My husband and I live out of the country and it just so happened that ALL four of our parents were in town visiting us at my gender ultrasound appointment. I feel Ya -- it'd more comfortable and special if it were just my mom and husband. But I cannot tell you how special it was to have ALL of our baby boys grandparents in the room that day. Not only did my MIL and FIL love seeing him, but it was a first step in what I know will be a journey in "sharing" this baby with everyone else who loves him... Not just my parents. Of course, you may have other reasons :) but in my experience - I don't regret having them all there whatsoever. We are now alone(& they also won't meet baby till he's a couple months old), but we all share that special memory :)

Just want some opinions. My and husbands familes are visiting us for the week from out of state. This will be their only visit with us until after baby's born. We have an ultrasound scheduled for in the morning which id love for my mom to go with us since this would be her only chance to do so. She doesn't want to go if my MIL doesn't go, as she doesn't want her feeling left out... It's my husband and my decision and I'm torn. I'd prefer it just be me, him, and my mom, but doesn't look like that's going to work. Should I just invite my mom AND MIL? I really would love my mom to be able to go, so feel like I should just suck it up. Argh. What would u do?

That sounds like it was really special for everyone, I'm so glad you got the opportunity!! I am leaning towards this too now..

I totally agree- have both there. I couldn't believe how important it was to my mother in law, and it was kind of special for the grandmas to both see.

Of course having 6 people in the room isn't always possible ;)
Why don't you want your MIL there? I'm not judging and am just asking Is your husband okay with his mom not being there and your mom being present?

I not only dislike but hate my MIL but that's a long story as well. If you have a decent relationship with her and she is in your life then I would have both moms there. MIL may become upset with you and your mom and cause issues. Just tell her your birth plan so she's not offering unwanted advice?

Totally legit question, and it's a really long story lol. Mil is totally opposite from my family and I.. I don't agree with a lot of the things she says and does. My husband is comfortable with whatever I want. He's not a big fan of hers either!
