[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,
Sorry I didn't explain things well.
It's all happening in their home, she's going to have one of those kiddie pools.
She has a midwife,not sure about a doula, she mentioned it but don't know if she's decided on it.
She has said he's going to be in the pool with her. She's planning to be sitting on his lap to ease contractions. She wants me by her side.
As for nudity I'd say it's 100% likely she'll be naked  and maybe 50/50  with him, they are both freespirit types and she has said she has had  to remind him to get fully dressed  before family visits.
I don't know if the same rules apply during L &D.

Maybe her midwife has a policy. I don't know/ Don't know much about homebirths in general.

Well if she were giving birth in a hospital she very well could be naked then too.  I'd just prepare yourself to see your BIL naked.  It sounds like he doesn't care much, so why should you?

I do think it's ok to tell her you aren't sure you are the best support, but that you are happy to be there.  Again, talk to the midwife about it.

Do your research, talk to the midwife, and figure out a way you can both support your sister and clutch your pearls too.[/quote]
