That’s sounds so special! How old was she?

I had a friend who had her oldest in the room when she had her second and he was only 16 months at the time and she said it was fine. I really do think it depends on the child. My son is very loving and caring and he’s been anticipating this moment for a while I think it’s important to make him feel involved.

@diazalexia25, My son is the same age as ur son, he is three to 🙂👌🏼I think there ain’t nothing wrong, with having ur first child with u while u go into labor with ur 2nd baby❤️🎀🙌🏼😍🥰 I agree

He’s only been away from us once since being born. & I know if I send him with family he will be fine. I just feel like if he wants to stay overnight with us I shouldn’t force him to leave. I want him to feel apart of this I mean it’s going to be a big change in his life and I want him to feel involved. Idk maybe I am crazy and yes there will be family there at the hospital who can take him to have a snack or something while I’m actually pushing I wouldn’t want him to see all of that but Idk I just want him there. It will be our last moments as a family on three and idk to me it just seems important to be together

@diazalexia25, it might or might not be crazy, it’s your story, you have to do what feels right to you! I love how close you are with your son. That’s so sweet.

I mean it’s kind of hard to have set plan it’s labor and I can’t really predict how anything will go. When I had him I was screaming or crying during contractions or making a big “show” and once I got the epic I pretty much slept until it was time to push. I wouldn’t want him in the room while I push. We have family that will be there that can’t sit with him during that time. My biggest thing is just wanting him to stay overnight in the hospital with my husband and I. I mean I have family on call that can and will take him but I feel like if he doesn’t want to leave why make him? It’s a life changing event not only for my husband and I but for his as well and I think making him feel involved will make the process easier.

@diazalexia25 if you're not talking about having him watch you go through the pain and go through pushing the baby out then I say sure. As long as we're not giving the kid nightmares lol because he doesn't get that this is a beautiful life changing thing. He'll just know that a bloody thing is tearing his mom apart. And that's not how he should see his sibiling or his mom you know?
