My boyfriends mom told me I HAVE to schedule my ultrasounds on her days off and she asked him if she can be in the room when I deliver. I don't really want her there for any of it. I understand that it's her grandchild, but it's my baby and I've always been a keep to myself, this is my business kind of person. I don't want her to hate me though.
@reaganmommy2015, @tae23 yeah I'm definitely saying no for the delivery. @tae23 I'll probably give in and let her come to ultrasounds, hopefully that's enough for her! @babycasey when there's a baby around she'll hopefully get over it! @gabbii yeah I'm going to do something like that, the delivery room is off limits. I feel like I'm too exposed physically and emotionally to have more than just my boyfriend in there! @marce88 that's rough! If they do try I'd be like NOPE sorry haha. @poppys exactly! It's too private of a thing for me.
no one should be in that room that you don't want there. besides, the more people in there the more stress you could be under and that's not good for you or baby.
My baby's fathers family has yet to call me once to say hi lol so she better not even think about trying to show up on delivery day lol
plus if you don't wanna come off as rude you can blame the dr and say they only allow one person in the delivery room and as far as Sonos just say you don't know when your gonna get them? I wasn't expecting a sono at 3 or my appointments so they can be random:)
I told mine that I appreciate her wanting to be there, but it is my first child and i either want to share them with my husband or id rather wait and tell him later but that me and him should be the first to see and know everything. she was offended at first but she got over it. it's a great experience but you only want him there
I agree with @tae23 it's all about you!! they'll get over being upset... seriously.
You can try and work with her on the baby shower but she has to understand that is your baby and if you don't want her in the delivery room she definitely doesn't have to be there she has no say in that stand your ground girl :)
I'm sorry you're going through this. some people just don't realize how intrusive and selfish they are being. giving birth is an incredibly intimate and vulnerable act. stand your ground and let your feelings be known.
