What should I do (advice )

Well now that im getting close to my due date I know my child’s father wants to be there for the birth of my son even tho he wasn’t really around for my pregnancy. But here’s the thing my family does not like him at all and only 2 people can be in the delivery room which obviously I want my child’s father and my mom to be there but I do not want any drama going on at the hospital. And also my bd wants me to go home with him and baby so he can be around my son but truthfully i don’t feel
Comfortable with that I’m a first time mom and I would like to be with my family … I’m trying to avoid any drama at this point because I know my family does not like his family so I’m
Just stuck at the point I don’t want to create me arguing or nothing I really just want a have a good birth but I know my bd will make me feel so bad if I don’t let him in the birth room or let us go home with him just so much to think about 🤔

Have him at the birth but tell both parties they have to grin and bear it whilst you are in hospital as it isn’t about them. They are their to support you so need to put their differences aside.
If you don’t already live with him why start now? You need to go home to somewhere you are happy, comfortable and supported. Tell him he’s more than welcome to come round to be with the baby etc but again both parties need to put their differences to one side. Babies are only new born for so long so he should be able to be around him but most importantly you need to be comfortable. Those around you need to look after you so you can look after baby! Good luck.

My husband and my mom do not get along very well, but they both behaved during my labor because they knew that any negative energy would impact the labor process. I 1000000% agree with , you’re gonna have to put a huge foot down and tell them to leave their issues at the entrance of the hospital. And if need be, you can tell the nurses to escort them out if they start drama. If they get mad, that’s their own fault. Labor is about you and your baby. ❤️ Good luck momma!
