first of all, i dont see why they cant wait in the family waiting area while you are having the baby but you should not let anyone in the room with you except your boyfriend! thats crazy for her to be in there! after your baby gets here you'll want to be protective and make all the decisions for it with your boyfriend, but they will think they know better and try to take over every chance they get. you;ll get in several fights with your b/f about this. trust me. after the 1st year or year and a half though if all of y'all are still speaking, it will get better. if you put your foot down about things that are important to you and be a good momma, they will back off and you will all learn your places and get along

You need to talk to your boyfriend and tell him you need a little space. That being said, you need to be a little more tolerant. I think it is pretty unfair that you do not even want his family to leave their home until after the baby is born. Sure, you can request some privacy in your room, but it is your boyfriends mom and your babies only grandma. She is excited for her new grandchild, don't take away all her joy. I am also pregnant and if my boyfriends family wanted to be at the hospital to support my BOYFRIEND, I would expect it, just as I expect my family there to support ME.

Calmly explain to your mom-in-law that you are not comfortable having visitors in the delivery room, but you would be more than happy to have them wait outside the room and she can hold the baby after the birth is over.

I know when you are pregnant, all the attention is on you, but it is not all about you. Your boyfriend is becoming a father and he should have his family there to support him.
