yup must say I am really not all that fussed about who is there aslong as they were supportive and loving, so I would do a village birth to hehehehe, having sad that with my first I did not want many people there I was so worried about my mum looking at me 'down there' LOL but by the end I was like yeah come on in the more the merrier as I really just could not have cared less, I still think its a personel choice of course and it has got to be something you are comfortable with.
ETA Naomi54 I just read your posts, I think you have made the right decission, I think you will need your mum there and she will also help to support Rick and I know my mum would not expect to be there in the room with you or at all, its lovely that you have thought of her but please dont feel any guilt as I know she wont be offended or upset, I lnow she will want to rush down there and meet her new grandson asap as she will be so overjoyed and excited, but yeah having your mum is very important as I know you are feeling nervous and she will help you with that and well she has done it 4 times now so she knows what she's doing and her births were not all 20 plus years ago so I am posative she will be a wonderful support for you.

lol Naomi I know how you feel a few ppl I haven't liked that have come near me he's fluffed up and turned into a bit of a feral cat, he always sleeps hugging me and lately has been very overly protective of my stomach and lays across it which isn't very comfortable lol.
If worse comes to worse I would tell everyone that you don't know what you want and want to start with having everyone outside and will ask for ppl if you want them there, if they get offended then tough. I know i will probably want my mum there but dad would automatically follow in tow and I wouldnt be impressed with that, it's your time, your moment, YOU decide :-)
