Hi guys - I'm probably getting way ahead of myself, but it's a question I've been pondering for a while.

I'm due in Feb and my parents are going to be overseas, which means we won't have anyone to look after DD who will be 9 years old.

She has asked if she can be with us during the birth, but I'm not sure what effect seeing me going through labour will have.

Has anyone else had their children attend the birth??? Did it scar them for life??? :eek:

Maybe it'll remind her to hold off having any of her own until she's MUCH older...!!??

I'd really appreciate your views on this one.
