We are currently staying at ILs while we get our new house sorted (should be moving out tomorrow) They have been lovely, if a little OTT. Anyway, today I had a home visit from the midwife (I'm 21 weeks pg). All through the appointment FIL sat in the same room, interrupting me and the midwife talking by making DD tell the midwife things (eg "tell the nice lady your name" when we had established who was who and the midwife had said hi to DD and was in the middle of what looked like a complex bit of paperwork) and volunteering irrelavant bits of information.
Even when the midwife got onto questions about my mental health (which I have had problems with in the past so it was quite likely I would have appreciated some privacy) and the details of the birth, he just sat there, not even pretending to read the paper or anything. AIBU to think he should have at least offered to leave the room, or found something urgent to do with his car or something? I kept trying to catch DPs eye to get him to hint to his dad, and I did say "shall we go into the bedroom or something?" but everyone just ignored me. I felt like some kind of medical exhibit!

AIBU?
For thinking FIL should have gone into the other room?
