delivery room...

So I'm having a dilema with who should be aloud in the room... I know for sure my boyfriend and my mom... But the more I think about it it's like, who do I really want looking at my hole as a baby comes out... My sister wants to be in the room and so does my boyfriends mom... As much as I love my sister I don't think I want her watching that lol, but she's understanding about it... My boyfriends mom on the other hand invited herself into the delivery room... I only wanted my boyfriend and was contimplating on my mom and I get more and more frustrated when we talk about it because I don't want her in the room and she thinks she has the right to be there... So, I'm at a dilema and now, because I'm stressing out about it so much, I don't think I'm even going to tell anyone I'm in labor and just call them all when she's born...

Did anyone have that problem with people inviting themselves into the delivery room that you didn't want there??

No thankfully. I'd also have no problem telling them they can't be either. Just tell them there's a 2 person limit- your boyfriend and your mom.

yes, but it didn't matter in the end, i probably wouldn't have cared if Brad Pitt walked in....by the time I was pushing i was like fuck, the more the merrier!

my MIL invited herself to my delivery room.

in the end, i didnt give a fuck that she was there, i just wanted the baby out

I think she would be more upset if you had the baby and then called.

I would just assertively tell her while you appreciate how excited she is about the delivery of her grandchild. You only want your SO present.
If she gets upset she gets upset.

Why dont you tell them that you checked with the hospital and they only allow 1 or 2 people in the room. Make it the hospitals fault.

If she is adament about being in the delivery room, tell the nurses when you first get admitted, the people you want in the room during delivery, and they will go by what you want. The medical staff's only concern is you, and they want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible during the birth, because any added stress can cause complications.

well because of the whole h1n1 thing you might only be allowed two people in there anyways. our hospitals are limiting it to 2 visitors at a time and no children. you might want to find out from your hospital .
i had 4 people in the room when i had my first 3 years ago. it didnt really matter to me who saw it, wasnt even thinking about it lol.

Thats what I did.!!!

Yea, I don't want to wait til after she's born to tell everyone... This is the first grandchild on both sides and I would love to have everyone there, but once people start crossing that comfort level it's like this is my baby, you had your chance, let me enjoy the agony and pain of giving birth in peace... I don't think I would have such a problem with her being there if she hadn't invited herself and if she wasn't already trying to tell me what to do with my daughter, as in telling me how to raise her... She's one of those people you love, but you hate too... Lets just say she drives me bananas lol

omg that sounds exactly like my boyfriends mom lol and his sister invited herself in there too and i really don't want either one of them to be in there.i feel a little bad it might hurt there feelings though but i would rather it just be me and my boyfriend..maybe my mom but i haven't even decided that yet because my mom wasn't the most excited when i got pregnant so idk if she would even want to haha.but i'm not really stressing about it..i figure when it gets closer i'll decide.

i'd just flat out tell her no. she doesn't have a right...noone does. lol. on the other hand, at this point i totally understand the feeling of how you don't want a bunch of people looking at you while you're naked and in labor. but seriously, when it gets down to it, you really don't care. all that matters is having a baby.
BUT, if you don't want her, she should totally respect that. NO WAY would i have wanted my mil there. not because i would have been embarrassed, but because she's the kind that talks nonstop and gets all worried and flustered. she would have driven me crazy cuz i wanted a serene, quiet atmosphere.

Ya know, amazingly I never thought of that... Brilliant... Good thing I've got my class at the hospital on the 14... Can just say they told us then... I know in OB Triage they only allow one person in at a time, but I don't know anyone who's delivered at my hospital... But I guess with the H1N1 thing it would make sense to only let 1 or 2 people in the room

Yea, she works in a doctor's office and thinks she knows everything, like a nurse, and it annoys the hell out of me... I had to go to OB Triage the other night and my boyfriend and I flat out said we don't want you to go, if I have to stay we will call you... I told my mom the same thing, and she literally yelled at my boyfriend and took us to the hospital... I was so pissed
