Mother in laws

It’s your choice and don’t let anyone make you feel bad! Have who YOU want only! Xx

Eurghh I hate how some people think it’s there right to be there. I didn’t even have my own mother there although I love her. I just wanted it to be me and my partner. Tell her hospital only allows two birthing partners on the ward so she could be waiting for hours just on hospital grounds. And hopefully you’ll be discharged not long after baby is born so no time for visitors there. I had to have the awkward convo with MIL saying she’s not coming with me to try on wedding dresses she assumed she was. I’m literally just taking my mum as I’ll be postpartum and not confident she didn’t take it too well but she has a daughter to experience it with in the future x

Ask her if she feels comfortable being naked and shitting in front of you. If she says that you’re being ridiculous of course she wouldn’t, then tell her that’s why she’s not going to be there for your birth! It’s not a spectator sport. Or you could just say that there’s only two birth partners allowed (which is the case for most hospitals)

They won't allow her in anyways if she wants to sit down and wait in the canteen I don't see it being an issue. It may be her first grandchild she may just be really excited

Tell her to do one 😂😂😂 such entitlement !!

I would have just said no you won't 🤣

Set boundaries now before the baby is here.

Your birth, your choice. She may not have the option if the hospital only allow a max of 2 birth partners

If she wants to sit in the hospital cafe you can't stop her, but obviously she doesn't have to be one of your chosen birth partners or be allowed in any of the maternity areas.

I'm not even having visitors in hospital. Honestly, set your boundaries now x

My first birth it was my partner and my mum and this time it’s just going to be my partner and tbh I’m actually quite worried because he never really helped out when I was in labour with my LG but my mum was by my side and more helping but then again they have been their since 9am the morning before and he is the driver and I’m not having visitors this time round either.
