My sister is pregnant with twins, we are very close sisters, since she found out she decided she would like to have me at her birth as well as obviously the father of the babbies. all of a sudden her partners mum (mother in law, who she is not at all close with) asked if she could be at the labour instead of me, my sister told her that her labour is a very personal thing and that she really wanted me there as we are very close. now all of a sudden her partner has decided if his mum cant be there then i cant be there and has caused a massive row even though it has been planned from day one! im obviously really upset by this and my sister has said that she really wants me at the birth still.

what are every ones opinions on this?
He Has said if im there then he doesnt want to be. isnt that the most ridiculous thing u have ever heard!?
 
who the hell would want their mother in law their unless u are ex close which many of us arent eh!!! its a special event in ur life and ur partner should except this hes not the one popping it out is he how selfish!!
 
Oh my God! How selfish of her boyfriend and his mum. Giving birth is a very personal and painful thing and I would not want my Mother in law in with me, how embarrassing. She has a cheek just asking. If I was your sister I would remind my partner that I am the one giving birth and going through all that pain and I will pick who I have with me and if he don't like it then he can stay at home with mummy while I'm in labour. His mum should understand she wouldn't want her there instead of you. Im 36 weeks now and really starting to get my labour planned. My boyfriend is going to be there and maybe my big sister. His mum and his family are not involved in anyway and if he didn't like it he don't have to come himself. He aint even aloud to invite them up the hospital until I say so. The way it should be. Your sis has carried that baby for 9 months and given up every thing for it why should she give up her right of the labour she chooses?!
