A lot of you seem to be worried about hurting feelings when you decide who will (or will not) be in the room when you deliver.  This is just my opinion - but DON'T base your decision on avoiding hurt feelings.  This is a decision for you and SO to make, and no one else should have input!!  If  you will be uncomfortable/stressed/worried about other people if they are there, don't let them be in the room!  

It's true, you might possibly hurt someone's feelings, but this is YOUR birth experience!  Besides, everyone will get over it the first time they see LO, and if they don't....screw 'em!

Again, just my opinion, but to me, this is too important a decision to base upon someone else's feelings...
