Just to clarify, by "daddy" I mean my baby's daddy, my husband... Not my dad :)
My hospital only allows 3 people in the room during delivery due to safety and distraction reasons. Even so, I'm only letting daddy in the room with me until a good hour after baby is born. I don't want tons of people coming in before I can bond with and feed baby, and get at least a shower and change! Plus they do checks on you after delivery, and I don't want anyone in there while nurses are poking around my business area! Stick to what you are comfortable with or you will just get stressed out. :)
The only person I want in the room is the father. I think its gross for anyone else (family or friends) to be in the room while I birth my child but that's just my opinion. But I want everyone (all friends and baby) to be in waiting room :)
It will just be my fiancée and I. My mom would be in the room but she lives out of state, and is coming when we get out of the hospital to help me at home. A lot of people think its weird I don't want more family or friends. I think it should be an intimate moment for my man and I to meet our baby boy. This is our rainbow baby after losing our daughter.
Thank you all! Now I feel like I'm not being selfish and weird like people keep telling me .
Yes the father will be there too .
I'm doing a homewater birth so iit'll be my midwife, doula, husband, and my mother unless my mother's outta town for work then my aunty will take her place. My mother in law wanted to be there but I don't want everyone in my face while I concentrate so we don't plan on telling them until I'm far into labour and letting them know they can come when baby is out. Same with anyone else those above mentioned are the only 4 people I want there while I birth my child.
Ya i agree with u on that. I knw that some family is guna come see the baby but i dnt want a whole bunch of ppl in the hospital when we are just meeting our baby.
Just tell everyone they are free to visit after baby is born. And you want to just rest and bond with baby when your in the hospital.
Ok. That makes more since!! The way i took it was you want to really be ALONE. Its normal to want your time to yourself. Do you plan on having the father there?
In the room while I'm having him , my grandma , his mom . I mean like after the baby is here I don't want my whole family in the hospital room . I wanna wait til I'm home
My fiancé is gonna be the only one with me. I invited my mom but she said it's a special moment that my fiancé and I should share alone with baby. She'll definitely be in the waiting room, along with my father and possibly brother.
I feel like mom dad and baby need time to bond. And establish a new since of family.
You never know what you will want. untill your there and its happening. I like being alone too.
Im having my boyfriend and my mom in there with me. I dnt want a bunch of ppl in there but my mom and him for support. Plus like taylor said i think he needs to experience it with me
I feel like you may want someone. Its not going to be an easy process. Even if they are in the waiting room. Just tell them you dont want anyone in the room as of now but if you need them you will call. So that way if it does happen where you need somebody they will be there for you.
Also. You never know if the pregnancy is going to be smooth. It could be extremely difficult. Something bad could always happen.
Its going to be me and my boyfriend. Thats all i want. I dont think its right to take the experience away from him.
