| ![]() When I have children, I would want my (future) husband to be with me in the room, and that's it. I think it's more special that way. Of course, things can always go wrong, like what if for some reason he is stuck at work, or whatever (I would probably KILL him then, LOL) but if for whatever reason he isn't able to make it in time, I would want my mom and just my mom. I don't want a whole audience!

| ![]() I don't think it's wrong at all! When I had my son it was just me, hubby, and my mom. My MIL insisted up until I was about ready to push that she was going to try to stay. She walked over to the bed and asked, "do you still want me to leave?" I said yes. Stick to your guns. I don't regret not letting my MIL in, (I had other reasons she didn't go back. She treated me like crap for years then wanted to share a special moment, ummm no). Though your mom may be hurt at first she will understand. She will be so excited to see your new baby. ![]()

| ![]() I had a zoo in the delivery room with my first. It was so hard and really took away from the bonding. I didn't get to hold him right away. Everyone kept passing him around and wanted their turn. It really was hard. After that... nobody is allowed by me and dh. I don't even tell people when I'm in labor. We just go and call them later, lol. I hate the thought of anyone waiting around on me. The last 2 were scheduled inductions and most everyone know, but we still didn't call until it was all done.

| ![]() Well I'm no where close to having a baby, but when I do, it'll be just me and the baby's daddy. I go back and forth on my mom being there. I'm 24 and still want my mommy when I'm in pain, however after getting in a near fatal wreck, when I had to get staples in my head she couldn't stand seeing me in pain so she made my 42 yr old sister come in the room and hold me down. However I do want the family and his family around close by, so they can come in shortly after the birth. When my nephew and his wife had their baby boy, they were induced so both his family (his mom, dad, two little sisters, his grandma (my mom), and I) were there as well as his wifes mom and dad. We were able to go in and sit on and off with her while she was in labor, but when it was time for the birth, we all went out in the waiting room. About 30 mins after Coley was born, they came out and told us and we were able to go in and see him and hold him. It was really special being with them so soon after the birth. |

| ![]() with my first daughter it was my mom, his mother and him. With my son it was my sister and hubby and with my daughter it was my mom and my hubby and thank god my mom was there and not my sis, I almost died during deliver and my sister would not have been able to handle that as well as my mom did(surprisingly) ![]()

| ![]() Wow...does your situation sound familiar! Hubby and I had said all along that it was going to be just the two of us...not even MY mother. My MIL insisted that she was going to be in the room with me...she honestly thought that all the way up until the night before they induced my labor! Then she called my husband in tears saying that I was being mean to her by not letting her in. When he finally convinced her that nothing was going to change our minds, she rebounded with, "Well, at least the baby will get to sleep in my bed when it comes home from the hospital like my other 2 grandchildren did!" WHAT!?!? I still to this day don't know why she EVER thought that was going to happen...we didn't live with her, or even near her for that matter. ![]() Anyway....bottom line is, when the time came, DH and I were the only ones in there. ![]() |

| ![]() 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.

| ![]() When I had my daughter (30 years ago tonight!!!) her dad (not current DH)was the only one with me. He refused to call my mom and I cried through the whole delivery because I wanted her with me. 13 years ago my youngest sister was having her 2nd and called that I had to be there with her and mom. I thought that she wanted me for support during labor....no.. I heard her yelling "get in here Jean, I can't do this without you" that's the last thing that I wanted to see...forceps in aciton. 10 yrs ago, daughter (happy b-day to her), having first child had me and step-dad (video for her), dad & step-mom (fainted), her hubby, 2 nurses and dr in a tiny room for the delivery. 7 yrs ago, daughter, having second child had her hubby (fainted) and me (same doctor & I cut cord on this one). 4 yrs ago, daughter, having third and last child had her hubby & me (same doctor & got I to catch her and SIL cut cord...by this time we knew the drill real well). My baby days are over for awhile, I hope.

| ![]() When my daughter was expecting, I didn't want to be in the delivery room. I can't tell you why, I just didn't. My husband (her step father) on the other hand, asked her right away if he could be there. He said he was not allowed to be in the delivery room when his own (now grown) children were born, and he really wanted to witness a birth. He told my daughter that it was OK if she didn't want him there, but she said it was fine with her. We were all there when she was in labor. I was in and out of the room and when it got close to time for the baby to come, I said I would go home and get my mom so she could be here to see the baby after it was born. Well, when my mom and I got back to the hospital, the baby still hadn't been born and my daughter sent my husband to get me and my mom from the waiting room. She said she wanted us all in there. It turned out to be so special. There was baby, mom, grandmother, and great grandmother, all together. Afterwards I was really glad to be there. My husband was so cute - he helped my daughter so much, he wanted to be involved and she was grateful for his help. About 30 minutes after baby Abigail was born, my husband was holding her and talking to her. One of the first things he said was, "I'm going to take you fishing and hunting and do anything that you want" You know what, Abigail is now 11 and she LOVES to go hunting and fishing with her dad and papa. Must have been that talk at birth that sealed the deal ![]()

YT 2000 Club Member | ![]() With my first son it was my husband and my mom. With Second son, it was my husband and his sister. My third son was born at 27 weeks, I was taken by ambulance to University Hospitals Of Cleveland. Just my husband and about 14 other people crammed into labor room when he was born, I did not make it to the Delivery room to have him so they had to rush him off to the neonatologist that was in the delivery room waiting for me to get their. With my fourth son it was the same thing, he was born at 28 weeks. I was on hospital bed rest up at University Hospital of Cleveland for about 2 months before he was born, I made it into the delivery room with him but because of the premature birth they still have to have all those specialist ready to work on the baby so I had about 14 strangers present at his birth too.
