So I don't want my mom in the labor room. I felt forced to have her in there. It wasn't really discussed but assumed on her end she was welcome and not addressed by me bc I didn't want to argue. Well the conversation came up about my MIL who I don't even want at the hospital when I'm in labor. My mom said "but you want me in the room right" I said "in all honesty I am very private. I truly don't want anyone in there except my husband. I know that I will never never be able to live it down so you'll be in there as well". Of course she became all offended and is acting very distant from me. I truly feel like I never get to speak my mind or make my own choices without being chastised by her. It's such a shame.

Don't let that tough situation change your mind. It's a special moment for you and your husband stick to your guns and if she's going to be upset just let her. She had her time to give birth now it's yours. You're going to do great 💕

It's your baby and it's your choice, she will have to live with your decision.

I felt the same way. I didn't even want people to visit me in the hospital. I had them all meet him when we got settled in at home. When I was in labor, close to giving birth, my mom, dad, brother, sister and grandparents all showed up to wait. My GPA had to go to bed for work. And my brother, sister, mom and dad lived an hour away and it was late so they left too. My gma was all that was left. I was just about to start pushing and I told my fiance to go get her since she's all alone. I'm so modest it isn't even funny. But in that moment I didn't care if she was there or not. I was focused on getting my baby out safely. I even had her take pics! haha. Oh well, I wouldn't change it. But your mom could be a little more understanding! It's not her day. I didn't want my mom in there either and she wasn't upset by it at all. I felt bad since my gma got to see him be born and my mom didn't but it's honestly how I would have wanted to go if I had to pick between them.

I don't want my Mom in the room either I don't find this weird, even if you have a strong relationship with your Mother sometimes they feel the need to over react or take over in the delivery room... which I know my Mom will def do. Just like u said I'd rather it just be a special time for me and my husband.
