Idk if it's just me, but I LOVED having my son with just my husband in the room (with doctors) it felt so much more intimate and we had family bonding time just us 3. I am planning on doing this with the birth of our daughter in June but his family is so upset about it. They want to be in there. TBH, I don't care. I don't want them there during that time. I don't feel comfortable with someone staring into my birth canal lol. Also I don't want people reaching and grabbing for my baby girl right after she's born. Having him early in the AM (1:05) was such a blessing really, because no one came and bothered us. Do you think I'm being selfish?
@luceromommy, no it's not my family. I don't really associate with much of my family but HIS family I do associate with and they think they should be in there. I don't even want anyone in there for HOURS after she's born.
It's your family. Why try to make everyone happy when it makes you anything but happy? Not worth it.
@savannahkbrown that's pretty ridiculous. His mom's solution was to come in right after I gave birth.
@amandacn, I had a few of his family members not even come to the hospital at all since they couldn't be in there for the birth
I don't think you're being selfish. My fiances mom was really offended that I didn't want her in the room. But she got over it.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant you and your hubby are a family. Don't let anyone get in the way of being happy. Cuz at the end of the day it's just you both and the kid(s)
