Husband wants his family in the delivery room.?
Answer:
It's your body, your choice. Do what makes you feel the most comfortable. It is not his privates that will be exposed to everyone in the room, it is yours!!
You are the one giving birth, so it is totally your decision. If you are uncomfortable, that will only make your delivery that much harder. Tell him when he delivers a baby, he can chose who is in the delivery room.
if thats the case you shouldnt have anyone in the room but your married you need to compromise
No, especially if you are not comfortable with it.
Heck no! You are the one being in a provocative position and having this baby. I would have a fit!! Of course I wouldn't even let my family in there, it would have made me so uncomfortable. I didn't even like it when he invited his family to stay with us right after we brought my son home. That was bad enough. Stand your ground on this one. That is such a terrible thing for him to ask of you.
if you are not ok with it then no but if it will cause a problem between you two just tell everyone that your husband will be the only one able to come in good luck
No. It is your body that is going to be exposed and if you are comfortable with your mom and your sister being in the room then they should be. But you don't have to have people you are not comfortable with being in the room. I would tell your husband that you are going to be naked, at least from the waist down, and are not comfortable with his family seeing you that way. He needs to understand. If you are comfortable with it, tell him that you don't mind them coming in as soon as the baby is born and you are covered. It's okay that you feel that way.
Be strong..it's your body and you should have a say in who is in the room and who isn't.
You really don't want his whole family to see EVERYTHING.
If you tell the nurse this she will tell his family that it makes you feel uncomfortable as it's important that YOU feel comfortable.
I had my partner, my mum and sister in the room and that is all I needed thanks..didn't need an audience!
Your husband should respect this!
I believe that you both should make the decision. You both decided that your family would be in there. Let him know that you dont feel comfortable with them in there. Im sure that he'll understand. I think that when your giving birth you should be as comfortable as possible. Good Luck.
well, in fairness to you, it is your birth and you are the one who is going through everything, so it should be your call. but in his fairness, if you get to have people in the delivery room why shouldn't he, it's his child too. maybe it's time to rethink why you even want anyone there at all. the first few hours that you have with your child are precious. it's a time when just you and your husband can enjoy the child together without anyone else. those times are few and far between in the first year.
it is totally up to you and if he does not understand that then you have some talking to do, you need to be relaxed and comfortable while in labor
I didn't think more than 2 people were allowed in, personally and if you have to have a c-section(which I hope not)there's only 1 person allowed in. I am in Tennessee and my doctor told me only 3 people are allowed(including myself) I have my husband and my mom. So..I hope that helps. Good luck!
NO! You will be the one giving birth, the people you choose to have in the delivery room will be there to support you and make your laboring and giving birth less stressful FOR YOU! can you picture your mother in law placing cool cloths on your forehead whilst your pushing a baby out of your girl bits? I WOULD NOT ALLOW IT!
Tell him that its your body that will be exposed, it will be you who's going through the pain and doing all the hard work!
YOU have a right to take in with you whomever you choose, but I really don't think your partner should bring HIS family, its not a competition, its not about being fair, ITS ALL ABOUT YOU AND MAKING YOU FEEL AS COMFORTABLE AND AS STRESS FREE AS POSSIBLE!
(men like this make me mad.sorry)
Having a baby is no easy task and you need to be as relaxed and comfy as possible. Explain to your husband that while you respect your inlaws, you just aren't comfortable with the idea of them being in the delivery room. Talk to him and try to reach a compromise such as videotaping the birth, so that your inlaws can see the birth of the baby, but so that the difficult times and your private areas can stay private.
Since you are the one doing the pushing you should be the one to decide who will be in the room and who will not be in the room. The last thing you want is to have people there that make you uncomfortable while YOU are in labor. Tell hubby it isn't fair that you have to be the one delivering the baby either. Best of luck.
Absolutely NOT! Since you are the one giving birth, you get to chose who is in there, and who is not. Giving birth is a very personal experience, only to be shared with people you are extremely comfortable with. You are going to say and do things that you would not normally do, and if someone is in the room with you that you are not comfortable with, you are not going to be relaxed enough, and you may actually have difficulty with your delivery because of it! If it were me, I would say that they can come and visit, but as soon as you request it, they need to leave. You could even speak to the nurse ahead of time before they even get there. Believe me, they don't have any problem telling people to get out!
Don't let them in if you don't feel comfy with it. Ask him how he would feel about your family watching him get a vasectomy, or a circumcision. You have to draw a line somewhere, and this is the place. I'm the type of guy who does not believe in videotaping a birth and then showing it to everybody. I totally agree with Faith S. when she says the nurses will kick everybody out. That is a great way to have your privacy, and not be the bad guy. They do it all the time. BTW, congratulations on a new baby.
You are the one that needs to be comfortable when you are having your child. If your family would make you more comfortable, then have them in the delivery room.
you are the one giving birth, its up to the both of you but he needs to respect the fact that you may not feel comfortable with his family watching, its you body parts, and the baby will be coming out of you, not every woman feels ok with other people watching this, so if you say no to his family members being there then he should respect that, they can always wait in the waiting room untill after the baby is born, then come into to see you and the baby,, i dont blame you for feeling uncomfortable about his family being there during labour, i would feel the same way.. good luck
What is unfair is that he is not considering your feelings. Maybe he should ask himself the question, how would he feel if all your family watched him have a vasectomy? Additionally, too many people in the delivery room only get in the way of the Dr. and nurses trying to care for you and your baby. Hope all goes well for you and your newborn.
If you are not comfortable with it, than tell him no. It's your decision!
i would try to explain to him that you don't feel comfortable with them being in there... when i had my son they were only going to let two people in the room(my husband and my mom). but then it ended up i had to have a c-section so it was only me and my husband...i would try to just talk to him and explain it.
Tell him he can have his family in the delivery when he gives birth. Your family will wait in the waiting room.
You can, if you like, tell his mom and sister that there will be to many people in the delivery. If one of them can not make it, your husband can pick who's come in.
My father and his wife wanted to film my delivery, my sister kept him at her house.
Good luck
Congratulations
I personally think that although you are the one going through labor, you are both having the baby, so if you family can be in there, so should his be allowed. BUT often hospitals limit the number of people allowed, and if they do this, you should be allowed to pick who you want.
You are the one being exposed and you are the one giving birth. Surround yourself with positive people that make you feel good and safe.
Don't worry about other people's feelings just do what feels right to you.
Explain that to him. Tell him you dont know his family that well and you dont want them in there with you.
Its your body that is being exposed for everyone to see. Personally I wouldnt want anyone that I wasnt close to seeing my you know what and seeing me in distress like that. Just explain to him and even explain to his mother how you feel about it. Im sure they will understand, atleast his mother should.
Ummm... no...no...no!
I would not let anyone even on the hospital grounds while I was in labor.
You aren't there to entertain people, you are there to give birth. Tell him he can call them once the baby arrives. I think since it's your body that will be exposed and you doing all the work YOU get to decide!
This is not a good time to worry about what's fair! You can fight those battles when the baby is here.
If you can't be comfortable and focused in labor it's only going to make things worse.
If all else fails tell the hospital staff who can and can't be in the room. They will help keep your wishes in check!
Good luck! I would fight this battle if I were you!!!!!!!!!...
I had the same problem with the birth of my first child. Me and my husband were young parents (17 & 18) and were living at his parents house, so his mom thought she was entitled to be in the delivery room. I hated it and was very uncomfortable. When it came time to have my second baby she had no desire to be in there. She had adopted her 2 kids and my labor and delivery was the first she had ever experienced and to be honest I think all the screaming and crying from labor and trying to push a baby out with out an epidural freaked her out. Put your foot down. Its YOUR BODY. If you dont want them in ther then dont let them.
It is you who is going to be giving birth, sweating up a storm and what not, and you are the one who needs to feel comfortable with whose in the room. Tell your husband that when he's lying there, vulnarable, and having a baby, that he can have whoever he wants with him.
