I'm definitely only having DH there. I don't even like having my photo taken - I get all shy and insecure, so I can only imagine what effect someone watching me during labour might have. It's not my original quote, but 'birth is not a spectator sport' lol.
I know that people want to share your special moment, but it's not exactly like a wedding - it's more like what happens on the wedding night It's a private and intimate time that should only be shared with the people that you want to be there, because they are going to support you.
Good luck sweets. You are allowed to be selfish at this time - it's important to put yourself and your baby FIRST, not other's people's feelings. People who insist on being there with you when you've clearly stated that you don't want them there are being far more selfish in my opinion.
