[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this trend of grandmas in the delivery room needs to die out. Not just no mils no mommy mamas either. Time to grow up millennials and gen xers[/quote]
THis is a weird response.  I did not want my mom or MIL in the delivery room with me, but I did want/need my mom who is a neonatologist to be available by phone in case I needed to talk to her.  My mom's a little hyper and hard to deal with in person during really stressful situations (like L&D), but for both my births she came to visit by the time I was went home from the hospital...and in both cases she was a godsend because she was literally the only person in the world more concerned with my well-being than the baby's.

For my second delivery, things started to go wrong, and she was the only person I wanted to talk to and I could trust to reassure me about what was happening.  Because she's not the type of person who could have stopped being a doctor while in the room, it was best to get that support from her by phone.  But if she were a different personality, she would have been great to have in the delivery room with me as well.[/quote]
