Doula and maybe husband, maybe!

My husband. I also would feel too stressed if anyone else was there (personally)

My husband, although I’m considering hiring a doula also. Also, photographer during birth? What? 😳

my partner. i respect the ladies who have family members but there is no way - id never be able to look them in the eyes again 😂

My partner

My fiancé 😊

Just my husband! I couldn’t imagine how stressful it would be with other people in there along with midwives!

Husband, don’t it with just him the first time due to covid and it’s such a precious memory that we have together.. then my mum and his mum will be at home with our son for when we arrive back x

Just my partner and luckily for me he's a photographer so he will have his hands full making sure he documents it 🥰📷

My husband and mum ☺️

My partner and bestfriend ☺️

My mum is my birth partner and the dad (not together) will only be at the birth if its natural. Mum will come in for c section

Partner only ☺️

Just my husband and no chance I’d have a photographer 🤣 I don’t wana see myself like that no one needs to. A nice pic with us and our baby once he’s here is more than enough taken on our phone

My Partner & mum, i think it’s good to have both so then it’s not so much pressure on one person & will always be someone there 😊

Just my partner.

Just my husband! No chance I'm having anyone else - I feel like it'd be too much! X

My husband and my mother in law 😁. Had hubby and my best friend for no.1, hubby and my mum for no.2 and I get on really well with my mil so thought it would be nice for her to see one of her grand babies be born x
