in your opinion is it inappropriate for me to invite my 14 year old sister into the delivery room, we have always been really close like best friends and she is really mature for her age. her mom recently passed away from cancer which ultimatly made us closer. (we have the same dad) she is my only sister. i just want everyones input and honest opinion,do you think that is too young?

my sister held my left leg while i was pushing! she was 23... not 14. however, to this day, she says she's so happy i had her there with me. not only did it bring us closer, but she feels she has an especially strong bond with my son.
if she can handle it all, why not have her there? childbirth is an amazing experience.... who better to share it with than the people you love the most?
:)

Are you having a c-section? If not , I really don't understand why you couldn't have the entire family there. Is this what the doc. said or hospt.? Your pregnancy, your labor, your $$$, your baby, it should be your decision! One more person won't hurt! And if all else fails, ask your dad what he wants to do. I found that my dad wasn't really interested in the delivery but would much rather be in the waiting room. And see me and baby after the fact. All else fails talk with the doc., rules can be bent. And think about how much your mother in law would appreciate the opportunity to be in the joyous moment. And it might bring a bonding connection that you need with her. oh, and hubby might need support just as you do from your mom. Good luck and congrats.

If you think she would be okay with it you should have her in the delivery room. I don't think that it would be inappropriate. I'm 13 and I know that if I was invited and it was someone I was close to I would definitely want to be there. Talk to her about it and ask her if she wants to be in the delivery room because she may not.

I don't think it's too young, and it would be a neat bonding experience. Women have been having babies together for centuries. It's a great idea! Good luck.

Go for it....as long as she feels she can handle it, then theres no reason why you shouldnt include her.....i think it could bring you even closer together and be a whole new bonding experience

It's not too young. She's always remember it and feel closer to you for sharing the special event.

Check how she feels about it and do not force. I hear tat some husbands do not even want to be inside the delivery room let alone your 14yr old sis.

Why not? Some women have their children in the room when they have home births.
