Hey Everyone

My ex-husband and I are still best friends. I grew up without both of my parents, they both died before I was 1 year old.My ex's parents kida adopted my bother and I but without going through with the papers and making in legal.

 Would it be werid to have my ex-mother in law at the hospital when I am going into labor?

    You have to do what is comfortable for you and your SO.  If you both wnt them there, then no it's not weird. 

    When I was in labor I wanted people around me who loved me and were supportive of my choices/decisions.  If she fits the bill, then by all means go for it.

    You are in charge of your birthing plan; just remember it is always subject to change :)

    Well, I know personally I wouldn't want my ex (or even current) MIL in the delivery room with me, but that's because we didn't like each other.  :)  If your x-MIL is someone who is special to you and supportive of you I'd say go ahead!  I know that when my cousin divorced his wife my entire family decided he had divorced us along with her and we kept inviting her to family gatherings and not him.  A little evil of us, but he was a bit of a jerk in those days and she's amazing.  So I wouldn't find a continued relationship with x-ILs strange at all.

    I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

    You have a really unique situation.  I personally would never have anyone besides my H in there with me, but if it will make you more comfortable and you feel she can help support you through the process, by all means, do it!

    Well, your situation is unique and nobody here understands the relationship with your ex-MIL better than you. I think if you and your SO are comfortable with that and the ex-MIL is your mother figure, by all means include her in the delivery room.  I personally would not want my mother there and I'd want my MIL there even less.
