So I was thinking maybe that I'd like for just my hubby and myself to be at the hospital when I give.birth to our son.
When I gave birth to my daughter EVERYONE was there. I just want this moment for us... But don't want to hurt feelings. I'm I a bad person for wanting this?
Re: don't want anyone at hospital when I give birth
If that's your wish- make it clear to everyone beforehand: family, friends, your OB, the nursing staff, hubby, etc.
I told my MIL that she wasn't allowed there due to hospital policy (lie) but we still told her beforehand.
And then don't tell anyone you're in labor until after you've had baby.
We ended up setting more strict parameters about who could visit us in hospital post partum after baby 1, but that seemed to go ok after baby 2.
This time around I think we will only tell my parents and sister (our childcare who live 10 min from us) and the rest of family and close friends after baby is born and we've been moved to a new room.
Good luck- and DONT FEEL BAD!
Some people have gotten upset with us but I have a feeling this is going to happen a lot more now as not everyone will like the decision you make as a parent but they are your decisions to make and you have to do what works for you and no one else.
