I told my mom as soon as I had regular contractions, then kept her updated while I was in the hospital. I called her about an hour before the c-section, I had no time between the external version and the c-section to call her. H called when the c-section was over.

I woke up in labor at 7am. I texted the relatives when we were on the way to the birthing center at around noon. We'd already told everyone that it was just going to be DH and I at the birthing center. I changed my mind during pushing and we called my parents at around 4pm and told them to come immediately, but they didn't quite make it in time for the birth.
The midwives told us that having extra people you don't really want around, even in the waiting room, can stall out labor. I don't know if that's true or not.
