Has anyone ever been in the labor and delivery room with a loved one? *UPDATE IN RED*

 My sister calls me this morning and ask If i will be there with her tomorrow morning for her induction.  I told her yes but I'm a little nervous lol.  I never been in L&D with anyone before that had a baby other then me of course lol.  Well, to anyone whose been in L&D with a loved one how was it?  I think I might end up crying when the baby comes out lol!

 *UPDATE*Today my sister had her baby 6lbs 11oz.  It was the most amazing and beautiful experience!  I was so happy to have been a part of it.  It wasn't as gross like how some people make it sound.  Thanks ladies for yall advise it was worth it being there!

You think it's amazing when you have one??? See someone else go through it. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed in my life.  And yes, you will cry when the baby is born :)

Just support her the way you wanted to be supported.  I think the best people to be in there is someone who has gone through it themselves.  Other than the doctors of course, lol.

Yeah, I was there when my sister in law and both of my sisters gave birth, along with my best friends birth.

Well, I was in the room with my (well, at the time) BFF while she was having her baby. It was different though, she was giving her son up for adoption. I was there the entire time. Helped her get through the contractions, when she got an epidural, when she pushed...I cut the baby's cord. I cried so much...because I had just had my son 4 months earlier and I just couldn't imagine giving him up for adoption. I remember how much he weighed, how long he was....he was so beautiful. When my friend didn't want to hold her son, that just broke me down. Her son was born in 2007 and I can still remember that day moment for moment.

Just be there for your sister...talk to her, help her through contractions....you'll do fine. It's VERY different being on the flip side though.

I have seen several other babies being born by friends and family and it is the most awesome experience ever.  Definitely do it!  I think everyone should experience it.

I was in the delivery room when my sister was born.  I was 5, yikes!  I was also in the room when a friend of mine had her's.  I say go for it.  Don't pass up the chance to be her support and watch a new life come into the world.  It's an amazing experience and yes you will cry, but who wouldn't cry?

I was in the room when my sister had her son, this was before I even got pregnant and it was very emotional because I had been trying to get pregnant for 2 years and she was younger than me. But I was very happy for her and it was an awesome experience. I got pregnant 3 weeks later :)
