delivery question

[newmommy213]

As a ftm I had a question about the delivery process. So I already know that my mom and my baby's father both plan on being in the room when I have my daughter.  I've always been a more private person and don't want everyone to see my business.  Obviously the doctor has to but is there anyway that I'd be able to have the doctor cover me up or something so that only they can see what's going on? I know that would make me way more comfortable with my delivery but I'm not sure if it would be allowed :/ any ideas or suggestions here? :/

I'm okay with the doctor I have who will be delivering my baby but I just don't want her dad or my mom to see all my buisness lol I'm a private person so I just don't want everyone to see everything

The doctor has to see you so they cant cover you up to tge point where they cant see whats going on with the baby but your mom and childs father dont have to be all down there my hubby wanted to see everything and that made me uncomfortable too i think thats why i couldn't push hard enough and had to do c section he even wanted to see what was going on with that lol

[newmommy213]

I'm still uncomfortable with my doctor seeing everything so I think I'm more than likely gonna prefer being covered up. I'm just super nervous about it all

I feel the exact same way ! I just want my mom in the room.

I felt the same way with my first pregnancy but once the birthing process started nothing else mattered but getting my daughter out. Any kind of worry about being 'exposed' faded away when they told me to start pushing. The nurse told my bf to hold one leg, my sis holding the other and my mom standing by my head. Of course I was nervous but I think it was worth it because my bf got to see everything and cried when he saw our daughter come out. My sis was able to take pictures and I was able to see how it looked myself. It really was an experience that I don't regret sharing.

There will be lots of teams of doctors and helpers. But when that time reaches u really would not care who is watching

I'm the same exact way but honestly... Idk if it was just me or what, but when I was actually in labor it was the absolute last thing I cared about! Idk if it was the pain or just being naked under a robe for hours upon hours or the constant cervix checks and not being able to feel my legs from the epidural. I'm so private with that stuff but I had my mom actually take pictures of my little man! It's such an amazing thing and it's crazy what you forget about when you go through it (: good luck.

I don't have my own gown or anything like that. I just know I'm gonna be super uncomfortable as is just having the doctor staring at me like that. I make everyone leave the room when they just do a check up and the first time they examined me I cried before it even started.

I plan to wear my own night gown and robe instead of a hospital gown, that may make you feel more comfortable.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is like this lol

[newmommy213]

I know my baby's dad has already seen all of the birthing process before so he said he was gonna be right by my side through it all I just know I don't want them to see it all happen. That's one thing I've been super nervous about...

I am the same way! I don't like for everything to be all out there.. I'm very modest of myself. Can't hurt to ask your dr next time you see him/her. Tell them how you feel and ask if they can drape the cloth thing a little more over you. My husband is the only one that's going to be in the room with me but I'm still a little shy!

Have your mom and babies father stand by your head you can ask them to cover you. Also tell your mom and babies father to look at your face during the delivery
