re: Mother-in-law in delivery room

Regular birth? Not too weird. C-Section? Yes, weird.

It is weird but I know several mothers who had their moms in there for the first kid and not for the others. Women, man.

He should definitely be at the hospital but there's nothing wrong with the father sitting it out in the waiting room.

Give your wife what she wants.
Why would a wife want anyone but her husband in the delivery room to begin with? Two people conceived that child, two people will raise it. Seems like the wife has attachment issues.

This is bullshite. I didn't know what to do either but everything went fine. You figure it out.

I don’t think it will go over too well if you tell her no.

You shared a room with another family?

Tell your wife no plain and simple...

Late to this party but frick that, especially if it's your first.
The moment your child is born is the moment your family expands, and I wanted that moment to only be between my wife , my child, and I (medical staff not counting of course). If you feel strongly about it, your wife should consider your opinion over her mother's. My MIL wanted to be in there, and my wife let me decide. She sat in the waiting room like everyone else

Pretty sure the doctors and nurses can handle telling OP what to do.

Mother-in-law in delivery room
Posted on 2/26/18 at 8:02 am to LNCHBOX
All the man has to do is stay out of the danger zone, hold her hand or shoulder or something, and tell her that she's doing awesome even though he has no idea how she's actually doing.

Pretty sure the last 2 posts are the only time I’ve ever upvoted you.
This times 10,000. My MIL is pushy as shite and wanted to be in there too but frick that. She tried harder for our second but my wife told her to leave again thankfully.

I guess I just didn't care enough either way. I have a great mother in law though
Posted on 2/26/18 at 8:06 am to LNCHBOX
Agreed, but it sounds like his wife wants her mom in there.
My mil was pissed that she wasnt invited in the room. She came in to see my wife for a few minutes during labor and sat on her phone on Facebook the whole time. She knew ahead of time that she had to leave for pushing though.
OP: if you don't want your mil in the room, you need to talk to your wife bout it, but know if your wife wants her mom in there, he will be in there.
Sorry for the marital issues.

I have a great MIL too. That's not a moment she needs to be a part of IMO.
If you don't care, no reason to make a big deal of course. Just comes down to how strongly OP feels about it.

He can have input, but the tiebreaker goes to the one under going genital mutilation.
That's my Outlook on life in general.

Cause it is the woman that is in labor and having the baby. She is the patient, not the man. If having her mother there would make her more calm then the husband should respect his wife's wishes.

Again....the woman in labor IS the patient. She gets the ultimate say. In the delivery room...if the woman is telling staff to let her mother stay and the father of baby is telling staff the MIL has to leave...they are ultimately gonna respect the woman in labor's wishes and let the MIL stay...because the woman in labor is their patient.

A natural process isn't mutilation.
My outlook, as well as my wife's, is that our marriage comes before anything (until our daughter was born anyway).

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting the thread, but I don't think we're discussing that kind of scenario. The decision should be made before labor starts.

The whole topic is
So the wife wants her mother there. She has that right. You as her husband need to respect her wishes. This isn't about your marriage coming first...this is about what she needs the day she is having your child.
