Question

I am 30 weeks and 3 days pregnant and told my partner I do not want any family at the hospital while I give birth or after I give birth . Knowing how his mom is she would be over every single day and she already claims our son as hers. He is making it seem like I am selfish for not wanting family at my sons birth and or after my birth . What are yall opinions?

Answer

Your birth. Your choice. Not his. He has no opinion

Answer

It’s not up to him. His body doesn’t need to recover so he doesn’t get a choice.

Answer

I agree with your rule. With my first I ended up feeling so overwhelmed with people there, esp my mil bc she stayed too long. The only thing good about having my second at the beginning of Covid was the fact only my husband was allowed in with me bc when I told him I didn’t want visitors, he laughed in my face. Stay strong in your stance. You’re the one giving birth, not him.

Answer

Your birth your choice.

Answer

I refuse to have my room full of family while in labor and giving birth
It was just my husband and I when I had my daughter and I’m getting induced in 6 days and it’s gonna be just me and him again.

Answer

the only thing i discuss with the partner is stuff to do with the baby. your the patient bot him and U need to be as comfy as u can

Answer

I had family at my first birth but my second I had no one visit at the hospital at all because I wanted our daughter to meet her brother before anyone else did and they weren’t allowing children at the hospital at that time. I’m doing the same thing with this third birth, no visitors at the hospital until my first two kids get to meet their sister. Some family from my husbands side really wanted to come last time but I just stuck to my plans and said no not until we’re home.

Answer

We didn’t allow hospital visitors and it was amazing and peaceful. There’s no reason to have people there imo. You’re the one giving birth, it’s your decision and not selfish.

Answer

I didn’t have anyone at my sons birth other than my mom and husband, which were the rules because of covid, but I wouldn’t have had anyone else there anyways, i was tired, hurting and caring for a whole other human, not to mention baby was tired and getting used to a whole new world, there’s nothing wrong with not having family there. his WHOLE family was so mad they couldn’t be there, they even said they would wait outside or down the hall so they could “sneak in” they didn’t after I told them no, luckily for me I could blame the rules of hospital on them not able to come lol
I don’t blame you for not waiting a ton of people around afterwards either, you’re learning so much the first few days and it’s overwhelming, plus with all the sicknesses going around, I wouldn’t risk my newborn getting sick either!
