I had only DH when I had No # 1 and he was great, but not the best support person. With #2 I was induced and had a very close girlfriend as well as DH. I personally found the early stages of my second labour to be far more enjoyable as the atmosphere in the room was happy and relaxed. I actually relied more on her through the whole delivery than my DH. She also took photos for us of Cooper actually being born.

I think it is very dependent on you and your DH. It is a very important time in your life and it is entirely different for everyone. Most couples I know have just DH and are really happy with that. I chose to have someone else there for me as a bit of distraction, I had full confidence in my OB, so I was not concerned about what I wanted as he was fully aware that I did not want an epidural etc.

Goodluck with your bubba!
