I need some input/advice. I'm going in tomorrow around 5 to be induced. My 12 year old stepdaughter lives with us, and as my husband is in the military we have no family here except for my mom who is here to be in the room with me. I love my stepdaughter to death, but I know being in pain and it being a long process, that I will not be able to handle her in the room for the entirety of the time. Of course I want her to be there for her sister, but do not think it's necessary that she is there the whole time. We have friends, that both husband and wife work by the hospital, and I was thinking of asking if they could take her to spend the night and bring her back up when they go to work in the a.m. How do I bring this up with out blatantly saying I don't want her in the room? I am already in a lot of pain and my nerves are shot so I would like it to be as calm as possible, plus I'm sure she does not want to see all of the things that are going to happen, lol.

Just tell the truth...you don't want her in the room! Having a baby is painful and stressful. Of she freaks, it won't help you. It might also be too much for her to see. Plus she needs rest, like @lil_bigmama said. I doubt anyone would think you were being mean. It's probably the best thing since I imagine you'll already be sorta on edge with your husband away. Also, I wish a haply, healthy delivery for you!!! =)
Tell her that it's not going to be quick & that it's something you don't think she's ready to experience (watch) happen yet. you could even tell one of the doctors / nurses to mention that she's too young to be in the room during delivery & it'll take it off you completely.
Get her daddy 2 talk 2 her if he can't u set her down and tell her it's a long process & u want her 2 b comfortable & b able 2 sleep so she can hold the baby when it's born
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
My husband takes his cousin girlfriend to work. Should I be worried about the FEMALE coming on to my husband?
Am I a bitch? My husband wanted to go to lunch with a girl who's a friend but her boyfriend wouldn't be there. I threw a fit and got upset and he didn't go, should I have let him?
Tell me if I'm wrong here.
My husband's sil has covid. She's obviously quarantining in her house but is still loving on her kids and husband. I'm sorry but if I had it I would lock myself in a room.
She hasn't gotten her kids tested... they're obviously doing the whole remote learning and quarantining for two weeks but she plans to send them back without testing them on the Monday after Thanksgiving 😬😱.
My husband thinks I'm overreacting but I told him I don't want to see them on Christmas....
Will your Mom be in the delivery room?
My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
Thank you ladies!! That's what I will do and you definitely all made me feel better. :) I wasn't sure if I was being mean for feeling that way, lol. @brafordfamily22 @lil_bigmama @tayek @lovemyson_610
