My ex in the delivery room?
I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I don’t want the father of my baby in the delivery room. My bf and I officially ended our relationship when I was 34 weeks pregnant. It wasn’t a surprise due to the fact we hadn’t talked for about 4 months straight while he was away at college. He says he wants to be in the baby’s life, but doesn’t seem to care or ask about the baby at all. He had even asked me to get an abortion. I’ve pretty much gone through this entire pregnancy by myself.
So on to my predicament... the plan has always been for my mother and now ex boyfriend to be in the delivery room. I want to try for a natural birth (key word: *try*) but I won’t be comfortable if my ex is there. It’s gotten to the point where the sight of him makes me stressed and angry and I don’t want him around me when I’m in a vulnerable state (legs spread for everyone to see).
Would it be wrong to keep him out of the delivery room? I know him and his family would be upset and my parents would get mad at my decision, but the thought of him being there makes me want to cry. I’m afraid of being the “bad guy”.
