My Husband Is Mad I Don't Want My Mother-in-Law in the Delivery Room When I Give Birth: Advice?

Given the COVID situation she will be lucky of they allow her husband in.
You can ask the head nurse to handle it for you. They are usually really good and tactful.

Hahaha what a joke!
People need to consider the mother far more than they do currently. You’re the one sacrificing your body and life for 9 months and then going through labour which is often traumatic. Who is he or your mother in law to dictate what/who you should and shouldn’t have around at that time.
Such a private and special time. Do not give in. It is YOUR body and YOUR choice xx

Your body your choice.

It’s your birth story. It’s your body and private parts that will be out. It is your choice who is part of that personal moment. Don’t let him push you around

Lie and say that COVID won’t allow it!

YOUR UTERUS, YOUR CALL!! Next baby he can give birth. F*ck that.

Ok so silver lining
 Covid may make the decision for you. They are only allowing one person beside the mother here
 sometimes not even that.

Until he’s comfortable and willing to lay naked, spread eagle on a table in insane amounts of pain while taking a shiit in front of your dad he doesn’t get to think ab having an opinion. It’s YOUR labor you don’t have to allow shiit

I’m surprised they are letting more people then just your husband in the room. All the hospitals I know of are not letting anyone into the hospital except for one person.

Come have birth in my area, they are ONLY allowing the dad or your partner for your whole stay at the hospital. That way it doesn’t matter if he is mad or not.

You have 2 people to support you, have you thought about him. He needs some support also compromise instead of your sister it’s only fair to have your mother and his mother.
Better yet just make it you and him everyone else can sit in the lounge.

I always had 1 person in the room with me and that’s was my mother and I told him to everyone to fu off

This had to have been written prior to Covid because there is NO 3 people allowed right now
 anywhere.
I’m sure poster already gave birth and is preparing for them to go off to college. :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

Your vagina your choice. Would he want your mom in the room while he was naked. It’s about who you’re comfortable with not him. You’re lucky to even be allowed more than one person as most places only allow one person because of covid.

This is YOUR birth, not your MIL. If it makes you feel uncomfortable in any way then don’t have her. Your husband will have to get over it in my opinion :woman_shrugging:t2:

You’re the pt and you’re in charge. Tell the nurses what you want and they’ll make sure it happens. Luckily, with COVID being a thing, MIL shouldn’t be allowed anyhow.

With COVID only one person was allowed. I took my mother. My hubby stayed home with my other child. He saw the baby 3 days later

He’ll be lucky if he’s allowed in. My friend was all alone. Her hospital said not even one person. :woman_shrugging:t2:

I wanted only my husband and I. It’s a pretty personal thing. Plus ppl do tend to piss you off when in labor, so the fewer ppl there the less likely you will yell at them or say something mean :joy:

I told my sons father that if his mom wanted to be in a delivery room to watch her grandkid be born, she should’ve had a girl :woman_shrugging:t2: it’s your vagina it’s your decision

Your choice not his and with covid they likely arent gonna let anyone but your husband in anyways.

Tell him to whip his penis out in front of your family and stretch the pee hole out to oblivion and see how he likes it.

Tell him first he has to spread his legs on a bed and let your mom see. I’m sorry this just kills me that people think they can make that decision when they’re not the one pushing a baby out.

His opinion is irrelevant in this situation. Back in the day HE wouldn’t even be allowed. So play your position, daddy, and get your mother in line. :joy:

Tell him tough titties. You’re the one laying there in the open for everyone to see everything. If you’re not comfortable, you’re not comfortable. Simple as that. If he can’t understand that, then he’ll just have to be mad. :woman_shrugging:t3: Or tell him if he’s gonna throw a fit, he can set out too. Lol

You are the one giving birth, it’s not about anyone but you and what makes YOU comfortable. A smooth labor is what is most most important! Anyone who says differently is way off base! Other family can come in the room once the baby is born.

That is the most vulnerable you will ever be. The fact that your hospital allows that many people in now during the pandemic is shocking. If you say no. That’s the end of it. It’s not him pushing it out. I’m normally all for compromise but not on this

He should fucking respect your decision since yore LITERALLY THE ONE GIVING BIRTH?!

This is your birth. Heck I kicked my own mother out and I tried to kick my dr out and my husband. The pain made me crazy. But hey I needed the dr so dr stayed. But I didn’t want everyone looking at my vagina going through birth. TELL HIM WHEN HE PUSHES THE NEXT BABY OUT OF HIS PENIS HIS MOTHER GETS FRONT ROW SEATING. Cause new medical science will help him achieve this goal. Don’t feel guilty, you won’t be the first or last mom. I bet his mom didn’t like the choices she had during her moment of pushing either.

Are they even allowing other people on the delivery room? I’m due in 8 weeks and I was told only one person can be in there with me due to Covid. Why should it be her and not the father?

Sorry but your body, your rules. If you want your mother him and your sister, then that’s who it should be. Don’t be pressured to have someone there that you don’t want.

Also, I don’t know what area you are in, but with rising COVID cases there’s a good chance that you will only have 1 birth partner. I’m going in for a csection tomorrow morning and am only allowed one person in the hospital with me and absolutely no visitors allowed.

If you tell them you don’t want her there, she won’t be in there. This is about you giving birth, not about you making someone else happy. I only had my husband with me both times I gave birth and I’m glad. It’s a very vulnerable time for both of you.

The choice is up to you I however did have my mnlaw in the room up until the delivery then she came back in afterwards I didn’t mind her there she’s always been real helpful to us and my parents we’re on their way and no problem waiting in the waiting room I didn’t even have my sis in there but my sis n law was there because she’s our kids god parents my sis didn’t mind and besides my family knew they would have plenty of time with my kid after he was born we even went to live with my parents for about a month till I recovered to go home so everyone had their time with my son we all just understood and have respect for each other

Please don’t attack me, but I’ll be expecting to go in the room if and when my grandchild enters the world :earth_americas: :rofl::joy:

Birthing your baby is one of the most magical moments we experience in our lives. You need to be one hundred percent comfortable with who is in the room, and if he cares about you and how this experience is for you then he will do whatever you want. It’s not about him. He doesn’t have to sit in the styrups while your dad watches him get probed. Would he be uncomfortable? Yes. That’s all there is. Up to you and you ONLY mamma!

I personally would compromise. Making him feel like everything is only your decision will discourage him as a parent.

Your right. It’s your body. Your choice who’s in the room. Especially during these times. He should understand that. If it was him spread open for everyone to see I’m sure he’d be singing a different tune.

Its YOUR delivery. What you say literally goes. The nurses will chuck Hubby to the curb if you tell them to. While I understand wanting your support team there, it is understandable that he feels like his mother is being left out since yours will be there. Is there any way you can just have it be the two of you during delivery then theres no favorites?

Perhaps you could have both of them visit while your labor progresses and then wait outside during the actual delivery?

Honestly your husband isnt the one doing the work. His opinion doesnt matter. You pick who you pick. End of story. If he gets pissed then hes clearly selfish and blind to the situation at hand.

Tell him if hes willing to lay naked in front of your mom with his legs in stirrups and squeeze out a turd, then his mom can be in the room

My mum came in immediately afterwards. So she could do that, she should be part of it but so many people in the room isn’t really necessary

It is the most vulnerable time of your life and your basically naked?! Why would your MIL want to invade such a private moment? You need your mother and husband by your side for support
at least I did :heart:

Tell her you just don’t feel comfortable,she and your husband can wait in the waiting area

I only had my mom & my fiancĂ© (kids dad) in the room! Don’t feel any type of way about it. They were mad/upset at first but they got over it
 and to be honest even if they didn’t get over it I would not have cared! It is my body, I am birthing the child, my choice. I am and always have been very modest so it was just that way with me. I wouldn’t even let my mom stand any further down than my head :joy:

Don’t do something that’s going to take away from the experience of having your baby!! He’ll get over it

My opinion is that is her grandchild just as it is your mothers grandchild. Imagine telling your mother that she can’t come in the room when her grandchild is born? Or say that to your mother feel that not waiting to hurt your Mother in your gut? Watch the look on your moms face the absolute heartbreak. That’s what your expecting him to do. If you are married you should treat your Mother and mother in law with the same respect.

Pretty sure hospitals don’t allow anyone else but the birth coach in the room during COVID times. Ask the hospital about that?

Just say right out NO!!

Its a good thing you’re the mother. And what you say will go. Your nurses and doctor will listen to you. So, if you tell them you don’t want anyone in there then you tell them. You speak up mama. Goodluck to you!

It is absolutely your choice but think of it like this
if you had/have a son/s wouldn’t you want to see your grand babies born? It may seem far off but trust me, it goes by quick. To add to that wouldn’t ypu want your son to have you there with him if he wanted you there. Not trying to make you feel guilty but tbh in most cases you won’t even be paying any attention to who is there once ypu are in active labor and you likely will not care at all. Just saying. Try to see it from the other side.
Still your choice in the end. I would suggest letting her stay until push time. Bu then ypu may decide you don’t care anymore and if you still don’t want her to stay she can go. I would say discuss it with your doctor so they know your plan.

If you’re not comfortable then she shouldn’t be in there. Giving birth is a big deal and he’s not the one doing it. She can see the baby afterwards.

Pick the three ppl YOU want in there. You need to be comfortable and free of stress when delivering your baby. Have you mother in law wait in the waiting room or have her come after you give birth.

I was my daughters birth partner along with her partner but I wouldn’t expect to be in the room when my daughter in law has a baby. I was there for my daughter’s needs only and no other reason

Tell your husband it’s not his coochie and when he pushes a child out then he can have a say!! Nobody wants their mother in law looking at their lady bits that’s crazy! You can tell the nurses and they will insure to follow your wishes! Tell him his mother can come in as soon as your lady bits are covered up!! Your body your choice!!

My husband would never have even asked me about his mother. But in order to avoid any feelings about the situation, I opted to only have my husband. With my first, both of my parents also hung out while I labored (dilating and that whole bit) but everyone but hubby left when the pushing started. With our second, I didn’t even bother with that and just had my husband- so much more preferable, IMO. If this is your first, I’d highly recommend considering how special an occasion this is for you and your husband, and just have it be the two of you.

You’re giving birth, your choice. She and anyone else you chose can wait in the waiting area.

You do what makes you happy. If you’re uncomfortable. Then she’s not allowed in the room for the birth

The only person who needs Support is you that day so it’s only right you get to choose who’s there . He shouldn’t be making it a big deal especially now . You don’t need stress .

I had MY MOTHER in there. Not my husbands! Sorry she can’t see my coochie, she’s my mother in law
 :nauseated_face: Gross! I don’t want you see hers either. Sorry bout it’s weird she even wants to be in there!

People fail to understand that it is YOUR body on display. YOU are a patient that needs to be tended to and monitored as well as the baby. Nobody has a right to watch you give birth if you don’t want them to. The last thing you need is to be nervous, uncomfortable, angry, resentful, stressed out, etc during labor and delivery because someone is in the room watching every detail and hearing your private medical business that you don’t want there. People fail to think about the mother because all they want is to see the baby.

Since virus I think they only allowing one if that now.And sure it still be here in two months

NOPE! JUST NO!! You have only who you are comfortable with. No way do you have to have her in there. Wow some dudes have no idea hey

Hell no,
Don’t do it. Your day, your body. It’s not about anyone else but you and what you want. It’s the one time you can be purely selfish and everyone has to accept it. It’s a once in a life time moment and you don’t want to look back and only remember being uncomfortable with her being there. Both of them
Should understand that it’s all about you on the day and if they don’t, they’re being completely unreasonable.
