I don’t want my mum at the birth

[Rosehip345]

So my mum has let slip that she will obviously be at the birth whilst my dad has my other kids if DH isn’t back.
It is highly likely due to DHs work that he won’t get home in time for the birth. Having him there is my no1, but if he’s not I absolutely do not want my mum there. I would rather be on my own.
How do I go about telling her this without hurting her feelings (or her getting in a strop and refusing to look after my other kids)??

Tbh it’s more that I need to find childcare and a hospital lift so that I could go through the whole thing without letting them know.
I’m really not bothered about having anyone there. I’d like DH to be because it’s his baby and it’s nice for him.
