31-year-old pregnant woman refuses to allow mother-in-law in the delivery room during birth, feels reluctant to tell husband that she prefers her in the waiting room: 'We've just never been close, I'm surprised my husband wants her there too'

No matter how many What to Expect When You're Expecting books are out there, there's no single "correct" way to go through pregnancy. Everyone's experience is different. As a pregnant woman, you have very little control over what's happening inside your body, so naturally, you focus on what you can control externally, to make the journey as peaceful and comfortable as possible.

So many questions pop up throughout pregnancy, such as: What are the best vitamins to take? How do I tell my husband there's no way we're naming our daughter Tony Jr.? Who should be in the delivery room with us when the baby arrives?

Now, that last one always seems a little tricky… Ideally, we want our partners there. And if we're lucky enough to have our mothers present, that can be amazing too. However, for some women, the idea of having their mother-in-law in the delivery room doesn't always feel necessary, or in many cases, comfortable.

So, how does one go about telling their husband or partner that their mother's presence might only add stress to the delivery and that there's a perfectly good seat reserved for her in the waiting room?
