Delivery room question

I totally disagree on the 'equality' between grandmothers. YOU are the one who is going through a serious physical ordeal, and if you want/need your mother there for support that should take priority. While yes, the new grandchild is what everyone is excited about, you are going to be going through a lot, and they need to understand that. You shouldn't have to feel like you have to kick your mother out just so someone's feelings don't get hurt.

This ^^ love it!

DH is going to be the only person in the delivery room with me. I would feel completely stressed out if anyone else were to be there with us. I don't need a circus going on while I'm delivering my baby.

Just DH and me for baby. Thinkin since this is my #3, it will be a fast enough labor that we won't be telling family that "we are headed to the hospital" so no one will be waiting around. #1 was 32 hours, #2 was 7 hours, so I'm hoping we just make it inside the birth center! Lol.

I'm doing an at home birth, so I guess I really have no "rules" I have to follow. My plans however, is NOBODY but DH, the midwife, and her assistant. Our families are half a state away, so they'll get the call eventually (soonish) after the baby's born. They don't know that quite yet, nor do they know about the home birth, but they'll find out eventually! Overall- my pain, my rules.

Do not let anyone take away from your first moments with your baby. Theyre yours, spend them how YOU would like.

I am pregnant with baby #3 and my husband has been the only person in delivery room with me. This delivery will be the same. Sure both our parents wanted to be in there but we wanted that time alone with our new child. That included with the fact that I have never had a problem telling people how I feel or what I think and they got over it pretty quick. They were allowed to visit the next day when we went home :-)

It's all up to you who you want in the birthing room. When I had my son it was just my husband and I so that we could have our special moment together. Plus right before the baby came there were eight nurses the Dr. and my husband on the delivery room which was a lot to handle. If you decide it's what you want then you can always ask for everyone to leave so you can have a little less stress. GOOD LUCK with your little angel.

I think since you're the one in labor it's your choice who is in the delivery room. Of course you would want your mother in the room with you. Mom can comfort you like no one else can. My mom will be in the room with me but not his mom nor do I want his mom in the room with me. Nothing against her, it's just not my mom ya know. And honestly, I could care less if anyone gets upset. They aren't the one pushing out a watermelon haha so they can get over it.

My fiancé and I will be the only ones in the room with the hospital staff start to finish. I said to him I don't want visitors for the first week after she's born. For me I need that time to bond and rest with my new baby. My fiancé didn't understand at first but he has come around to see that I'm right, from the start of labor until you can get your footing with a new baby moms are exhausted, you need private time to regroup. I say stand your ground your husband will come around to see where your coming from MIL will also get over it
