[quote=Anonymous]This thread has devolved a little bit into MIL bashing which is unfortunate. But I think what people are reacting to is the idea that during labor they should prioritize how MIL feels over the mother being comfortable. Until you've gone through birth - especially an unmedicated birth! - you won't really understand how ridiculous this is. I think you should say no for the sake of your relationship with your MIL. If you get gilted into letting her be in the labor and delivery room, it will be really difficult to let go of that resentment later on. Not only is labor difficult, but it's a very vulnerable time - having someone interfere with that because they want a certain kind of "grandmother experience" will taint your relationship with her forever. You say you don't know her very well, don't create a foundation of hurt feelings and anger. [/quote]
