WHO DO YOU WANT TO HAVE IN YOUR LABOR ROOM WITH YOU?

Choosing who to have in your labor room is a deeply personal decision that can shape your birth experience. It’s important to consider who makes you feel most supported, safe, and empowered. For some, this might be a partner or a close family member; for others, it could be a trusted friend, a doula, or even just the medical team. The key is to surround yourself with people who respect your wishes and help create a calm and positive environment.

It’s also worth discussing your preferences with your care provider to ensure they align with your birth plan. Some may prefer a more private setting with minimal people, while others might find strength in having a larger support network present. Ultimately, the decision is yours, and it should reflect what will make you feel most comfortable and supported during this transformative time.
