My husband and mom was with me for my first delivery, but the next 3 only my husband only because my mom doesn't like seeing me in pain. This delivery my kids want to be apart of it so it should be interesting

With my first it was my husband, mom, mil & my sister snuck in. With my second it was just me. Personally, i didnt feel uncomfortable cause i was focused on my daughter being born. The nurses were extremely helpful in coaching me the second time. They held my hand & told me when to push. Its like you lose that feeling of being shy or uncomfortable with everyone looking at your hoo-hah.

I couldn't imagine my mom or daughter or anybody besides my man and midwife there.

For my first, I had my husband my mom and my mother in law and one very experienced nurse (until the doctor came in).  I was worried it would be awkward, but at that point on time I really didn't care.  However, my husband was annoyed because they started snapping pics immediately. He felt like our baby was ambushed with flashing cameras.  I'm pregnant now due in October and we're going to try it with just me and my husband this time.

I had my mom grandmother and husband in the room. I loved it because my mom and grandmother knew what to say and my husband just did as he was told ;) haha

I had my fiance, my mom and my dad in there. It was kinda funny because my dad had planned to leave as soon as the doctors came in but when they came there was like 4 or 5 and my dad got stuck in the corner just looking out the window haha

I'm with my first and I can say personally I don't anyone else in the room except for my husband. Even though my mother in law wants other wise, I don't really care what she wants I feel it's important to take care of me for once and if you're in a similar situation it's okay to say no to what others want and put you first. It's not selfish and no one should make you feel that it is

I had my mother, sister and partner in the room.
My partner & I are the "knocked up" couples (except we stayed together) because we were trying to make things work out I needed my sister there to help neutralize the situation,she's my best friend so she knew me best at the time. My mother and I aren't that close but she wanted to be there so again my sister helped with that too lol

This next time I believe it'll be just my partner in the room while my mom watches my 2year old. My sister will try to make it but because she's a cop she's not sure what her schedule will be like until the day of.

i just wanted hubby with me as i was nervous and afraid that anyone else wouldve stressed me out. I was 19 and even though i had taken the prenatal classes and done tons of research I was still super nervous. But everything went pretty smooth as far as labor can go. I had one super nurse who was just amazing, and then and another nurse who was there to take care of baby, and then my dr to help deliver.

It wasn't uncomfortable, like above said, you really don't care who see's what at that point lol. I tried to tell hubby that he should stay at waist level and above but when the dr announced that she could see the head, he took it upon himself to check it out. I was a little miffed about that later, but really I was just so excited to share this moment with him and baby, it was wonderful.
