MIL wants to be at the birth

[Rosebel]

I'm 12 weeks pregnant so have made no real plan for giving birth although midwife has suggested a csection which I'm fine with.
Today MIL asked if she could be at the birth and I said I was having a c section so only husband would be with me. So she then asked if she could wait outside.
It's beyond weird. She wasn't at my other children's birth but she was at my SILs but I want it to be just me and my husband and then my children. I don't even want my own mum there and I'm very close to her. I'd rather have people visit when we're back home. My husband sees no reason why she can't be there and says the children won't care about not seeing the baby first but I disagree.
I'm not sure where to go from here as now I feel like I'm being unfair and should just give in but then surely my feelings should matter?! Advice please on if I'm being unfair and if I'm not what to say to !my husband?

On a more cheery note, if your dh can't see the problem tell him to take his dm to his prostate exam .

That's not tge same thing, he needs to take HER mum to his vasectomy.

chocolate26 dont tell them you're in labour, let them know once the baby has arrived and you've recovered a bit.

@Besidesthepoint i guess they can both come.

Major abdominal surgery is not a spectator sport. She's a loon.

I want waist-length, corn blonde wavy hair and the rockin' body I had when I was 22. Like your MIL, I'm going to have to settle for something quite different.

Omg!! These bloody MIL’s they make my blood boil. Tell her no and if she doesn’t like that’s her problem. If your husband doesn’t stick up for you and your wishes then he’s a coward xxx
