well,im having this problem dealing with my boyfriend and my mum ,well my boyfriend have all the right to be with me during labour and im sure he's helpful and my mum had 4 children so she obviously experienced can they go in with me both?or i have to choose? im giving birth at mater dei and i dont know what to expect and i hope i have the rights like every other mum altough im 16

You will have to check with your own hospital, they all have their own rules. When I had DD I was only allowed 1 Birthing partner, but I know another woman thre had two. Your age shouldn't matter!

Your age is irrellevant to your rights, and don't you let them forget it!!

I was allowed 2 (DH and my mum) when I had DD1 is hospital but I don't know if that's standard, you'll have to ask your hospital I think.

I personally wouldn't choose my mum, but only because she's so sensitive i don't think she'd have coped, she gets upset when I have a migraine.
I was 18 when I was pg with dd and dh was petrified during the birth and therefore not much help but we were both pleased he was there IYSWIM. However I go into a kind of zone in labour so would've been happy to go it alone second time round.
I also wouldn't have wanted too many people there, it was crowded enough with me,dh, midwife and a student.

I once had 4 people with me .

Good luck.

My friend had her mother and her dp (partner) as birth partners. (not the same hospital as you though)

As others have said, your age doesn't matter. If the hospital say no initially, and you really do want your mum and boyfriend there, then put it in writing to them and keep trying. As long as neither of them get in the way, I don't think that 2 birth partners is unreasonable.

Check with the hospital what their policy is. When I had DS I could have had 2 birthing partners but chose just to have DP. With DD hospital policy was just one birthing partner.

Where are you giving birth? I didn't understand.

It is usual to have 2 birth partners in a vaginal delivery, 1 birth partner for a c/section and as many as you like for home birth.

But, you'll have to check with your hospital.

10x all of you and goodluck !!your adorable ;)

I had 3, but only 2 overnight (no room for more, and quite uncomfortable; #3 went home to sleep) and only 1 was allowed into theatre.
