in laws..

So I'm 18 weeks along and this is my first baby. I have my gender ultrasound on Tuesday, and my husband just told that his parents asked to go with us to the ultrasound, yet I only wanted it to be me and my husband. I didn't even invite my mom to go. Is it wrong of me to not want them to go? Am I being to selfish with pregnancy?

His parents have had there own pregnancy experiences it's not selfish at all. This is your baby and your experience and you can do as you wish. I personally wanted to bring my whole family and his But when I got there I was only aloud to have one other person aside from my boyfriend in there. So I had like 6 people in the waiting room and my sister was the lucky number two I picked to come in with us. So keep in mind they might now even be aloud in. She only wanted me to have my boyfriend Inn there actualy but I begged her to let me have one more person cause my sis traveled a distance to come

At my dr's office they will only let two people in the room in addition to you... You could blame it on space requirements if you don't want to be confrontational.

Its definately your choice! My bfs mom went with us and i thought it was great i dont talk to my mom. i know they are just as excited as we are and im sure they want to see the baby in the ultrasound. Its your choice tho and they should understand but i think its fun when they go :)

I made my husband's grandparents mad because the only people who knew the gender were my sisters because they were doing a revel party. My sisters knew for like 2 months and it just about killed my hubby's grandma. I found it funny though. It was my decision and people had to live with it.

Don't hesitate for an instant to have your ultrasound the way you want.  It's a private, very special moment between you and your spouse.  He should not have asked them without asking you first.

I was in the same boat when I was that far along, do whatever you feel comfortable with or else you will end up wishing you had a more private pregnancy.

Not at all. It's a moment for you and your husband to enjoy.  You're not inviting anyone else to go so just tell him. He has to respect that.
