If I have a second, it will have to be within the next three years before we move again, otherwise I'll have to fly her out to wherever we are to attend my second :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192187 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 06:22:58 +0000 heffalump 192187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sister or mil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192179 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 04:57:41 +0000 Andrea 192179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doula </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192177 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 04:55:01 +0000 mediagirl 192177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If my husband couldn't be there, I probably would have just leaned on the nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192175 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 04:47:06 +0000 SugarplumsMom 192175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If my DH couldn't be there, I'd have a doula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192150 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 00:25:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 192150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either my MIL or one of two of my SsIL...one is my BF, the other is a nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192130 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 22:58:00 +0000 MrsBrewer 192130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably no one. I really want it to only be DH and I and hospital staff obviously. I just think it is the most important time for a couple, and I couldn't imagine my focus being on anyone else besides DH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192107 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 22:11:28 +0000 Grace 192107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I think a doula. My sister would be the obvious choice, but somehow I'm not loving that idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192098 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 22:05:35 +0000 Sweet T 192098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably hire a doula. I can't think of anyone else who would actually be calm through everything. I didn't even want my mom to be there when I was in labor with DS. I knew she'd be all in my face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192091 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 21:50:23 +0000 mrs. bird 192091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm. I'm not sure of anyone other than DH or my mom. Maybe a doula, but I'd have a hard time paying for one since my mom works in maternity &amp; would be able to be a great support person. Def not MIL, she stresses me out. Maybe my non baby loving BFF (I have 2, one loves babies, one never wants any), I think she'd be good at keeping me calm distracting me when I need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192058 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 20:57:18 +0000 HLK208 192058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any of my 3 sisters--actually I had one of my sisters in the delivery room when my first was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-192025 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 19:49:47 +0000 Arden 192025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a doula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-191999 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 19:14:36 +0000 JessicaMcB 191999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doula Lisa for sure. She's such a chill lady :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-191980 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 19:01:21 +0000 skibobrown 191980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister... and definitely a doula. My sister was present at my daughter's birth, and even though she was clearly kind of nervous, she was a great support person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-191964 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 18:54:28 +0000 cyneswith 191964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a doula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-191963 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 18:53:53 +0000 MamaMoose 191963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BFF. She's really calming and supportive and a mom. Actually... I might pick her before my mom. I love my mom but sometimes she really stresses me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-191955 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 18:50:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 191955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had both my mom and DH there, my sister was supposed to be there but didn't make it on time. She was about 45 minutes late lol! So her for sure :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-191932 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 18:39:52 +0000 Running Elley 191932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-would-be-your-childbirth-support-person#post-191930 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 18:38:42 +0000 autumnlove 191930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you couldn't pick your Mom or SO...who would you want by your side at the hospital? I would probably pick my MIL or BFF.</p> <p>How about you? </p>
