A Pregnant Woman Refused to Let Her Mother-in-Law in the Delivery Room. Was She Being Unreasonable?

I find it to be so strange when I hear about people who want to be in the delivery room who aren’t either the mother or the father of the new baby.

Like…why would you want to be in there?

And why would anyone let you in?!?!

But, here we are, friends…

A woman shared her story on Reddit and asked if she was wrong for the way she reacted. Let’s see what happened.

AITA for telling my husband that if MIL is in the delivery room that he can’t go?

“Okay, so this is an issue that I can’t deal with

I(28)am six months pregnant. Me and my husband have been discussing who can be in the delivery room.

I told him my mother was going to go obviously and he said he would want his mother to be there. I would be fine that but the hospital will only let 2 people in.

I told him if she went he won’t be able to go. He said he was expecting me to get rid of my mother and and let him go but I told him that wasn’t happening.

We’re now in an argument and he said he going to go to his friends house. It’s been 2 days and he still hasn’t returned. He isn’t answering my calls either. Now I don’t know where he is.

AITA.”

Hmmmm…now let’s take a look at how Reddit users reacted to this story.

This person said that the woman who wrote the post was not to blame for anything.

AT ALL!

Another reader said that they can’t believe why this woman would stay with a man who treated her this way.

This individual argued that women (and probably some men) should have a plan to get away from someone if they ever need to and they need to keep an eye on all the red flags that might pop up.

This Reddit user said that who will be in the delivery room when the time comes is completely and totally UP TO HER and no one else.

Some Hospitals Are Using Clear Drapes for C-Sections Instead of Opaque Ones

C-sections are grueling, and they can be really tough on new moms. One especially disappointing part is that, typically, moms are not able to see their new baby right away. Because there’s a drape obscuring their view of the surgery itself, they can only hear their babies, not see them.

That’s why some hospitals are beginning to use clear drapes.

It may sound scary to have a clear drape instead of an opaque one. Nobody wants to see themselves being operated upon!

But these drapes are actually only partially clear. The lowest part is still opaque, so it completely blocks the mom’s view of the operation. The upper part is clear, so she can see when doctors pull the baby out of her womb.

Clear drapes are amazing. <3 I love that they are more accepted for cesarean births now! Watching my client see her…

Tracy Abney, a doula, mom and birth photographer, is a huge advocate of clear drapes. She had a typical C-section with a solid drape and told Parents that she felt “disconnected.”

“Everyone saw my daughter before I did. I could hear her, but not see her,” Tracy said. “I didn’t see her until she was cleaned up and wrapped in a blanket, then she was taken away and I didn’t see her for a long time.”

“Clear drapes help the mother feel like she is part of the birthing process,” she added. “She can see the baby when everyone else does, the moment the baby is born.”

That clear drape, though. <3

Clear drapes are one aspect of the new “gentle C-section” trend, which aims to make C-sections more like the traditional birthing experience. Doctors pull the baby out slowly and immediately bring the baby to the mom for skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding, if it is medically safe to do so.

Anything that helps is well worth the adjustment!
