Should just be husband and wife
I went through this with my first kid my ex and his mother demanded for her to be in the room and it was her him and my mother and stepsister and it was so stressful and when I had my second kid it was just me and my boyfriend but before I had her I had my mom and my sister and a few friends in the room till I was getting ready to have her and they left the room and my in laws came after work but like every one said its ur body it’s ur choose to have in the room and if things get stressful have the right to kick everything one out beisides ur husband and if they get mad then let them get mad

So you can always tell your doctor that you feel uncomfortable about the situation and the doctor can tell them I’m sorry only the husband is allowed. His delivery room his rules. That way your not the bad guy 
and your problem is solved.

Folloe ur instincts. I would never ask that of my daughter or even daughters in law. That is a private and personal moment between husband and wife. Stand ur ground and make sure u tell doctor and nurses. U need to be comfortable and not stressed.

It’s your body your choice I wouldn’t allow it they ridiculous
Eh. I would just have my husband in there, no one else.
Tell them sure, no problem, but the next time they need to pop a turd out, you want them on the table so you can invite your family to watch! Maybe that will shed some light on it!
You are the one that is pushing out that baby…it’s your choice! Tell your husband that you’d be happy to have them in the waiting room so as soon as the baby is here and you’re ready to be seen, they can be one of the first ones to see the precious little one….right after your mom of course!
I say if his mom can’t be in there why should you be able to have your mom? Yes it’s u that’s going to be all open but u need to consider ur baby daddy wishes also. As far as sister in law n all that she can wait in waiting room

Tell your husband that the only person who has to be there is YOU and that if he feels that strongly about your in-laws being in the room he can wait with them at their house for baby a announcement

As soon as they demanded that 100% guarantees they are not allowed. Might have considered it if they had asked nicely and been cordial. But demanding for things at YOUR delivery…
would not allow them at all. The nurses will back you up and only allow who you want there. Your husband needs to be supporting you and your decision. Not acceptable at all.

Straight up tell them, you can wait in the waiting room! It is MOTHERS CHOICE!
My hospital only let 2 people in and that was before covid. My in laws were in the waiting room, shoot so was my mom and sister. 
Use the Hospital as the bad guy a lot of places due to covid are only allowing 1 person in with women in labor right now

How would he feel had it been reversed and men gave birth out their “hole”. Would he be comfy with your mom and brother/sister in there staring at his hole? Your pushing, your body…your way
Tell your husband you want an intimate moment with just HIM. his mother and sister are more than welcome to wait in the waiting room and once you’ve had a moment with your husband and child, they can be allowed in to see the baby. Ask him if he’d feel comfortable if he was the one pushing out a baby and YOUR mom wanted to be in there to watch?
Tell your husband to SUCK IT UP!!! You are the one having the baby! It’s your choice!
I had my partner and my mom in the room with me both times as I did not feel comfortable with my partners Mum being in their…… but she was their waiting at the hospital to come in after.
But while your in labour you don’t really care who is around and my mum that was in their was not sitting their looking at my vagina she gave me space and was at the top end of me. Maybe if you do let them in give them boundaries.
But at the end of the day your giving birth it’s your choice.
Your baby, your decision. When your husband, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, etc spew forth life from their loins, they can choose to invite a basketball team if they want.
Honey, honestly. Just say no. You aren’t comfortable with it. This isn’t a show that you are putting on, it’s a medical procedure FFS. If hubby keeps it up he can wait in the waiting room with them.

Just tell them. You are giving birth DO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS. I think your mom and husband is the OBVIOUS CHOICE. And if he doesn’t like it HE CAN SIT IN THE WAITING ROOM with mom and sis. Stand up for yourself and your baby now because it doesn’t sound like hubby has your back at all.

Unless he is the one that’s on display and vulnerable he doesn’t get a a day!
I would 100% ask him how would he feel if all his bits were on display with your mum and sister in the room how would he feel?
Birth is solely about you, it’s about how you feel, what makes you feel safe and secure. Labour and delivery are hard and exhausting already without having extra stress in the room.

It’s up to you not them and your husband should side with you tell the doctor’s your choice and he can’t tell them or tell them to go to hell that’s the way you want it if he doesn’t like it he can sit out in the waiting room with his mom & sister I’m with you

If you don’t feel comfortable say No! Would your husband want your mom and sister staring at his privates I highly doubt it. I had my mom and husband. No way anyone else would have been allowed in there!

It’s going to be stressful enough without the added uncomfortable feeling they will add. Plus it is your body! You do whatever you feel will make it easier on you because that will also make it easier for your newborn.
Also I’m pretty sure only one person is allowed in with you anymore. So tell whoever you want to be there and the rest can wait outside.
Remember, please, that what you feel will be passed to your child until the cord is cut. Nervous anxiety will make it harder on you both. So breathe, relax, talk to your child during labour, and just let it happen.

Absolutely not! Your body, your child, your rules!! If your husband isnt supporting you in this then throw him out too! You are a strong woman and you can do this on your own! If he insist on having them there then ask him how would he feel if he was on that bed and had his legs open for everyone whom hes not comfortable with get a visual of his privates… that will put him in his place. Good luck! #yougotthismama

I’d tell them your not comfortable as it’s a private emotional moment for you and YOUR new family, and that they are more than welcome to come after but it’s your body. It’s not a show for everyone. Especially during Covid right now. Don’t let anyone guilt you, your body your choice on who’s there. He isn’t the one that’ll be spread eagle open pushing out an entire human!!! He needs to understand you are entitled to boundaries and there is nothing selfish about that. He’s selfish for trying to force you into something you are NOT comfortable with.

Just do you and your Husband!!! It’s your personal time to meet your new baby. Let them come visit after the baby is born.
You simply tell the nurses or doctors and they can easily refuse them… that’s their job. My ex’s mother did the same thing and they escorted her out.
It’s not his vagina! End of sentence. And he is supposed to be a man, not a whooped little mammas boy. No means no. And you owe them nothing. Stand ur ground. This is ur moment, ur body and if they don’t get that, oh fkin well! Good luck sweetheart
Tell them they can wait outside I don’t understand why people think they need to be right in there. This is really about mom and partner. If you say no then partner needs to back you . I never had an audience and I am not sure why they need to be that involved. They can get over it. I’m sorry they don’t understand.

It’s your body and your right to have who you want in the room and you have the right to tell them NO!
Some demands don’t work
Will your hospital even allow that many people? I know mine is only restricted to 2 people.
It’s your choice tho. I had a similar situation with same MIL & SIL. They were already there while I was labor & when I was ready to push my MIL comes to my bedside & asked me if they can stay. I told her no. There’s already too many people in here. Later I found out they were upset, but I did not care. I just pushed out a human. Leave me alone. Lol

Because of COVID most hospitals are limiting visitors. With that in mind it is totally up to you and your S/O to decide who will be there. End of conversation. No apologies.

Tell them you have a boundary and it’s your decision who is allowed in the room. It’s not their choice it’s yours. Don’t feel bad. Be firm and sure in your word. You get to choose your birthing experience, not them.
Let your doctor know and he/she will keep them out. This is your special time and you should be in contol of who is there.
For my first I had my husband and my mom. For my second it was just my husband. It’s a special moment for the parents. I agree it’s special for the grandparents, but it’s not really about them. You want it to be as stress free as possible. Also with Covid I would check with your doctor about the amount of people in the room. I know some hospitals were only allowing 1 person. Eventually they will get over it once baby comes. Just do what’s best for you. Best of luck!

I get it that they want to be in their but it’s not about them, it’s about you! And if you don’t feel comfortable then they have to respect that wether y’all are close or not. I have three sons and when that day comes for them to have wives and children I will respect their wives wishes and if they don’t want me in the delivery room I will totally respect that and that’s just something his in-laws have to get over. This beautiful moment is about you and your baby and whatever makes you happy is how it should be.

Best decision of my life was just having my husband in the delivery room with me. It was such an intimate moment and im glad it was just us two. I always felt weird hearing that some women want their mothers in the delivery room. I am super close with my mother but would have felt uncomfortable having her there.

Ask how he would feel if it were your mom and dad in the room watching him pass a kidney stone. Tell them no. If you’re not comfortable with that- You can also talk to your doctor- tell them you’re uncomfortable and need a way out. Then your doctor can say “Sorry only 1 other person in the room aside from the partner of the mother.”

I had a baby literally a month ago tomorrow the dad was the only person allowed in delivery with me and they had visiting hrs for 4 hrs during certain times and no more than 2 was allowed at any given time during those hrs amd no one under 12 yrs old so I would tell all of them to suck it up buttercup… and personally with both of mine covid or not I only wanted their dad with me for labor and delivery
I kinda have to agree with the husband. I can’t see why your SIL needs to be in there, and it’s ultimately YOUR choice, but in my opinion, maybe mom, MIL and hubby. Just set some clear boundaries beforehand… like MIL stays at your head and holds your hand…make it known that you don’t want her anywhere near your jayjay. I mean, while the woman is the one to deliver, that’s your moms grand baby and his moms grand baby. But again, I can’t see why SIL would need to be there.

I think your Mom and your husband. After all when we hurt, we always want our Mom’s. You can explain to your husband that you feel uncomfortable with his mother and sister in their with you because you will be in pain (fact) and you don’twant anyone to see you in pain that you are uncomfortable with. They can be right outside the door, or if you do allow them in, tell them they have to stand by your head. I will admit that I never ever wanted to see a baby come into this world until I did. My grandson was born and I saw all of it. To me, it was a beautiful miracle. It was my daughter giving birth, but it was so meaningful to me. My grandson and I have a special bond because of it.

Call the hospital and see what their guidelines are. They will probably only let two people there, and tell them that there are guidelines you have to follow and that doesn’t include so many people

Yes they maybe your family also but your need for privacy should be respected. Im pretty sure your husband don’t bare all his nakedness to his mom and sister?? Besides what woman wants a person who dislikes her to look at there ass or vag mid push??? Absolutely not!!! If it were me I’d tell the nurse to tell them they can’t be in the room due to covid restrictions. Then your off the hook without being the bad guy and your private parts stay private. Just pray your mil and sil don’t move into your house for an extended visit while your in the hospital.
Say NO NO NO NO NO!!! DO NOT BE PRESSURED INTO ANYTHING. There’s so much I would change about my first few hours and days after birth but I gave into pressure. Do what’s best for you xxx
No. They can see the baby AFTER you are recovered and baby is cleared. They aren’t owed ANYTHING and can be banned if necessary. Your husband is the same way. Iy is what YOU need to have a safe and comfortable birth.
Stand your ground! You want this time to be as peaceful as possible for you and baby. Hell if my partner didn’t back me he could wait in the delivery room too. No one is entitled to see you in such a beautiful but vulnerable light.
Labor is hard enough. Take care of yourself. Maybe your husband would be more comfortable in the waiting room with your mother.
I was only allowed 1 due to covid and emergency c section

They may not be allowed per covid restrictions. Ask your doctor on the side to write you up something that says one person only in delivery due to restrictions. I bet you they already have something. That way you’re not perceived as selfish and you are still comfortable with YOUR birthing plan for them not being in the room.

Have the nurses be the bitch and tell them they have to wait outside. That’s what we did when I worked mother/baby. No skin off my back to kick ppl out for my pts.
You realize you’re allowed to say “NO” right? If they start trouble the Nurses got your back and will nip that in the butt real quick.
Nope. My MIL took it upon herself to show up for my first delivery. Horrible experience. I asked my husband to have her leave. He refused because my mother was there.

Don’t even worry about your man cause he should be on your side in this not their’s!!! Please make sure you are happy!!!
If you don’t want them in there then don’t allow it, when I had my son I was told I could have anyone removed at any time (including his father because he was being an idiot and drunk) this is your special moment so do it how you want and don’t let anyone pressure you into anything you don’t want. Your going thru enough as is trying to bring a life into this world you don’t need added stress on top of it.

Your life your baby your rules. The midwife n nurse even doctor would have to respect your rule & your husband too.
Say No! It’s your delivery and only yours. Labor is about you and your comfort.
It is your decision, and your husband should back you on this. That baby is coming out of your womb so you have final say. Your Mom and husband is more than enough people.
Tell the nurses that you feel uncomfortable with them in the delivery room with you and that you don’t want them in there. They will usually go by your wishes.
You tell them NO! it’s your body and your choice. Do not feel bad for anything
