I'm not a person that deals with pain very well, I'm nervous that if I even had my husband in the room with me during childbirth I might end up kicking him out and saying mean things. When you gave birth or if you do in the future, who would you want in the room with you? Please share any life experiences on this topic. Thanks.

Me with my daughter I had my husband and my parents in my room during delivery. I did at one point tell my dad to shut up and my husband to rub my back. This time with my son since he is my second child I was more ready and know how to handle the pain better. So I didn't tell anyone to shut up. But this time I only had my husband in the room with me along with the nurse. I don't think I could go through labor with out him. He stood by my side through 16 hour of labor with one child and 6 hours with our other child. He even both times held my legs. He loved being in the room in with me and telling to push and giving me soothing inspiration to bring both of your children in to the world.

Yes right now without being in labor I also think I'd want him in the room with me, I wonder if I'd change my mind during intense contractions though. I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world if I asked him to leave the room for a few minutes every once in awhile, I can see myself doing that.

The thing is when your in labor you won't always know when your going to have a contraction unless your on a monitor if your not on one your going off of what you feel and when your in transition and starting to push contractions are normally right on top of each other there really isn't much of a break between them.
Me I would never send my husband out of the room I don't care if I"m swear at him or not the doctors have seen and heard it all and the guys understand it's not a good feeling having a baby come outside of a women. Now if your scared of the pain then I would take pain killers other wise your not going to be comfortable. Me I have a high pain threshold so I can take it. I've delivered both of my children naturally with no pain killers. All I did was breath right all of the contractions and distracted myself. Talking to the nurse that was in the room with me this time seemed to help. Actually even my doctor was very surprised that I went with another all natural birth with no pain killers when I was having a bigger baby about 2lbs bigger then my last and I was so calm and everything. I had my husband stay through the whole thing and I would be upset if he didn't say with me even if I was mad at him.

I don't want to go through this but if I was I would have my husband in the room just so I could yell at him and say it's all his fault I'm in this position and pain, then I'd kill him 
OK not really but I could imagine if I was in that much pain I'd say things along those lines

When I gave birth, I was just by myself and of course, there were the nurses and my OB Gynecologist. My husband, my mom, dad and my brother was just outside waiting for the baby to be delivered.
It was scary, yes, but after seeing my baby, it was ALL worth it!
