

When the time comes i'll be delivering at a birthing center (or possibly at home, but probably not). When i picture it, i don't picture anyone else there... but i hadn't really thought about it.
Best sound ever: baby's heartbeat! (Heard @ 10w1d)
my currently-reading shelf:
ETA: I don't think I could ever do a home birth. I have a friend who has had 2 already and she highly recommends it. Maybe when I have a house that is mine I would feel comfortable doing it. Right now because I rent I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. Plus my apartment is tiny.
DH and the doula. My opinion is, if you're not medical staff (doula counts) or directly involved in the creation of the baby, you don't need to be there; we'll call you when we're ready for you to visit. :P
I don't even want people in the waiting room; knowing they're there would stress me the eff out.
hopefully DH can handle it (he does not do well with blood, or hospitals at all. like, faints completely, doesn't do well.)
only other person besides him would be my sister.

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
What about the dr.
haha
Pretty much for family it will be just DH.. absolutely no one else. If we can avoid it at all costs family won't even know we've gone in.

I only want H to be in the room. And yes, the doctor/midwife.

This, I would want to wait for things to settle down a little after the birth before we call the grandparents to let them know. They all live too far to come for the birth, imo.

the medical staff goes without saying...
No way! DH wants cameras, video..I don't expect this to be a very pretty scene and I don't want any cameras AT ALL during the labor and delivery. Pictures right after, sure. During, NO WAY!
I had about 15 people in the room with my birth. But that's because I had an emergency c-section, so lots of people saw my naked/exposed body, and I had no say.
That being said, if all had gone according to plan, it was supposed to be just DH and I until after baby was born.
