keeping it a secret

Anyone else keeping it a secret when you go into labor. We are telling our moms, my aunt and his sister. That's it.  And I don't want anyone at the hospital till im ready. Ive already told ppl they can't come visit me at the hospital and they are mad but idc its my child. Im not putting it on fb till im ready and when I do Im def saying sorry no visitors.

I feel the same way, honestly. I don't want my situation to be the same as everyone else's. When he's born, I want his daddy and I to spend the first couple hours with him, not everyone crowd in after I just had him. It may sound stuck up but the way I see it is: I carried him for nine months, went through a hard long labor so I have every right to be this way. Most of my family members were like "you have to call me when he's born." Uhm, no. The only person I even want at the hospital is my fiance and my dad. That's it. The only person I want in the room is my fiance! People act like I'm being greedy when I say this but whatever. It's my child and my decisions!

I'm not telling anyone! My bf and mum will be at the birth. I'll told ppl that I'll be a little busy giving birth to let them know. Lol and even after giving birth I'm gonna leaving it a couple of hours before I said ppl can know. I mean I have a huge family!!! 3 sister 3 brothers mum & step dad.  Step mum and dad then there's my bfs family and his parents are separated too to that's 4 more parents along with his siblings! And don't even get me started on my siblings partners and grandparents and friends lol I think It should be my time to bond with my baby!! It would just be too much for me personally to allow every to be there.

I mean I want time to bond with baby and get myself together and actually get a room before ppl start coming.  We both have big families. I have 7 brothers and sisters.. I don't want ppl camping out . My doctor said that they won't let ppl hold the baby for the first 2 hours anyways.

@cassidy_ that's how I want it as well. When my daughter was born my boyfriend(now fiance), mother and sister was in the room. And then after I had her everybody piled in. But this time its just going to be my fiance in the room. I'm going to call my mom and them to let them know but I want my fiance, our daughter, the new baby and I to have time together before everybody else comes in.
