Baby due very soon!!

I am due to have my baby in 25 days and the hospital that I will deliver at just posted a new rule for the ob.. I can not have any visitors and can only have 1 person in the room with me while I deliver.. That one person is the only person who will be...

aloud on the 2nd (ob) floor for me untill I am released. Due to the swine flu they are keeping it locked down. Do you think this is fair.. Im very stressed out about it. I want my boyfriend (babys dad) in the room with me I love him and he has every right to see his first born child born. But this is my first baby and I want my mom there with me. She has been there for every good thing in my life and every bad thing.this will be a combination im pretty sure.. I need her there to hold my hand. Im terrified. On the 11th my nephew was born and I was there to watch my sister deliver and it was a grand ordeal and I think my boyfriend and my mother are very important to be there with me during this experiance... Im very stressed and have been having bad dreams about going in to labor and being all alone.. Whats your input and advice on my situation. Am I stressin over nothing!???

nobody has the right to tell you any different. you have the right to have both there with you. it's just your right. as long as they both are not sick they cant do a damn thing to stop you from having them with you. and I dont care whut anybody thinks. trust me,when you go into labor they will listen and do whut you say. it's just all a matter of who's the real B*** and that has to b the one in labor. trust me I been threw 3 pregnancys and had it my way the whole time. and yes I was being a b*** then and still am. and no it doesnt sound right whut there trying to do.

Unfortunatley they actually do have the right to tell you how many people you can and cannot have. It's not fair but its perfectly legal. I know how you feel I wanted as many people as would fit lol it distracted me from everything that was going on. However I am sure your hospital is trying to do everything they can to keep newborn babies safe. At that point if they even catch a cold (or you do for that matter) it could be incredibly life threatning. The thing I would suggest to you is ask if you can have two people. Ask them if it would be OK to have your mother and your babies father. Most hospitals will be OK with it (though I cannot say for sure yours would be). If they wont let you have two at a time maybe you can have people switch off. Maybe your mother gets to help you through all the first contractions and your epideral and what not, but then your boyfriend is there for the delivery (or vice versa) that way they are still helping out but you are adhearing to the rules.

Hope that helps
