Ugh I'm soo over trying to make everyone else happy when it comes to this birth! This is my fucking delivery, I am going to be the one going through all of the pain of childbirth and all I ask for is at least 48 hours of alone time and no visitors so the father of my baby and I can find our rhythm as new parents! Is that too much to ask for?? Am I crazy for wanting to bond alone with my new family and I don't want everyone and their mother holding my baby disturbing my chance to bond with my first born son!
I'm all about this being about you, your hubs, and yalls baby! You can tell the nurses that you want NO visitors to you or the baby for however long and they WILL honor that!! You need to be a family before you welcome anyone else in!! I put my foot down about just wanting the two of us in the delivery room. One of the nurses even took pictures for us!
Absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact the only reason my parents and sister will be there is to watch my 2 year old and have her meet the new baby before going to spend a few days with them.
@madibug96, @sarinunez my mom and sister are going to be in the room along with my fiancé. And my fiancé' mom made some comment about being able to make it in enough time to be in the room too, which by the way I already told her I don't want her in the room because it makes me uncomfortable even at the thought of that. And so I set her straight with what I want to happen after I give birth and she went crying to my fiancé saying I didn't want her to see the baby for a whole 48 hours after the baby is born. My mom and sister are going to be leaving right after the birth out respect for my wishes and they understand. But this bitch can't understand that it's my time not hers. Ugh
You're not crazy, I'm not calling anyone until after the baby is born. I already told my mom, because she's the only one who is going to feel a way.
I understand completely and think it's so beneficial to have that initial post birth time to bond with the baby as parents. I don't want anyone besides my boyfriend there with me after baby's first born, we've waited to meet her, we created her together! I think you and your SO probably feel the same way and rightfully so. I think it's so awesome your family is respecting your wishes btw! My family is furious which is why I probably won't be telling anyone until she is born already (no going back in time lol😉) let your SO mother complain all she wants, end of the day it's your baby and your birth and your choice. I would probably not tell her until you already have given birth and at least 24 hrs after baby's born. Don't even allow room for her to mess it up. Hope you have a great delivery & congrats!
