I simply don't understand why people can't speak up for themselves. It's YOUR birthing experience. YOU have to concentrate, YOU need your husband to stay focused on you. YOU need to put your chin to your chest & give it all you got..... If you can do that, why the hell can't you tell people to get out of the room?

My mom ended up with her MIL in the room & my dad was ignoring her the whole time & chatting with his mom & asking what she thought they should name the baby (me).... Wtf is up with this I simply don't get it.

My mom really wanted to be in the room & I simply said "did I invite you to his conception?..... Okay then, you're not invited to his birth. It will be Sean and I ONLY".

To avoid any unwanted visitors, we won't even be telling anyone I'm in labor until he has already been born. We won't be accepting visitors for 6+ hours, or u til we feel ready. It is up to ME AND MY HUSBAND. This is the only chance we get to experience the birth of our baby. It will go down the way we want it to go down... Not the way our friends & family want it to happen when they bully their way into the room... Not happening. I see it on this app all the time, I just don't get what's so hard about putting your foot down & laying down the law about how YOUR birthing experience will go.
