Have you made plans for who will visit during your labor/delivery?

I mostly mean who will be there at the hospital with you? Who will stay with you to help you a little after you come home with baby? Who will watch your other children while you are in labor and delivery?


Today, after a little hesitation on my part, I agreed to let me MIL and FIL stay with us for one month from the week I am supposed to be induced until 3 weeks after. I also have a 7 month old and 10 yr old child and I figure it will be nice to have help. So they will fly down and stay with us for a month. I am thankful that they are so kind and caring. But just my husband and I will be going to the hospital and they will stay home and watch the other kids.

If DH and do I become pregnant again, it will be only he and I at the hospital during labor and delivery and the 1st night afterwards then family can come visit. My grandpa will probably come to my house while I'm at the hospital to watch the kids, if it's during the "school year" if not they will go to his house. Depending on how I feel after I come home I'll either have DH and the kids helping or my grandmother.

It will be the same as the my first. I had my mom and dad and my husband. But this time my brother won't be there cause he has his own family now. But he will come when I get home. My whole family was in the waiting room .

Just like my others, just hubs and I for the c section. Everyone else can come the second day. I hate having company on the third day as it is the most painful day for me and I am usually not up for it.

My best friend always bought a ticket to be here for the birth, but they both decided to come early and so she was here the day after I got home from the hospital.

My mom asked not to be in labor and delivery, she didn't want to see me in so much pain. But I am sure she'll come visit as soon as I am home and help with my oldest.

Well like my first with this one anyone will be allowed to visit while I'm in labor but only DH will be in the room for delivery. This time after baby is born DD will be the first family member to come in and see the baby. Then rest of the family can come in.

I haven't made "plans" per say, but I deifnitely know who will be in the room. My sister "S" and my husband. My other sister "K" is across the country, so I don't think it'll be an option. My mom will be at my house with my DD. Anybody is welcome to come visit me so long as everything is ok. I don't plan to be there more than 24 hours after baby is born.

This time for me in the delivery room will be dh, my mom,possibly my sister and my 8 year old daughter (if she wants) I would love for my best friend to be there this time but i dont think they will let so many in lol, we havn't figured out who will watch my son yet and after i come home my dh will be there for the first week plus my mom and sister live here so ill have plenty of help.

My MIL will stay with our two older girls. DH will be at the hospital with me. I'm delivering almost 2 hours away from where we live, so I won't be surprised if my MIL wants to get a motel room with our daughters, but I'm going to ask that they just come up one whole day & then wait for us to come home. My daughters do much better on their schedule!
