Her Husband Wants Their Moms To Be There In The Delivery Room When She Gives Birth, But She Really Wants It To Just Be The Two of Them So She Can Soak In The Moment
This woman is currently pregnant with her fourth child. She had her first three children with her previous partner, whom she was with for five years. One year after the breakup, she met her current husband.
“He has been a dynamite partner and stepdad. This is hands down the healthiest and most cherished I have ever felt in my life, and, six years in, I’m still gushing over him like a schoolgirl,” she said.
The relationship she had with her ex was unhealthy. She doesn’t blame her previous partner or herself for the toxicity, but she believes that they just weren’t a good fit from the start.
Unfortunately, she and her ex couldn’t communicate their perspectives constructively without having arguments.
Since their perspectives were always so vastly different from one another, they were never able to meet in the middle.
Sadly, neither of them could provide the type of support the other needed because they couldn’t put themselves in the other’s shoes.
“Therefore, when I had my other children, we had other people in the room. Him, my mom, his mom, his grandmother for one of them, my sister. I even had a slew of student residents in there as well because why not? And it really boiled down to the fact that I knew that this man was not going to give me that emotional support that I desperately needed during labor and delivery,” she explained.
Like always, she didn’t blame her ex for this because she still felt like both of them were not good communicators and weren’t a great match for one another.
During the deliveries of all of their children, her ex slept the entire time.

Now that she’s been with her husband, she has been able to experience what it’s like to have a healthy relationship with amazing communication. They love being around each other and lift each other up.
Her husband provides emotional support, and he’s a good man who she knows loves her.
“I mean, he won’t even sleep if he knows I’m just having some normal discomfort from pregnancy and will literally check on me millions of times to see if I need anything,” she shared.
“So, a huge part of me wants it to just be him and me in the delivery room. I want to be able to soak in this moment with him and see his facial expressions and feel the overwhelming love I know is bound to come, without the prying eyes and distractions of others.”
Even though she feels strongly about this, she hasn’t yet expressed this to her husband because he’s hoping for both of their mothers to be in the delivery room with them.
Both of their mothers are wonderful people, and they are incredibly supportive and loving. Plus, she would feel comfortable if they were in the delivery room with her and her husband, and she believes their presence could provide her with a sense of peace. However, she wonders if her thoughts on wanting just her husband to be in the room with her are reasonable.
