I tried reasoning with my husband, but he says I should be appreciative because his sister loves our baby so much. My SIL is now upset with me and says I have no right to stop her from waiting outside the delivery room. I explained that when I was in labor, I didn’t really want to think about anybody else and that I would call her when I was ready to receive visitors. Several days later she said she really wanted to be there and be the first to see our baby and stated she would wait outside my room. I again reiterated my desire for privacy. She relented, and suggested staying with me while I was in labor and leaving the room when the baby started coming out. I was horrified and told her I wanted to have privacy. Recently she told me she really wants to be there at the delivery room when I give birth.
She has been in regular contact with me throughout my pregnancy to a point where I found her attention a little overwhelming. My SIL is infertile yet she loves babies and children. SIL’s Unwelcome Intrusion in the Delivery Room: I am expecting my first baby and having problems with my SIL.
