I am due to give birth to my second child in a few months. My mother is visiting again and I would like her present at the birth.

I am delivering at Medcare Hospital (opp Safa Park).

My doctor informs me I can only have one person present during the labour. My doctor said the same thing last time I gave birth.

Just want to ask, is this correct?

I had no one with me at MedCare - they shoved my husband out the door when my baby was being delivered (not a C-section, either). Hopefully this is not the norm ... but I wasn't in much of a position to get up and leave.

Depends on your reasons.
