Telling family you want to labor alone,

How did you tell your family you didn’t want them at the hospital while you were laboring?

This is my second child, I just see no point for everyone to come up there and sit in a waiting room for hours. With my first everyone kept bothering me while I was trying to relax and get through the pain. They left right after I gave birth, so it wasn’t that bad, I just would much rather just have my spouse and me at the hospital while I am laboring.

Maybe it’s awful that I want it to just be me and my spouse while I am in the process of giving birth, but it’s my decision.

They are welcome to come the next day after we have gotten settled in and we have had time to bond with our daughter.

I don’t want to hurt there feelings or make them feel unwelcome that’s not at all my intentions I just feel like this should be private.
