Okay, my due date is 5 weeks and 5 days away. My husband wants only us in the delivery room and I don't know how to tell or convince him my mom should be in there too. It's important to her and me. Help!

    Ask him why he feels that way. Only way to figure it out is to air it out.

    Your the one having the baby so you should choose who gets to be in there with you. If you want your mom in there then she should be in there.

    You might be able to have them both there. If not, explain to your husband that this is something that you need your moms support on and because she's been through this before, you feel it is vital to have her there to reassure you.

    When I was going to have my 1st, I gave my mother and his mother the option to be in the room with us, but I told him and the mothers that once the baby was out, I wanted only me and him for a couple hours after for bonding "family" time. Maybe you can give him that option. He probably just feels like maybe this is the only part he can have control over. Consider his reasons though. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

    Since your the one going through the labor he should definetly be supportive of whatever wil make you most comfortable. One of my friend s went through the same thing but once her boyfriend saw how much pain she was in and how bad she wanted her mother he brought her into the room.

    I only want it to be me and my bf in the room I am private and I think family would get on my nerves. This is a special moment I only want to share it with him (maybe his daughter she will be 14).

    See I was the opposite. His mom wanted to be there, but I just wanted us 2. I feel like we made this child, so we should experience bringing it into the world as a family. Then share the baby with everyone. It was relaxing. But, keep in mind, with my first we called my mom when I went into labor, and when I was about to push and she said (over the phone) well I'm going to bingo. Shes a horrible person, didnt come or call when my second was born, and were not even telling her when this one is born
