I am only due in August but my SIL gave birth yesterday and both sets of parents were at the hospital all through the labour and saw the baby immediately after the birth (like within minutes)
I was speaking to my husband about this last night as I feel like I only want him to be there and have time for skin to skin with baby and freshen myself up before I would want anyone else there. He seemed to think they would be upset by this but I don't think its unreasonable. Its not like i'm saying my parents can be there but his can't or that they can't meet baby for a week. I just want a couple of hours to myself and my husband.
What are your plans and do you think not having parents at the hospital for the birth is unreasonable?
