Delivery drama

katyertlkatyertl member
in June 2015 Moms
im going to start crying! I'm being induced right now. We told our parents we would keep them updated and let them know when they can come visit. Well my husbands dad just waltzes right in without even texting or calling us first! The doctor came in to break my water and he walked out thank god and now my husband is walking around the halls with him hopefully telling him to leave. Why would anyone just show up like this?! He lives like 2 hours away and brough a ziplock bag full of granola and snacks for himself so apparently he thinks he is staying for the whole thing! All I want to do is cry. This is our first and I just wanted it to be my husband and I. All the other parents stayed away and he did this!
Just needed to vent to you ladies and get it all off my chest

    I second PP. Ask a nurse to retrieve your husband and kick FIL out. You don't need this. DH should be by you, not babysitting his inconsiderate dad.

    At my hospital the wing is locked and your name must be on a list to enter the labor wing. The mom is allowed to choose ONLY 3 people to put on list and that is it... No one can just walk into the room!

    I totally wish they did that here! And am
    Completely surprised that they don't! It's weird that they don't even call your room and ask if you allow this person to come in. I could have been pushing this baby out and he could have just walked right in
    Wow that is insane! Imagine just being spread eagle and having someone walk in?! Just make your wishes known to the nurses and they will take care of it.... Just think soon you will be holding your baby!!

    He's excited look at it that way, I'm sure this is just a sign he will be a wonderful grandfather. Wouldn't you prefer this over a horrible drug addict that doesnt want anything to do with your baby.
    That being said I know it's annoying but you have a bigger task to keep in your mind!! Good Luck mama

    This is exactly what I am afraid of hopefully you can get him to leave. As others have said maybe you can get the nurse to kick him out. Suposably I heard people say it's good luck to have people waiting for the baby maybe that is why he showed up. Don't be stressed just refuse him to be in your room and take your time (you can also use this as motivation if you have a long labor you can think of every hour he waits as his punishment for showing up I know it's not much) Good luck with your labor.

    OMG. I'm so sorry! Clearly no way you'd want someone just hanging out watching you as you go through this (the nerve!) and you should have your husband with you undistracted.

    Like @Westypet said, don't shy away from making it clear they shouldn't be there. This is no time for you to need to worry about other people's feelings (especially as they were told already), that can wait. Definitely enlist the help of the nurses so your husband can focus on you.

    My hospital is the same as someone posted above. I have to write your name down, and I can only write 3, including my husband. Ugh, but thankfully your husband took care of it.

    Ugh, how inconsiderate! You shouldn't have to worry about unwelcome visitors at a time like this! You've got more important things to do.

    All these comments are reminding me to check on my hospital's visitors policy. My husband's parents are already planning a camp out at the hospital. Sooooo, not happening.

    Ugh. I'm glad hubs sent him away. Hopefully FIL spreads the word, too, that he was sent away and you don't want any visitors so that no one else takes it into their mind to try the same trick again.

    Tell the nurses no visitors at all and just try to put it out of your mind and not worry about anybody waiting.

    Good luck gal! Hugs!

    Ahhhh, so sorry you had to deal with that but glad to hear you guys straightened it out.

    On a slightly different note, I got a giggle out of reading he brought snacks.

    Hope the rest of your time there is drama free!!!
