[quote=Anonymous][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,[b] this is something that's just NOT OKAY to ask[/b].  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]

Aren't they all grown-ups?  MIL can ask, OP can say No.  Or OP can say Yes.  It doesn't have to damage their relationship for MIL to ask a question.  [/quote]
