Delivery Room!

So, my mom insists that her and my grandmother are in the labor and delivery room when I give birth to my little girl. I feel bad because I just want it to be my fiancee and I, I think it's a special moment that we should share alone with our baby.. I just don't know how to tell my mom without her getting mad. I've hinted around to it and she's just not getting the hint?

Straight up tell her how you feel. It is up to you not her. She will get over it. Personally I liked having my mom there. I wouldn't feel right not having her in there with me, but that is me.

Just be straight forward about it.

Just tell her.

Don't tell her you're at the hospital until the last moment. Then leave it to the nurses to keep them out.

Just tell her you want it to be you and your fiancé only. They can see the baby after. Trust me, there will be enough people in there from the hospital, extra people tend to get in the way. It's your baby, so it's your decision not your mom's.

I would just say exactly that to her. That you just want to be able to have quiet, private time with LO after the birth. Maybe throw in that you're thrilled they want to be so involved, just that you feel you are going to need that time.
I think most adults would understand that to be reasonable.

My MIL, mom and sister were in the room with me before I ended up having a csection and I thought they were awesome support. It's your baby and your birth though, let her know how you really feel. She probably isn't getting your hints..

my mom and my Mother in law wanted to be in the room. i just wanted it to be me and my husband. So i just had to tell them straight up . NO. they werent happy, but my son is almost 2 now, and they have completely forgotten about it. lol.

My friend had the same issue and she just didn't call her mom until she was in the hospital &10 cms...she had the benefit of living 3 hrs from her mom though

Just tell her how you feel. If she doesnt like it you might care now, but you wont when the time comes

Thanks everyone

I was in the same boat with my mom.. Sorry but your just going to have to let her get mad. It's your delivery and your choice. I told my mom that i didn't want her to be in with me she was kind of bitter sweet but I did ask her to be on stand by incase I needed her. Once that baby gets here it will be a thing in the past.. I am the baby in my family and my mom said it's harder to just sit back when its your only daughter and your baby having the baby she feels like she has to be there to help them through it like she has my entire life it's just a moms natural instinct but after talking to her she understands that this is a time i need to let my hubby be there the most.

I had a similar prob, but i always say when im around, i cant wait to experiance this with my fiancee. so they do know now and make it appoint that they cant wait til he brings the baby out for them to see her...then my mom through out that maybe you should let your sister be in there with you....and once again i would tell her....so this is your moment do not let anyone take that away from you
