hello, im jumping over from trying to concieve forum but i just had to say i had the opposite! I wanted my mother there and she turned me down.She said she didnt want to see her daughter in pain! I only had my hubby in there at the end.Thankgoodness as i personally didnt have a very nice labour.I wouldnt have wanted them to see me at my worst.Whilst i was in theatre and just been stiched my mum and dad came and gave us a kiss.They then went with hubby and had there own private bonding session for an hour whilst the stupid hospital was trying to make me better.Most of the day they stayed at home which was good as it would have been in the back of my mind that everyone was waiting for me to pop it out!
