I have been reading a lot about your support person and am becoming a little bit concerned that it seems necessary to have a birth attendant with you. I have always thought it would just be myself and my husband..but now I feel like I am misinformed about needing to have someone else there who is on "our side" (ie is not the rostered doctor or midwife). I am going to a private hospital and am really happy with my doctor and I know my husband will be supportive...isnt that all I need?! What does everyone else think?
I may be 20 weeks but it's a lot to think about!!
