Mother In Law To Be

Not really a question just need to distress lol ... my fiance and I have been in disagreement about his mom being in the room when I'm having the baby. I don't mind her being there before or after I would just be more comfortable if she would step out when it time to push. He's trying to say it's the same as my mom being in the but that's not the case... my mother had me and has seen it all his has not. It's just frustrating-__-
Sorry for my rant haha

Yeah I don't want to be mean but it's diff from my mom being in there she gave birth to me nd raised me she's seen just about everything lol but since his brothers babies mom let her there for everything I'm expected to let her do the same . He's very supportive and usually goes with what I want so I want to be fair. It just bothers me' I was thinking of telling my nurses to tell us the same thing only 2 people that way she won't be too bummed.

That's so awkward having his mom be there.  I understand having your mom,  But his?  That's just weird and he should understand that you're not comfortable with the idea and to leave it like that.

Mine has a 3 person rule but I had to tell mother in law its only 2 people so no feelings were hurt. I don't want her seeing my private parts. I will be having only my mom and SO in the room

But every hospital I have ever heard of has a two person rule. So I would imagine so does yours

I wanted my mother in law in there because I am closer with her than my own mother, my fiance only wanted Him and I for delivery and I was a little offended he was so serious about it considering what I'm going to be going through I felt he should settle for what makes me most comfortable and being that it's my first I thought I would want the extra support. I agreed to it being just him and I, and now that it's so close I'm very happy with that decision.  She will be In there for labor but not delivery. I feel if you don't want her in there she and your fiance should expect that. Show him birth videos and then say why would you want any more company in a time like that? Or say you want to really be able to bond with him and baby as soon as baby comes and don't want to share with her immediately.  Explain how private that can be as and your not comfortable.  So many reasons.... hood luck!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that... I feel mean but it's just uncomfortable for me' so let's just hope my hospital has that nice little to person rule too haha bt if not I guess I'll just suck it up if that's what makes him happy.

Lol trust me when its coming out you wont be worried!!!! But our hospital has a 2 person only rule and in my experience that is too many just 1 support person is really good otherwose one feels neglected bored or that their opinion is better.
You sound really reasonable to even be ok with her being in the room to start with so hopefully they can respect your decision its a veryyyy personal uncomfortable experience and being there after baby is born should be enough.

and btw I would never have my mum in the room again either lol and she told me she will never do it again aswell haha

I would not be okay with that either. He needs to respect and accept what you want. There's no reason she needs to be in there for that lol. It's all up to you!
