While friends and family often rush to welcome a newborn with open arms, it's often a completely different situation in the delivery room. Instead, an expectant mother will often decide to have one or two people at her side during the birth.
However, the controversial decision of who's present has been known to cause rifts and ruin relationships. Taking to popular forum Mumsnet, a pregnant woman has admitted that her mother is furious after she's banned her from the delivery room by choosing her partner and best friend instead.
The woman explained: "Second baby and my birth plan is to have my partner and best friend in the delivery room with me."
