My birth team was my Doula, my DH and my Mum. It was a fantastic choice and my hubby wanted to do it the same this third time around. Having a few people gives them each a bit of a break without leaving you on your own - they can tag team with the massage and support! I had my hubby cos, well, he's my hubby! I had my doula as I wanted her knowledge and backup (as I had a VBac last time). THis time my DH said that we definately had to have a doula again and I agreed as she was soooo helpful. I had my Mum as it's always good to have your mum around when you are in pain!
You definatley only want a birth team that you feel comfortable with though.
