But I'm really thinking of telling people that I don't want anyone at the hospital when I'm delivering. Or for at least a day afterwards. I know there are people who want to be there, but I feel like this should be mine and my husband's time. This is our baby. We made the baby together. I understand we have the baby's entire life to spend with him, but I want to experience the first hours of his birth with just us. It might be selfish, but this is my baby. I don't want to go through labor and then him be passed around because people are too impatient to hold him. I feel like my husband's mom especially will tell us we're being selfish, but would it really be selfish of us to want this?
