A new mum is still recovering from the traumatic delivery of her first baby, caused by her mother-in-law trying to barge her way into the birth.
The 29-year-old new mum says she’s still in shock after giving birth without her husband, J, by her side, after she kicked him out of the delivery suite for siding with his mother.
She explained that the situation had been brewing for the past few weeks, and came to a head when she went into labour.
“A few weeks ago i was invited to dinner at my mother-in-law’s home,” she explained on reddit. “She told me she had something important to discuss and I knew exactly what was coming.
“When I sat down she held my hand and said,’Me and J have talked and we think it would be best if I replaced your mother in the delivered room’. I said I’m sorry but my mother has already been invited and I’m not comfortable not having her there.
“She started squeezing my hand tighter saying that it’s not just up to me. Side note my MIL has never been the nicest to me. She would always make snide remarks about my weight and skin colour. I said no again and said it is my choice as I am giving birth.
“The subject was then dropped but when we got home my husband blew up at me saying he has just as much a decision as me in this. I disagreed, it will be me giving birth and I need my mother there. He said fine and we both forgot about it.
“Yesterday I went into labour. First I called my husband as he was staying at his mother’s at the time. Then after about an hour I called my mother. She was shocked to hear from me and told me my husband said I didn’t want her there.
“I told her I do want her there and she came straight away. My husband got to the hospital about 20 minutes after my mother and when he got there he had brought my MIL. I completely lost it. I started yelling at him and scolding him for telling my mother not to come then he started shouting at me for not letting him bring his mother.
“After he has shouted at me for about 5 more minutes I told him to leave. I said I didn’t want to see him or his mother ever again. I’m still not sure if I meant what I said or not. Because of the stress put on my body the birth became more dangerous but my mother as here for me the whole way.”
The woman now wants to know whether she was the one in the wrong in the situation.
