How do you decide who you want with you when you give birth?

Cupid’s Advice:

It’s not always clear who should be with you in that hospital room when it’s finally time for the baby’s arrival.  Cupid has some advice:

1. Focus: During childbirth you’ll want all the focus on you.  Make sure to choose people who are able to focus on you entirely during the birth as support.  Perhaps choose a sibling or parent.

2. Coach: Just because you want your partner there doesn’t mean you have to have them there as your coach during the birth.  Have someone else important to you take on that role if your sweetheart isn’t quite ready to be around the action.

3. Friends/family: Beyond having a coach and your partner there during the birth, you may want some other people present during the birth such as your mother.  Have them there for a reason though, as childbirth is not a show and they should know they’re there as a support team.
