who was in the birth room with you?

With my first, it seemed like everyone and their mom was in there with me when I was giving birth. This time around, i'd like it to be a little more private.. just my hubby and I. I guess I have a "fear" of people getting upset with me because they won't be in there when this naby is born. Mainly my best friend and my mom. I don't want them to geel unimportant, I just want more privacy this time. Please share your thoughts on this one.. thanks  :)

With my first it was just me and my husband. My mom was a little hurt, however this is something special between my husband and I and our growing family. We plan on having it just be inly him and I again.

And him because its less crazy and we got to.bond sk much better with the baby when she came. This time around im not even telling anyone till we're heading home from the hospital. Because for me Im all aboit the bonding time with both baby and daddy. Not to mention having mh two others bond with the baby too.

With my daughter, believe it or not I was the last one to hold her!! Right after she came out, I jad that amazing mix of emotions going through me all at once, and my good friend at the time had her face inches away from mine and was crying directly into my face, I was annoyed and overwhelmed. So that scares me from having friends in the room.

I hear ya! Mom's are the best. I have been changing my mind constantly about whether or not I want visitors. The first time I felt like I had no time to bond with my baby because people kept coming and going. It was very frustrating.

My hubby and my mom. My husband tried his hardest to comfort me, but my mom was the one who really seemed to know what to say to keep me calm.
