Don’t let her ruin this special day for you and your bf. You won’t regret it. As a matter of fact, you’ll probably appreciate it! My Mom showed up drunk when I was in labor so I speak from experience, unfortunately. I know that’s not the same, but just wanted to give my opinion. Lol. Good luck to ya’ll! Happy Thanksgiving! :wink:

You only have your baby once and you want to be able to focus on him/her not family tension/drama.

I would absolutely not. I get along great with my mom and mil. Only my husband, I, and the staff were there for both daughters births. Grandparents met them at less than an hour old.

I wanted no one but me and babydad in the room both times (two diffrent dads, with younger dad). I could tell right off the back that my now soon to be husband’s mother didn’t like me. I’m Mexican, her white. it’s the reason I felt she didn’t like me. idk. But she sounds toxic. don’t have people in the room that’ll make Things uncomfortable for you and baby.

I have never had a good relationship with any of my mother in laws and that life I don’t do the same with mine but its life and I don’t put up with it.

Umm no the inlaw doesn’t need in the delivery room! I won’t even let my mom she was stressing me out LOL I had the Dr kick her out. They came in before but not during.

Am I the only one getting stuck on the part where mum says “start treating me like a mum”? If you are old enough to have your own family, you need to be treating her as an adult. Your partner should be showing respect but not rolling over and doing as he is told like a dog or small child. She needs to treat him as an adult too, and by extension you! Don’t have her in the room with you, she doesn’t need to be there. That is the moment that you and your partner meet your new born. She is now extended family, she can wait until you’ve washed up, got baby fed and cleaned and dressed.

Focus on the family that cares and don’t let anyone negative into the delivery room with you so they can’t steal your joy.

Dont waste ur time if she rude u

Don’t have her in the delivery room, that’s a special moment with your S/O. Don’t risk the chance of her ruining it

Your boyfriend is the only person you need in the delivery room. His mom can wait in the waiting room, better yet I wouldn’t even call her to tell her you’re going into labor. :woman_shrugging:

I’m so glad my dad is head of security at the hospital. Lol. I told everyone that he’ll be more than happy to escort you out in hand cuffs if you cant respect my wishes. :woman_shrugging:t4:

Stop wasting time on her and concentrate on yourself and baby and boyfriend. She may cause more trouble after baby is born try and be independent for yourselves and not her.

Just your BF with you in delivery room. His family seem to know her well. A good relationship with her might not be possible.

Yeah only you and your bf in the room. You need to set boundaries now or it will blow up more later

I wouldn’t tell her when I was in labor I would invite aunt instead

I personally think u should only invite ur hubby/bf in the room. No one else. If this is ur first baby. Take the time to have a nice moment with ur family. :heart_eyes:

That’s YOUR choice. Personally i had my mom and sister and husband all in and would’ve had my in laws in to but they’re in a different country. Nothing wrong with her being there but any drama and they’ll put her out.

Delivery room is for you and bf. Grandmas go to the waiting room during delivery. If she is a good Grandma to her other grandbaby,she will be a good grandma to yours. My son and I have tension between us,but I adore my grandbabies. Once she knows were she fits into the babies world,tension should get better.
