[quote=Anonymous]You say you have a good relationship with your MIL. Well, getting pressured to let her be in the delivery room when it makes you uncomfortable and stressed is a great way to ruin that relationship.

If you're worried about pushing too hard because you might poop and you don't want her to see... If she's chatting with DH while you're having a contraction and need support... All of these and many more scenarios are reasons that will build up enormous resentment after the birth of your child. You're going to be super emotional and this type of resentment will destroy your relationship with your MIL.

It's going to be very difficult to spend time with MIL in the weeks after the baby is born because you're going to remember the invasion of privacy and carelessness towards you during a very vulnerable time. After the baby is born your MIL will forget all about the delivery and all she'll care is spending time with the baby.

For the sake of your future relationship with your MIL do not get bullied into this. [/quote]
