Who are you having in the delivery room?

[Meluchja]

I gave birth to my daughter in May 2006. It was just my DH and I in the delivery room along with the usual medical staff, and I loved it. But you wouldn't believe the grief it caused me making the decision to only have DH in there with me. My oldest sister chucked the biggest wobbly, saying she wanted to come in and that my DH would need someone. When I told her my wishes, she got all stroddy and her and her DH seemed to get offended and started saying stuff like "well we are obviously not welcome, so we won't go at all". She must have forgotten that she didn't want either me or my other sister in with her when she had her 2 kids(eww if she wanted me in there). I think my mum was a little dissapointed that I didn't want her in, but I think she at least respected my decision, as did my other sister.

DH and I had decided that we would call my parents and his mum when we went into labour, and that we would keep them updated and let them know when I have given birth.

But the all couldn't wait and were in the waiting room during my daughters birth, and straight after, about 5 minutes after giving birth they were all and I mean all, 2 kids as well, in with me in the delivery suite, and they didn't leave until the doctor came in to stitch me up. I later thought, that even that was a little too much.
It's not a personal thing at all with any of them, I just don't want anyone other than DH seeing me in this way, I just think it is eeky and a little suffercating!!

This time around we are definately not having anyone allowed into the delivery suite, other than my mum and dad after the birth, even this isn't certain, I think the rest can wait until I reached the ward this time. I just want it to be me and DH throught out the whole birth until we get to the ward and settle in. I don't want anyone getting upset with me this time, and I don't want them to feel hurt but I also don't want to be made to feel guilty again about the decision that DH and I have made.

Sorry about the vent as my sister has already started on me about the birth to come, and I just needed to get my feelings off my chest, sorry about the long post too.

Do any of you think I'm selfish or unreasonable about this?
