Partner wants MIL (& my mum) to come to our first scan...

Hey all,

So yesterday my partner said "I said mum could come to the scan." and my immediate reaction was to say "no she isn't!". This turned into question time as to why I would say the mums can't come... I just wanted it to be OUR moment you know? It's an early scan I've booked 8+6 and they could come as we can have up to 5 other people. I definitely wouldn't have anyone but my partner at the NHS scans so it does make sense to let them come to the early private one I have booked...

Now I've thought about it a bit, I don't mind them coming to it but I am a bit meh about the whole sharing EVERYTHING with the mums thing - I mean I love them both to bits obviously but they are going to be (and already are) overwhelming throughout so I want SOME memories to be just ours, does that make sense? Is this my hormones making me a cow? LOL!

Then again it's the first grandchild both sides so why not let them at the scan, it's their first and maybe only chance!!!

Anyone else had a similar thing/feelings.......?

Thanks!

My 8w was vaginal and I was 8weeks so I wouldn't have anyone else there. ..

Hey all, so we went for our scan yesterday morning and they measured me in at 9 weeks which is just one day further along than we calculated.
Everything is fine, heart beat going strong!
Just me and the other half which was lovely, then pictures for the mums :-)
