My mum came to all of DD's scans (we had four) and the first of DS's. I'm not too sure why she came to DD's - if she invited herself or if we asked her, but we wanted her there and she wanted to be there. It was wonderful that she was, as we found out things looked really bad and I needed my mum.
DH was great of course but he was just as shocked and devastated as I was so he was a little bit lost to me, ITMS. Mum held my hand, let me cry, stroked my head, made soothing noises and gave me tissues. General mum behaviour.
She then came to the rest to make sure things were ok. She came to the first of DS's scans but everything was fine and she didn't come to the second one. I think she looked after DD :)
Good luck hun. You do whatever you feel is right for you, DF and junior.
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.
