I want to be alone in the delivery room?

Question

Am I wrong for this? I don't even think I am going to tell anyone I went into labor until after the baby is born. The father is a pothead loser who will be two states away, my mom is not speaking to me because I got pregnant and she lives accross the country anyway. My dad is great but I don't want him there waiting for me- for some reason the idea of having people in the waiting room just sitting there waiting on me to push the kid out annoys the heck out of me. I am moving home to live closer to my dad so none of my friends will be near.

I have always done most things alone and I'm not sure if it would bother me at all to do this, too. I think the nurses and doctor will be enough.

Answer 1

Such is your perogative, honey. Stick to it. If you think you want to be alone, I'd say go for it.

Best of luck to you. :)

Answer 2

i think that if you want to be alone you should and your not wrong for it but i think you should consider telling your dad when it does happen so that if you do feel in the last minute that you want someone with you he can be there for you but also explain to him how you do want to do it alone

Answer 3

You are not wrong for wanting what you want. It is your choice. I would suggest you have a couple numbers of some people with you, in case you change your mind while you are there. Better to have them, even though you seem sure now that you don't want anyone there.

Answer 4

no your not wrong

people sometimes rather be alone because they feel more comfortable and it takes pressure off sometimes

you shouldn't feel your doing the worng thing at all you do it how ever you feel

and congratulations and good luck on the new baby :)

Answer 5

If that is what you want then do it. Good luck!

Answer 6

Do whatever makes you feel comfortable.  

Answer 7

I am kind of feeling the same way. My mother wants to be there and im sure others will try to be there also, but all i want is the father. I understand why you would want to. I know i am going to be under a lot of stress and i know the stress will only be harder on me if i am worrying about others being there in this hectic time!

Answer 8

You're a strong woman so you do what you're comfortable with and what your heart tells you.  If you did want just someone there who'd help get you stuff and help you focus, you would maybe consider a doula but I'm just throwing it out there in case you hadn't thought of that.  I'm sure you have but I wanted to make sure!

Best of luck!  You're a strong woman and will make a great mamma.

Answer 9

Do whatever you want! If you're close to your dad however, he might be upset he didn't get to wait. Ask him what his thoughts are.

  I think you should do what makes you comfortable.  Stop thinking about all the negative stuff.  

  Embrass that new baby and start a new life.  Today is the first day to the rest of your life.

  Your dad sounds like a keeper.   Follow the sun.

   Good luck and blessings to you.
