I just had my OH, i knew i would end up arguing with my mum and she said she didnt want to be there anyways as she didnt want to see me in pain.

personally i wouldnt have ur friend there.... i had a friend with me during the early part of my labour and she was dam right annoying going on about how its gunna get alot worse and how her period pain r prob more painful than labour?!?!

I only went into hospital two and a half hours before actually giving birth and spent about 6 hours of labour at home, While I was at home my mum stayed up with me the whole time will my ex slept

then he decided to join me at the hospital I now wish I had just left him asleep and had my mum there the whole time! x

I had my OH and my mom with me when I had Aiden. It actually worked out great that I had my mom with me because my OH fell asleep for an hour.

I also liked that my mom had been through it all before, so actually knew what was going on. lol. Having any of my friends there would have probably drove me up the wall...well, at least if I had the only friend in my area there. She would have been like "my period's so much worse" or "suck it up, it's for a baby" blah blah blah. I probably would have killed her.

This time around, I'm going to have my OH there, for sure, and either my mom or my OH's mom. I would have my mom there, for sure, except she told me she never wants to do it again.

She didn't like seeing me in that much pain, which obviously makes sense.

I was allowed 2 in labour & delivery-- my OH and his mom stayed with me while I was in labour for most of it.. then when it came time to push his mom left and my mom came in. I had to have an emergency c-section and I was only allowed one person in the operating room, so OH came.

I originally only wanted OH to come but then the nurse let my mom stay in the room and I was in too much pain to care. OH was really overwhelmed too so it was nice to have my mom there.

I had my mum with me when i went into labour, i don't think she will ever want to be my birth partner again if i ever have another as i wasnt very nice to her and she held my hand when i was in labour and i ended up scractching her ooops lol.

I'm going to have my grandmother! I'm pretty sure anyone else would drive me up the wall!
