[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm NOT a fan of my MIL at all, but I let her be there for the birth of our child for the same reasons. She is usually a loud busybody, but she behaved. She also stayed behind a partition in the room (per the doctor), so that helped.[b] Maybe talk with your doctor and see if she can TELL the moms to step around a partition, or into the hallway, once you start pushing and until the baby arrives. [/b]

FWIW, as much as I don't care for my MIL, I really couldn't have cared less that she was there. It was nice for everyone to be there in those first few minutes. [/quote]

I pushed for 3 hours with one of my babies.  I can not imagine knowing that grandma was in the hallway anxiously dying to get in while it was taking so long.  PASS.

OP, like others have said, this is something that's just NOT OKAY to ask.  It sucks she doesn't understand that, but if this damages your relationship that will be HER CHOICE, not yours.  As a medical professional, she should know better.[/quote]
