I'd like to have my mom there as well but she thinks it should be something between just me and DH. I may ask her still if she will be there during labor but leave during the delivery, I think it would be nice to have a backup person for DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-43539 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:10:10 +0000 tequiero21 43539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hopefully, just my hubby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-43488 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:39:13 +0000 ALittleP 43488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking about DH (obviously!), and maybe my mom. I'm also thinking of a doula to help out too. If not, than just my DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-43207 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 10:23:52 +0000 chopsuey 43207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my mom and DH in the delivery room with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-43204 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 10:22:53 +0000 venice4504 43204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just DH. I am VERY happy with my decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-43199 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 10:20:40 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 43199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just us, and I second what Mamamoose said. If you want your mom but not your MIL, everyone just needs to deal with it. There's nothing more personal than birth and it should be your decision and yours only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-43187 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 10:13:45 +0000 Clementine 43187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just DH. I don't think my mom will get there in time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-19025 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 22:11:16 +0000 MamaMoose 19025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs and my mom. NOT my MIL. I have no guilt about having a double standard between my mom and my MIL. I'm the one pushing a baby out of me so I expect everyone will respect my wishes with no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-19012 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 21:42:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 19012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Besides the midwife my husband, mom, and mil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-18615 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:51:44 +0000 mrsjyw 18615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH. maybe my mom and MIL (nurse)... but most likely just DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-18386 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 09:57:59 +0000 cyneswith 18386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband, definitely (if he's not deployed.) My midwife. My mom and MIL will be invited. My mom because, well, she's my mom, and my MIL because she's vaginally delivered 5 babies (first was without pain meds), so she kind of knows the drill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-18362 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 09:11:16 +0000 MH.Abroad 18362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH. That's it. I might have a doula that's also my best friend, but I'm considering not using her and getting a doula I don't know. Just because I'm really private and modest and I'd prefer someone I'm never going to see again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-18328 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 06:45:50 +0000 loveisstrange 18328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and possibly a female friend since my mother can't be here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-18268 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 01:01:12 +0000 autumnlove 18268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only want my DH in the room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-13924 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 11:37:52 +0000 safdxb 13924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only plan on having DH there. I'm surprised by how many people have assumed they would be in the delivery room, and were actually hurt when I told them otherwise. I have made it very clear that the delivery is about me, DH and our new baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-13843 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 10:15:35 +0000 Mrs. D 13843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just my DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-13842 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 10:14:40 +0000 eupenmalmody 13842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH and my mom.

She's always been paranoid about being me hurt (she won't even let me chop vegetables when we make dinner together), so I don't know how she would react to labor pains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-13773 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 08:36:50 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 13773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This time around, just the hubs and I and the nurse obviously. Unless the hub gets nervous and scared and wants me to call my mom again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-13623 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:13:17 +0000 cyndistar3 13623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just me my husband, the midwife and her assistant :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-13616 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:08:19 +0000 MsMini 13616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will just have me and my DH. My mom doesn't have much interest in being in the room anyways, she thinks it should be just the husband in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-13615 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:07:11 +0000 mrsjazz 13615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still have to find out what the hospital limit is. Definitely my DH and our doula, my mom, and my sister. If the limit is just two people, than only my DH and our doula. My mom is going to freak if that's the case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-13603 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:38:02 +0000 mommytobee 13603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just my husband. My mom was a little bit hurt, but he and I both feel that if she's in the room, she'll take over and DH won't have a role in what is one of the most important days in his life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-13602 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:35:42 +0000 skibobrown 13602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs will be with me and maybe my sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-are-you-having-in-the-delivery-room#post-13598 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:26:56 +0000 junebugmama 13598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will only have DH in the room.
