our pbmom didnt want us in the delivery room but wanted us at the hospital to be with thebaby after the birth. she had chosen to not interact after the birth w/ the baby or us. she stayed on a different floor and sent a friend up to check on the baby and make sure he was doing well. at the last minute our bmom invited us into the deliveryroom right before the baby was born. my dh cut the cord and i got to hold the baby first. what an amazing experience. we were just quiet and let the bmom call the shots and were grateful to her for letting us be involved in the experience in what ever way she felt comfortable.
our next pbmom has invited us into the delivery room and i have invisioned every moment in my mind. will it end out that way? i doubt it, but it is fun to think about. i think the best thing is to remember it is their birth, their baby, their time and we are just guests. if everything works out the way we hope we will have years with the new baby. good luck and just roll with her wishes.
