delivery room

So ever since i became pregnant ive fallin out with both my sisters im 16 years old and my older sister is 18 going on 19 but she acts like shes miss perfect and that she knows everything there is to know when she doesnt have a kid of her own she also doesnt like the father of my unborn son. she has gotten into my moms head saying lies about him. so i asked him if he just wanted it to be him in the delivery room which i would understand because my family always talks **** about him when hes not around and hes very respectful so my mom got upset when she asked who would be in the delivery room and i said just one person indicating him because she feels i dont want her involved in my pregnancy or in my sons life plus shes only had all girls so shes really excited about it. I just feel its something him and i need to experience together and i dont want any tention while im in labor . Am i wrong for not wanting her in there with me ?

My boyfriend is going to be the only person in the delivery room with me, but then again we're 25 and already share an apartment together. We were all but down the aisle, but the baby put a halt to that for the time being, lol. Seeing as you're 16 and it's your mother's roof that you'll be residing under I think it's only fair to include her... But try not to be so hard on her. I know that my Mom would not have been thrilled about me getting pregnant at 16, much less like the boy who knocked me up. And also, you have to remember that she's probably very excited, yet still sees you as her little girl. Cut her a little shack, Mama. :) But at the end of the day, it is your decision and yours alone. The father should definitely be there because regardless of whether you two will work out or not, it's still half his, too.

Hey I started dating my husband at 15,got married at 20 and will be married for 3 years next month. So it's possible! You are delivering your baby not your mom so you should have who ever you want in the room with you. It's your experience. I reassure her that just because she's not in the room that it doesn't mean that she's isn't going to be apart of your sons life. Regardless if you and your son's father stay together, if he a good father and is trying to have his life on track that's what's going to be most important.

It's your body, your choice! I can understand why you wouldn't want anyone but your partner there. It's something you and your partner should go through together, no one else has the right to be involved in that. I don't want any female family members in delivery room while i'm pushing a baby out of my vagina. It would be too awkward and stressful! So to those who are basically saying that she's wrong for not wanting her mum there - It's her choice and her mum should get over it and respect her decision!!!

That's your mom and you are only 16 which probably means she'll be taking care of you and your baby so to exclude her wouldn't be wise and i wouldn't like a boy who got my 16 your old sister or daughter pregnant either just saying

Its your body, your baby, and your family. The choice is yours. The more people in the room the more stressed you will probably become anyways. Its not the birth they should be worried about but being in the Childs life every day afterwards anyway..

I don't think its wrong for u just to want it to b u and ur child's father. I somewhat understand since I had my first child at 16. But my situation was diff because I ended up going into early labor at 25 wks and had an emergency c section. Just remember that ur mom loves u and is prob very excited for her grandbaby. But I don't think u r in the wrong for not wanting anyone else in the room. Just try to explain it respectfully to ur mom. She will always b ur mom.
