At my hospital we're only allowed two in the delivery suite. at this point in time I'm only having DH, but I'm seriously thinking of asking my Mum to come with me. I think she could be a bit of a calming influence for DH if he freaks out about how much pain I'm in. Anyway's the hossy also has a policy about family waiting round till the birth. They are not allowed to hang round, but have to wait till visiting hours to come and see Peanut. This is killing my parents as they really want to be there to meet their first grandchild as soon as they can. but unfortunately not much I can do about the whole hospital policy.
