Deciding Who Will Attend Your Baby's Birth
By Jessica Williams
Talk with your Caregiver
After you have explored your and your partner's feelings on the matter, it is time to find out what your pregnancy caregiver allows during delivery. It is important to know what they allow, as well as their personal view on having friends and family attend the birth. Because decisions you make about the birth are important to you, it is vital that your caregiver is supportive of your choices.
If you are planning to birth in a hospital or birthing center, you should call ahead and find out what rules or restrictions may apply to your plans. Some hospitals allow only two or three people to accompany the mother, while others allow more. If you are planning a homebirth, discuss who will be attending it with your caregiver.
