I only had DH and medical people. DH and I are very close and I'm much more comfortable around him than any female friends or family members.

It was interesting, DH wasn't at all squeamish about the c/s birth. He stood up and watched and took pictures over the screen. The part he found difficult was seeing me in pain during the labour.

He probably wasn't as good an advocate for me as he could have been. One midwife was trying to take the gas away from me and it would have been nice if he said something. I guess that is where a doula would come in handy.
