I can say from experience that this is something to take the time to think through. I have a friend who had two babies in two years. She got pregnant the month she moved to my hometown to be with her fiance (DH's best friend). It was the same day as my first IUI. All my treated cycles that year failed and I was not in a good place. Since she moved from a different state and didn't have many friends and no family in the area other then her fiance's (now her DH) she wanted me there with her. I tried to do my best to be there for her through thick and thin but this conversation took me back. Of course I was honored for the invite but didn't know how I could possibly be there for this birth when it's what I'd been trying for and still wasn't pregnant myself. I was in the room and cried like a baby but it was from joy of the moment. I was in the room with her and walked her through the hospital with the second delivery as well. She had been having a hard time with pre-term labor and they weren't sure they were keeping her this night either so we sent her DH to work. It's a bonding like nothing else in life. While I was hesitant at first I'm so thrilled that I decided to be there for not only her first but second delivery as well.
