Delivery Room Guests

At the hospital I am going to I am allowed 5 ppl in the room during delivery but I was just going to have 3 , 2 of my friends & the father. Am I wrong for not wanting his mother in the room? She or anyone in his family hasn't called to check on me in months. I just feel they don't deserve to see that moment because they didn't care enough to check on me or even get my baby anything at all. Am I wrong?

I am so private. Only my bf will be in the room.

I would say go with your comfort level. My husbands mom will be in the room because he wants her there. I could not take that away from him. But at the end of the day, if she or my mom stresses me out, they will get the boot!!!

I'm only having my boyfriend in the room. I decided that at the very beginning and nobody has questioned me on it.

She hasn't asked yet but I know she is. The father is not happy I don't want any of his family in the room. I would be far from comfortable. Especially since I am really upset that they haven't been involved. I've done EVERYTHING, bought EVERYTHING on my own, about $2000 or more worth of stuff with NO help from anyone. Haven't even received a penny of help. (I don't have family)

No you're not wrong. In order for you to have the best birth experience for you and baby, be sure to have people in the room that make you comfortable and are in agreement with your birth plan. Is it just the problem of telling her not to be in the room? ?
