[quote=Anonymous]Just tell her that you and your husband have decided that you want the birth of your child to be an event that the two of you, and the two of you only, share. Don't elaborate & just be firm. If you think she's the type to flout your preference, don't tell her when you're in labor. Does she live nearby? My mom wanted to be in the room too, and I might have let her if she was local, but she lives 4+ hours away and I didn't want her lingering waiting for labor or driving like a maniac to try and get here in time. If your mom isn't local, that's an easy excuse. But still, tell her you want it to just be you guys. This will probably be just the first of many times you have to stand up for your own choices on behalf of your little family - it gets easier the more you do it. It's part of becoming a parent. Congrats! [/quote]
