[quote=Anonymous]I had both sets of grandparents standing by as well as close friends, but I didn't want any of them around me while I was giving birth. They were just extremely unhelpful to me at that time (why be in pain? Get an epidural. I don't know why you're bothering to push, just get a csection, etc). I did have DH, but he was on work travel until week 38 all 3 times so I was prepared to go alone. I had worked out the scenarios (calling an uber if I was in labor, dropping my kids at my friend's house). The nurses and your OB are your best friends while giving birth. I know a few 2nd time moms who hired babysitters while they were in labor. Bringing your kids to the hospital is unacceptable. [/quote]
