    my mum came to all 3 of my 18 week scans with all 3 pregnancies. I liked sharing it with her and DH.
    Its a personal choice and if u decide not to let her just tell her ur only allowed ur partner in with u and u can show her the dvd

    I've invited both the Mums to the 20 week scan (in 2 weeks time). I would love for the Dad's to be there too... but I think have 5 guests in the room is pushing it a bit.

    My SIL invited my mum to her 20 week scan and mum was amazed at how the technology had improved. Hence why I want the mums to come to mine.

    DH couldn't make Liebling's 19 week scan, so I invited MiL. Bless her, she thought she wouldn't be allowed into the scan room but came anyway. She'd never seen (or had) an ultrasound before. (BTW, I still haven't told my own mother about this.) I mostly invited her because sitting around waiting a couple of hours for a 5 minute scan is my idea of boredom and I wanted someone to chat with.

    DH got the 8w, 12w, 21w and ~30w scans though, so all was good there.
