[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Definitely DH.  Period.  No discussion.[/b]  Mention it to your OB and your OB can reiterate it to your mother at the hospital if she is there while you're in surgery.  And PPs are correct, hospitals  allow only 1 support person in the room for a c-section because it is not a delivery room, it's a surgical suite.  The last thing the anesthesiologist or OB need to deal with is a diva third party.

Also, I totally agree with having her come a week or so after baby is born.  If DH is planning on taking time off, believe me, the last thing you want it her and him in the house at the same time.  I speak from experience.  My DH is rather tolerant and my mother is a big help in regards to meals/cleaning/etc but they did not mesh very well.  Also, you will likely be in the hospital for 3-4 days after baby is born which leaves DH and MIL together.  Alone.  Sounds that that won't be a good mix.  Now if your Mom is the type to pitch in, do laundry, prep meals and freeze them, etc, by all means, that is helpful.  If she just wants to sit around and hold her grandchild, no.  If you plan on bf'ing, I would definitely delay her arrival by at least a week if not more, just to give you time to get in the hang of things with nursing.  [/quote]

I agree. DH comes first. [/quote]
