Visiting baby after she's born.

Cheyenne
My fiance and I decided to just have me and him in the room when I'm in labor and to have my parents and his parents come in and them be the first ones to see her besides us. Well we've hit a bump in the road. His parents gave me a place to live and they feed me and by the baby most of what I have for her so I feel like they should be before my parents. But my mom has also bought some clothes for the baby but very little. Its honestly as much as she can do bc she doesn't have tons of money. Well we want to have them come in separately to avoid drama. But then I don't want my mom to feel like they're better than her. What do I do?

It really shouldn't matter. Seems petty. Whoever is there first let them see the baby. Or let the two moms then the two dads in.

If anything I would have both grandma's come in fist and then the grandpa's so the ladies can go first!! And there will be no drama with the new grandma

Do they not like each other?  Why would then being in at the same time cause drama?  I think no matter what you do there may be some kind of drama

You are the mother. You decide who holds her and the time limit

Honestly, I'd let the parents sort it out amongst themselves who goes in first. That's an added stressor you don't need. They're adults and can figure it out.

It's your baby and that's your mom, I'd let her in.

It shouldn't really matter, and in the long run, who cares who sees the baby first, there will be plenty of time for everyone. When you're ready for visitors, call each set of grandparents and tell them when they can come. Have whoever you want come first. It's not a popularity contest!
