at the hospital when you check in they will ask you who your labor coach is/ who is permitted in the room and who can get up to the maternity floor. (my coaches were husband and my sister).... they will give wrist bans to those people ....NO ONE else will get through. So you should be good with MIL not being able to get in until after baby is born and you ok visitors.
i know every hospital is different but just verify this with the front desk ladies and they should take care of everything. now days they are pretty strict with this policy because of baby kidnapping so you shouldnt have to worry about her sneaking in on you while you are in labor or delivery room.
and by the way...i wouldve gone off on her if she had asked me about stretch marks!! how rude!
hope i am not getting annoying...i am just really excited for you!
Re: Toni...
Thanks Shari! I'm going to Underwood - they say they're pretty strict about it and we get 3 bracelets. I'm giving one to my H and my mom. So I've made it pretty clear she cant come up. I just worry about her sneaking up if I'm there during regular visiting hours. But I have no problem kicking her out.
Yea - I was not thrilled about the stretch mark question. That's the second time she's asked too. Last time was earlier in the pregnancy. I just don't understand why she needs to know that?
