how do i to tell my mom i don’t want her in the delivery room
I am 23 expecting my first baby in september, my boyfriend and I are very excited to have our first baby but my mom is also extremely excited to have her first grandchild. She can be a lot, I love her but sometimes the things she does and says rub me the wrong way. For example I had my anatomy scan the other day & baby boy did not wanna move so we couldn’t get all the pictures we needed. I told her about this and she said “that’s cause he doesn’t wanna be with you he wants to be here with me.” I don’t really care if she meant this as a funny thing. I felt it was disrespectful to me. This is just one of many things I don’t wanna make this post too long. Anyways, before I got pregnant I always thought I’d want my partner and my mom in the delivery room with me, but seeing how overbearing she’s been and entitled to her involvement in every aspect of my pregnancy, I don’t really want her in there with me anymore. I just want it to my boyfriend and I, I feel like it’s such an intimate moment and I want him to be the one that gets to experience it without someone hovering wanting to hold our baby ad soon as he’s born & snapping pics and what not. The problem I have is I’ve been telling her she could be in there with me for a while, but my feelings about it have changed and I just know she’s gonna make a it a huge problem. What would be the best way to say it & how can I not let it bug me if she reacts poorly. Help
