I need to ask you guys something because I want to make sure I'm not crazy....
I'm having my first child and I told my fiancé that I want him and my mom who's my best friend in the room with me when I deliver. My fiancé basically thinks it's childish for me to want my mom there for her first grandchild's birth.... he said he's never known anyone to have their parents in the room, he thinks it should just be him and I. But I've never known anyone to NOT want their mom there. Am I wrong for wanting my mom there? She's the only one who will understand what I'm going through or know what to do to help me, she's always been there for me. I need answers / opinions please. I'm so frustrated.

Completely normal. My mom was there for the birth of my first. Then she was babysitting my first for the birth of my second lol

It's totally normal to have your mom in the room with you. He's a man and he doesn't understand. I'm having my mom too

@babymaciesmomma, @moorrggiee ok that's what I thought but he has turned this whole thing into an argument. It's exhausting.

Lol men are weird. Yeah it's his experience too but it's YOU giving birth. YOU are the main focus. YOU are the one experiencing it and needing support. You should get to decide.

I mean he isn't getting a say in this (as mean as that sounds) she's going to be there regardless of what he thinks/says. I just don't understand his logic. I don't understand why it's a big deal...

He's tripping big time. Is he a little jealous of your relationship?

@gcpaschal, I mean not that I know of? Then again I'm sure he wouldn't tell me... I have no idea to be honest. I didn't even know this was something I had to discuss. I'm assuming because he's a guy he doesn't understand but I really don't even know. Either way she will be there and if he has a problem with it he can stay outside the room lol

My mom was there for my first two births. She couldn't come this time because of work and I was really sad. It's YOUR birth, not his. Don't let him change your mind.

@gcpaschal, but his parents were very hard on him as a child so idk if that has anything to do with it?

@housfullofgrls, trust me it won't. Like I said, if he has a problem with it then he either needs to suck it up or stand outside the room. I just don't have the energy to argue.

Honey, YOU are having this baby, not him, not anyone else. You are in your full right to invite whoever you want, and kick the heck out whoever you don't want. No One has the right to tell YOU what YOU need. :)

I was gonna have my mom with me too but I had a c-section so that didn't happen. a lot of women in fact most want their mom's in there because they have been through labor and everything.

@xalyssasays, I really wonder if deep down he wishes he had a better relationship with his parents. I don't have a good relationship with my Mom. It was just hubby and I when I had our baby. I wish I had a great relationship with my Mom. I would have wanted her there.
