Who are you choosing to be on the delivery room?

I've decided I only want me and my boyfriend in the room .and I kinda don't want to call people and tell them I'm going into labor until after the baby is here and me and my bf have time to spend alone . Is that selfish ? Who are you choosing to be there ?

Last time it was just my fiance and his mom kept wanting to come in but i made it clear to my fiance if he let her in he was leaving lol. My parents waited in waiting room and when they asked me if i wanted to have.a csection cause baby wasnt coming i had them come in to talk. This time is a sched c section so just my fiance.

For my first it was just my then boyfriend (now husband) and the medical staff. Family and friends came in a few minutes after my daughter was born. That was really nice. My daughter is 6 now and I am thinking about having her with us. Not sure about that yet, I need to talk to her about it. But no mothers or in laws, heck no! My mom had terrible birthing experiences, while my mother in law is so sappy and irritating; they are the last things I need anywhere near me while I am having a baby!

My husband and mom and if my little sister wants to come in then I don't mind but that's it. My husband's sister asked if she could be present. I nicely said no sorry. But calling everyone else after baby is born is a good idea. That way we have our personal time.

Totally not selfish at all!  And this is a very personal decision for everyone.  This is YOUR baby and YOUR experience.  So do whatever makes you feel comfortable.  Don't do what makes others comfortable.  I have only ever had my husband and that's what I prefer.  That is OUR time and time for bonding w/ baby.  Others can see baby later on, if that is what you prefer.  Again, a personal choice completely, but just don't cave for others.  Do what is best for you and your baby and your BF.  Good luck!
