[quote=Anonymous]I had a baby a few weeks ago. MIL watched DC when we went to the hospital. Once baby was born (about 2 hours after we left her with DC), she asked DH if she could bring DC to hospital to meet the new baby. When they showed up (about 3 hours after giving birth), she had brought her boyfriend, in addition to DC. It was awkward bc I was still in the delivery room, half naked in the gown, still bleeding, etc.  They all took a ton of pictures. I felt really awkward about the whole thing. The labor was generally smooth but I was still processin everything that had happened. 
While MIL has only been dating him for about 6 months, it is a serious relationship and he helps MIL babysit DC often, which I have no issue with. I'm just not sure i appreciated having a man who is essentially a stranger to me (I've only let him 2-3 times) seeing me 3 hours post partum!!  
MIL usually has good judgment about appropriateness and boundaries but here I think she crossed the line. I don't plan to say anything (what's the point now?) but wanted to get feedback on whether my feelings were valid.

SIL later came with her BF in the same time frame. Again, I was like, is this really necessary? She doesn't have kids so may not understand that most women do not want near-strangers seeing them 2-3 hours after giving birth!![/quote]
