husband only in delivery room for pushing?

Question

My mom will be in town visiting so she will
Probably be one to also take me to hospital but I only want my husband in the room during the delivery part. Did any of you do this? Did you have them in the room during labor and then when it's time to push they get sent out to the waiting room? I would hate to have her just out in the waiting room during the whole laboring!

Answer

Why do you want her to leave for the pushing bit? 
It would be a shame for her to miss baby's first moments that's the best bit

Answer

We made the baby alone we will bribg baby into this world alone.
My mom understands but his mom doesnt abd hates me still for not letting her when my third his first baby. This is our second.

Answer

You should do whatever YOU want to do! My mom may be in town for the birth (she doesn't live local and is flying in around his due date) and even though she is my mama and gave birth to me, I haven't decided if she will be in the room or not.

I'm a FTM and honestly will not make the decision until I am in the heat of the moment and pushing away. My husband can always run and grab her, or I can tell her to leave (lol!) depending on how I'm feeling.

Don't let it stress you out! Labor will be hard enough.

Answer

I've heard of people doing this before but I personally would feel bad letting her stay and then telling her to leave for the moment she probably really wants to see. If you don't want her seeing anything maybe ask her to just stand by your shoulder area or something. But do what makes you comfortable

Answer

No it's not wrong!! It will only be me and my husband in the room. Our parents can visit while in labor but when it gets closer everybody will be kicked out to the waiting room. This is my third so they should already know lol

Answer

I think it'll be ok. If that's what you are comfortable with then that's what you deserve to have. You've probably shared every single detail with her, this is one she can hear about too. This is your day, hun, just talk with her about it.

Answer

I want only my husband in the room during the pushing part. I have made it clear before through this journey that this is a very special time & I want everyone to wait in the waiting room because the room has a limit of 2/3 people unless a child that's related is involved then it's 2 plus mommy delivering. They have that courtesy! I am so thrilled because my daughter will come & see us but she can be in and out with her memaw til I deliver then they will come in 2 hours later unless I am ready for visitors. I will have kangaroo time & visiting time for others after my 2 hours. The first hour is family time for me, my husband & daughter then it's just husband and I for nursing unless daughter wants to stay or if she gets fussy. She's 2 & 1/2 years old. So she will run her own little moment of wanting out the room or to stay. She's miss independent but protective over her mommy. So I'm sure with 2 babies it's gonna be hard but we will manage. 😍😍😍😍😍😍 all in all my husband is all & im stoked about that

Answer

Feel bad?  No way. She is your mom she should understand that you want this moment with your husband.  That is one time I don't want to worry about everybody else.

Answer

That's what I'm doing. My family can be in the room until it's time to start pushing, then all except my husband will be kicked out.

Answer

My first delivery was just my husband and I, and that was with my dad working in the very same hospital! Luckily it was my mom's 7th grand baby, and believes it should just be the mom and dad too. I loved having it be a special moment between the two of us. Daddy really got a great private moment to take it all in and welcome his new son into the world. I wouldn't have had it any other way, and even with how great my mom is, having her there would have made him feel a little marginalized I think. That being said, having mom there is great too! I think it's a personal decision. Just because something is great for someone doesn't mean it's right for someone else :)
