Who is your birthing partner?

Just my DH, couldn't stand having anyone else there! Feeling quite uncomfortable about even him seeing me in this awful state tbh, probably silly, but feels like all my dignity will be stripped away and I'm a bit hung up on that atm.

MIL wants to be there, have told her she's got nee chance but she keeps slipping in how it's her only wish to see a grandchild being born, but she'll have to keep on wishing I'm afraid!

I keep saying to krista that I'm embarrassed that she'll see me like that lol. But I'm sure I won't care at the time!

I'm having my OH and my mum there, I'm very close to my mum and I know how much it means to her that I've asked her to be there. I did originally think ill just let it be me and OHs moment but I want her there and my OH is happy for her to be there too xx

I'm banking on that! I think maybe at the time I'll be glad he's there and not care about what he may or may not see.

I am having my OH and my mum. My mum is just going to be there for extra back up. I know she won't intrude and she will let me and the OH have our moment. She may not even make it in time as she lives down in Devon so it would take her at least 4 and half hours to get up here, maybe 4 at a push. xx

It'lljust be me and hubby...same as for Josie's birth...

I've always had a bit of a dilemma with having a 2nd birthing partner though because: my mum passed away when i was 11. My dad remarried my stepmum when i was 16 and she is the loveliest step-mum in the whole world and we are very close. She has never had her own children or been at a birth.

I am also very close to my sister who again has never had her own children (and is not likely to) and never been at a birth.She does have a stepdaugher who is 17 so i guess she might at some point be a birthing partner to he but who knows?!!

SO i really wouldn't be able to choose between either of them! I definately feel that just my hubby will be enough support, but I feel like it's such an amazing experience it would be nice for my sister or step-mum to be part of it...but i just cannot choose between them and wouldn't want the other one to be left out.

My sis is going to be looking after my little girl now which she is excited about so i thinkit's just going to be hubby!!!
