Question for moms of older children
My daughter will be 12 soon, she has expressed deeply on how she wants to be present through the entire labour and delivery of her youngest sister. She would like to be as involved as she possibly can; she would like to “catch” her baby sister.
Any moms have their eldest help deliver baby, and if so what’s your story?
This will be my third natural birth but I am nervous I may not be able to control how loud I get or that it may be too intense. Or that I may not fulfill her expectations...
I would like this to not only go as smooth for me and baby as possible for labour. But I want it to be a positive experience she’ll remember as that for ever...

@sabrinab95, She can be there (the youngest can as well if we wish) Shes also able to physically deliver if she’d like, I checked with midwife long ago :)
Ive never been in this situation, but explain to her about your past experiences. And just be honest about the pain, and sounds that you might make. If she is still intrested in being apart of the birth thats fantastic. I would also have someone there waiting in case it got to intense for her that she could go and wait until after the birth.
My friends oldest daughter wanted to be there for her as well, my friend wasn’t sure at first because of her being only 13 but she told her daughter if you want to that’s fine. But when she got to the hospital they wouldn’t allow her daughter in. Most hospitals in Canada have rules about the L&D room they ask for people to be over 16 years old. If you want her there check with the hospital first
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

@samanthalynnshaw21, Thanks! My mother will be at the hospital with the younger. We’ve watched birthing videos, we’ve definitely talked above it all, she’s also been to appointments; she feels prepared lol I’m just hoping to hear other stories of those that have experienced this :) alittle insight I suppose of the expectations vs. Reality of the actual experience
