lol im gna do that i spoke to my partner last night and he said its what we want whether hell b the bad guy with his family is something else if not ill bite the bullet and say but ill defo tell the midwife when im in just to back it up xx

@babymama2013, I was like that! All I wanted in was my partner and Mum! I told everyone this and my MIL was adamant she'd be in the waiting room and be in as soon as I had Harry! When my OH went to the toilet I shared my concern with my midwife and she said don't worry we won't let her in! You tell me who you do and don't want in and I'll be the bad guy! It made me feel so much better & they didn't let anyone in!xx

My hospital is quite strict they dont really like visitors only partner and own kids, which i think is a good thing sometimes, but last baby i had there was a woman there who had her half the family there so 10 people round the bed and others were complaining, suppose its what u prefer, i always say visit at home once we r settled in but some people dont take no for an answer x

It doesn't matter what partner says, the hospital will honour your wishes hun x

its if my partner sticks to it i no my mom will have to no bcuz shell have my daughter for me whilst im in... but i might just have a quiet word when he isnt looking to the staff in charge and say i dont want anyone in who isnt my partner they should listen to me shouldnt they?? and if the babies am in neonatal they wont let them in either?? x

Don't message or ring anyone once babies are here until your ready @babymama2013 Also they'll be visiting hours so they won't be able to come anytime of day which should help unwanted visitors lol.

put restrictions in place with the hospital they should respect your wishes xx

I've wrote a list of people who I'm allowing up to the home when my twins are born and given it to the hospital. like yourself we don't know whats going to happen or when, c section/labour/induced either way I will want parents only then very close friends that have been there for me through. I'm having 3 birthing partners tho lol!! Apparently I'll need it ha xx

i wouldnt mind my family are understanding and say ok they get it why should they see the babies b4 me if its a worst case scenario my other halfs family are the ones who seem to think its ok to just presume i dont wanna b the evil one but my partner wont say nothing to them tbf they are making me dread it there not even here yet and there saying what they will and will not b doing xx

I didn't have this problem but you just need to tell them that you just want some family time to begin with and you will message them when they are welcome to come up and visit and you know that you and your babies are ok for visitors. You need to tell them otherwise it will get you down bless you. xx @babymama2013
