Don't go there. My father in law insisted in staying with me. He held my hand and made jokes. I really wanted him to leave, but he wouldn't. I'm glad he stayed. DR went out for tacos or something and his dad stayed with me. I sure miss his dad.

I didn't even want to be there when I gave birth. Too much crying and crapping on the table.

Has confinement issues..
It was just me and my mom the first time. The doctor wasn't even there.
The second time, I had really wanted my friend Gerald there because he never got to see his kids born or raised and we were so close that I would have felt totally confortable with him. We dated for a time after my son was born an to this day he's super attached to him. I think it's a shame that some fathers who want to experience that stuff never get to.
Anyway, my son's delivery was like giving birth in a bus station.. I must have had 20 people in and out that day, from the flower shop where my pool team captain worked to the girls from the bar that worked in the SMH finance office. My best friend holding my leg up over her shoulder and my mom just kinda waiting to catch this one like she had to the last time.
Having babies was fun!!
Thank the gods it's over

It was just my best friend/roommate/birth coach and my mother in the room when I was in labor. I had to have an emergency C section, so just my best friend/roommate/birth coach was in the room with me (of the people I actually knew). They had to open up a rarely used OR for me, so the people on that floor came out in droves to watch my C-section... There were no fewer than 20 people in the OR and at least 10 more watching in the windowsIt was just me and my mom the first time. The doctor wasn't even there.

Wow!! Like a freak show!!
The way I see it, with all I've been though with endometriosis, tumors, ovarian cysts, cancer scare, child birth and nervous breakdown, I could care less who looks.
During one surgery, I must have talked so much crazy shait that they sent a shrink in to talk to me. This fool taxed me 200 bucks to walk in and be told that he can go #### himself.
I call his office regularly to express my distaste for him and to remind him that I"ll not be paying for a "service" I did not request or that was nessecary to my life.
Shrinks are scammers.

My 2nd child was a Vbac baby and well, when I was in labor with her it was my husband and my mom and the usual suspects. Well, the labor was not progressing like it should, the baby would not come down. So they decided I was going to have to have a C-section again. So they juiced me up with the epidural to the point that they could have cut me in half and I wouldn't have known it. When they had the OR set up and ready for me the nurse came back in and said I am going to check for that baby one more time.
She did, and the baby was down in position!! So I started pushing within 1 minute the entire OR team was in the room applauding me and cheering me on!
My modesty went out the window that day!

What love is all about
I would rather them not be in the room but heck if they happened to be in the room when it is time to push I can tell you I would not care at that point. With my first I did not want a lot of people in the room but, it was a teaching hospital. My doctor was a resident so he had two doctors in there with him overseeing him as well as my husband, a doula, and like two or three nurses. I could have cared less at that point who seen I just wanted the baby out.

If I ever have a baby I'm only allowing my husband to be in the room. No way in hell I want my parents or in-laws in there.
With my babies the only person allowed in the room (other than hospital staff of course) was the other person involved in the conception!
With my 1st, I had visitors in and out all day...
I pushed for a couple hours, with only my mom and my husband in the room, to no avail. I had a c-section that night with my husband in the OR with me. He did well, considering his weak stomach...
Second time around [scheduled c-section/twins] he came in the OR with me as well.

Throwing the deuces
Just hubby and I for both kid's births. Hubby read me Car and Driver magazine while I pushed #1 out and I was so far along (7cm - and feeling no pain for some reason) with #2 that he basically "fell" out when I got to the hospital. No one knew I had even had him. The doctor went to check me and he was already half-way out.
