Delivery room - who's in who's out

Re: Delivery room - who’s in who’s out

Thanks to me ending up in my hubby’s hospital where a GYN resident examined me, and a VERY close friends of ours being a GYN surgeon at the hospital where I had my surgery…..unfortunately I’m way too familiar with seeing MULTIPLE people (men & women) who have seen me naked. :hinna: (Our friend was not involved in my care b/c I had a great surgeon who knew it would be awkward for me but several his residents/nurses did and I’ve seen them at social events several times since then!). No matter how professional they are….it still makes me cringe. :bummer:

No personal experience but a close friend of mine schedule to deliver on October is having this issue. Her MIL expects to be in the delivery room! :smack: For the sake of not causing drama, right now all she does is smile/nod when MIL brings it up & changes the topic. I think the first time she made a comment about how she doesn’t know the hospital policy and will leave it up to her doctor (total lie btw lol).

In the U.S., all you have to do is tell the nurses who you want in the room with you and who you don’t want. THEY will be happy to kick everyone else out/keep people from entering the room on your behalf.
