Only if I was asked to be there. My brother and his wife just had baby number 5 and they asked my mum to be there this time. She`s never seen a birth and hasn`t shut up about it since lol.

I would never ask to be there, but if my daughter (i have 2 boys, so not an issue) wanted me there i would be there. Otherwise, no. if it was my daughter-in-law, same thing. If she asked b/c she wants me there, then no problem, but if she doesn`t ask, then no.

ONLY if I was asked. I would NOT be offended either way.

I honestly think I couldnt have my babies without my mom there. I hope my daughters and I are just as close and shell want and need me there as much as I want and need MY mom there.

It would depend on what my daughters wanted. When I gave birth to my DD my Hubby, my mama, and my best friend were there. It was wonderful to have my mama be there to support me! She didn`t see all of my womanly parts, but she wiped my forehead and was my strength. When the pain got to be too much she would tell me what to do and even in labor I couldn`t disobey her! Lol

I believe it is for mom to be and dad to be, not me. I didnt have anyone but my hubby there and would expect the same of my kids when they have their kids. I will wait til it is visiting time to meet my grandchild :) I dont feel the delivery room is for anyone but mom and dad/partner to be but thats just me :)

I would do whatever the mama wanted to do... I didn`t let anyone even be in the hospital while I had my son, then my in laws came to visit ASAP, but my mom was too busy to come until the next day... now when I have my daughter my MIL will come stay and help me because my mom is a piece of *@#$ so... thats that

I think it`s weird, everyone`s different and I respect that, but I can`t imagine anyone with me except my husband.

My mom didn`t want to be in the room with me, and I didn`t want her there either bc, like mumbo, I didn`t want anyone to see me in pain, especially my mother. But... I would really like to be there when my daughter gives birth. However, I won`t impose if she doesn`t want me there.

Most of the time it seems to just be the father of the baby and the women having the child. But these days alot of girls deliverign want atleast there own mom there too- even dad- but alot of women have a good relationship with there MIL. For my delivery I invited (for in the room) my hubby, my mom, my MIL and my MIL`s mom (my hubby;s grandmother which is basically his mom) but only my mom and hubby got to c himcome out- the others came right in as he was getting vitals b/c of the distance. I will have them in the room again.

IF I had/have a son, I would go to the hospital, but I would not go into the room unless my DIL and I had a really good relationship or she didn`t have a mother. I will DEF be there when my girls give birth, no if`s and`s or but`s! My MIL came to the hospital with my first and was mad at me and my mom because she wanted to be in the room. First off, we are not cool like that and secondly, I am NOT telling my mother to leave so you can be happy! I do not need anyone else looking in my sugar walls! It is weird enough for my mother to see it when it is `mature`!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
