With both of our boys, only hubby was with me. My mom never even asked if she could go in. My MIL wanted to with us for our first (I lived out of state from my mom then) but I told hubby no and expressed my wishes to my doctor. He totally took the "blame" and told her it was his rules no one in delivery except father of baby so she didn't go. We moved back to where my mom lives before 2nd was born so she was definitely closer. MIL came up day before delivery (scheduled induction) and never once asked to go in there. Of course, the hospital I delivered the second one at had a policy at that time only 2 people allowed in room while in labor - father and one other - and then no one but father during delivery. Worked out great cause I had complication immediately after delivery and hubby almost had to leave.

I agree with the other poster who said to discuss with your doctor. Make him be the "bad guy" in this if she still insists on going in. The main thing is this is YOUR special time and it should be the way you and your hubby want it to be.
