Who would you want in the room when you're giving birth?

Who would you want in the room when you're giving birth? Alex and I wanted to be alone because I like complete quiet when concentrating. In college, I was one of those people who couldn't study with music playing; and I felt the same way about keeping our hospital room mellow during labor.

Who would you want in the room with you? Your mom? Your dad? Your best friend? Everyone? Just your spouse? Is there anyone you really wouldn't want there? I'd love to hear...

P.S. How to make a baby.
