I know my husband and mother- and sister-in-laws. They are all going to want to be in the delivery room and personally I don’t want the three of them there. They are originally from a different country and for our first child they all just sat there chit chatting in their own language not paying me any never mind. I realize it’s not about me; it’s about delivering a happy healthy baby but fucks sake. Not to mention I always feel like they are judging me when they are talking like that. They never include me in their conversations. After 5 years of marriage I don’t feel like family or friends. I feel like the know nothing American. Pisses me off.

I just want my mom and two sisters. First, Is that something I can put in the birth plan? Will the nurses even enforce it? They didn’t enforce the three person rule when my sister delivered her baby. I’m sensitive and hate hurting people’s feeling. Is there anyway I can send the birth plan to the hospital ahead of time so they don’t know what it says?
