labor day

[Makayla213]

So I told my mom in the middle of an argument that I didn't want her in the room with me while I was in labor. She thinks I just said it because I was mad. But its the truth. I don't want her in the room. I didn't want her in the room with my daughter either, but didn't have the balls to tell her. We have never been close. We haven't even hugged in 7 years. How can I tell her without it causing another argument?

I know how that is! When I had my daughter my brothers girlfriend at the time came and sat in the room without even asking me. She got off work and came to the room since she worked at the hospital. Then she had the nerve to tell me I shouldnt hold my breath I shouldn't be getting up and down I shouldn't do this or that or whatever else. That I would cause myself to need a c-section and all this crap. I yelled at her like I have never yelled before.

I don't want my mom in the room either. With my son, it was horrible. I was in labor 18 hours..haven't ate anything. I was getting mad already, someone went to taco bell and she brings her burrito in the room while its about time for me to push. Pulls a chair up by my head, takes her shoes off, props them up on my bed and starts eating the dang thing and staring at me like she's watching a movie! I was so mad I yelled at her. Then she grabbed my hand with the IV in it and it pushed the needle down and it hurt. I just jerked my hand away and said ouch and she started crying then got mad at me. She never asked if she could take pictures of my son being born. I didn't know it but a few months later she has a photo album of it. She makes everything worse. Don't want to go through it again. But the nice person I am..its hard for me to say no.

Get her to watch your daughter while you are in labor. That way she still feels useful but is out of your hair.

It shouldnt be a cause of argument. Ur giving birth so whatever makes you more comfortable is what u should do. And she has no right to get upset! Who are you going to have in  the room? If its ur bf just tell her this time around ur doing this with ur bf and thats it. She doesnt need to know if there will be more people or who is actually going to be there. Just make it clear its not up for discussion.
