[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP! I recommend you read Ina May Yasmin's book about natural childbirth, so you can get some more positive nature birth stories and ideas that will help you during labor and birth, especially since you keep hearing your friends' negative experiences. One of the points she makes, is that it is absolutely important for the mother to feel as safe and as comfortable as possible to do things like make sounds, move around, etc. It doesn't sound like you would be that relaxed knowing that MIL is in the next room. Your mother's doula experience puts her in a different role altogether. If you want her there, that is absolutely your choice, and you don't need to apologize for it. Do tell her that you might want her to leave, and that she should not feel hurt if you do. (Hopefully she'll be a great help to you and you won't want her to leave). Have a great birthing experience with a healthy baby and mama![/quote]
