thank you all so much! I don't care that they're there but they will not be in the room while I'm pushing him out. but in all honesty I kinda don't wanna let anyone know when I go into labor. I'll let them know when he's out. but my husband would be calling everybody...not disrespecting my wishes but he's just really excited and can't wait

I was in the exact same position and I had to put my foot down. Luckily he backed me up. Then I told my nurses to kick everyone out when anything was about to happen and they were great!

People shouldn't be rude about it and respect your wishes. Everyone was there when my daughter was born and due to lack of sleep, I didn't get much time with her till the last day I was there. But this time, it's inly me and the dad. My dad, stepmom, and little sister will be there to watch my daughter (they will wait so that my daughter can meet her baby sister when she's born, but then will take her home with them until we leave the hospital). My older sister will be there to keep me company cause my baby's father's lives in Kentucky and will have to come down at the last minute. But it's only me and him and baby from the time we get to my room, to the time we leave the hospital. My older sister is very upset with it. But she will either suck it up, or simply not be a part of the child's life. Because I have gone through too much with my oldest with people not respecting my wishes and simply just doing whatever they damn well please and I'm not having it anymore.

my husband says it's totally up to me. I'm just not comfortable with his family let alone his mother checking out my junk and their the kind to "tell me what to do" while I'm already freaking out about the fact that I'm about to poo a baby outa my junk lol you know my husband has seen it and knows what's coming but I don't want them to be there taking pictures and stuff

I had told my mom I would want her in there when I first found out, now that im half way through, I dont necessarily want her to be in the room while I'm pushing. And I feel bad about it, but I want it to be just me and my SO

I don't ever tell ppl I'm in labor. I post and start tell the news after I'm home. ..baby number 3 will be the same way

You are definitely not a horrible person.... I only want my husband there and I don't feel bad about it. My mom was like "maybe I can be in there on your second or third?" And I still was like nope.... Lol. I don't feel like that needs to be shared with the world. It's such a personal and beautiful thing that I really just want to experience with my husband.

just let nurse know absolutely no visitation. I'm the say way

No not horrible, it's your choice.

I don't want anyone but my SO in there either. Don't feel bad. You do what works for you. Don't let them guilt you or make you feel like you have to do anything.

its your decision and if they push it all you have to do is tell the nurses you dont want them in there and they have to leave . only my mom and fiancé will be back there .
