I had the exact same thing... my BF said she would be there in the waiting room... I told her staright out that we weren't telling anyone until after bubs was born. I think she was a little offended, but was over it pretty quick.

I was induced, and ended up telling just a couple of friends, as they would worry if they couldn't get onto us. But we didn't tell our parents... although my mum worked it out as we weren't around and she had tried to call...

We told people within the hour of DD being born, we rang our parents, and sms'd all our friends, My mum came straight up, but only stayed for 5 min, and everyone else came up the following day. It was late DD was born at 8.40 so by the time people got the msg, it was too late to visit.

I totally agree on having your time together as a family. I personally wouldn't have anyone esle but DH there, but thats a personal choice. It was the best time staright after the birth for us to be a family.

This time will be the same, only mum and dad will know though as they will be with DD, but they will be at the hosp straight away after, if DD is awake.
