Is it normal that my mother-in-law invited herself to my delivery?

  • Well I could see why the grandparents would want to be their. Since yes its your child but its their grandchild and she might feel like if she is not their she is not really part of the child's life.

    However giving birth is very personal and I have known some women that say they do not want anyone at all in the room. Yes a women pushing something out of her womb might be embarrassing and even more so having several people around that do not necessarily need to be their.

    Its your right to give birth in privacy. Explain not allowing her to witness the birth does not mean you are going to cut her out of her sons and the child life. However since you are giving birth you have a right to some privacy during the process.

    If not I would say see if you could get a restraining order. At least one for the time being. Since if she crosses it while your giving birth she will be arrested. I would say maybe notify the hospital and tell them you only want your husband, the doctors and yourself in the room during the giving birth process.
