Now, my mother and I are very close. She had made a comment about being at the hospital and waiting while I'm in labor and how she doesn't care how long it takes. I feel badly because the waiting room is so uncomfortable looking and she could be waiting awhile. After the birth we plan to do skin to skin and I want to try to establish breastfeeding. I don't want people coming in while we're trying to bond and get cleaned up. I know all this adds to the wait. 

However, I mentioned to my hubby that I might need my mom (someone who's been through labor) while I'm in labor or to be with me if he needs a break or to get food etc. He's such a great hubby and insists he's not leaving me and then said that I'm 27 and don't need my mother. 

I know my mother's feelings are going to be hurt and she's going to think its all my hubby's ideas to keep everyone out. But I agree with him that I want this to be the two of us and want to bond with our baby girl and get cleaned up before the grandparents are introduced to their grandchild. I don't want him to get upset with me either if I say I need my mom while laboring (before pushing). 

I'm just conflicted and don't know what to do. Any advice is greatly welcomed. Thanks!
