okay everyone so last night my husband told me that he does not want my mom in the birthing room how many of you had your mom in the birthing room and how many did not and how do I tell him that I want her there?
I liked having my mom because she had done it before. Husbands are great, but they are as overwhelmed and clueless as you.
You're the one being exposed, so I think your vote carries the most weight. My mom and my mother-in-law were both in the room.
this pregnancy I'm having both moms *again but different hospital. and my husband
I had my mom and mother in law. tho my MIL was trying to control everything. I'm the type of person IDC how much you think you know. I'm listening to my doctor. it ended up in my mil slapping my doctor for bout pulling my child's cranium off during labor. .. . less people. less stress.
I will have my mom, best friend and husband. He wants no part of holding my legs as he can be squeamish so he's happy to have them there! I had my mom and best friend with my first as well.
Ugh I'm on the same boat! I told my husband that I want both of them more so because both of them are going to provide me with a different comfort... We shall see what happens that day!
I did not have my mother there, or any family members for that matter. Just my fiancé and bestfriend, and this time it will be just me and my fiancé. That isn't a moment I really wanted to share with any of them, but if it's someone who makes you comfortable just let him know you'd like both your mothers and his support at that time.
If your mom will be comforting to you than tell him it's not his choice!! If it won't make a difference and your just worried about hurting feeling side with your husband.
I didn't. She said "can I be in the room with you" and I said "no! I don't want you seeing my hoo-ha!" and it was cool
