It's a Girl!

Baby didn't want to cooperate and open her legs for a long time, but she finally did. They confirmed that it's a girl.
Her name will be Amelia Isis Marie.
This ultrasound shows a due date of January 20th by the baby's size.
Let me ponder this to you.....I planned on being in the room for the birth. They only allow 2 people in the room. Of course the father will be one of them.
This is my 11th grandchild but his mom's FIRST grandchild.
I'm finding myself feeling selfish for wanting to be in the room. Of course Jasmine would rather I be in there than his mom too, but I'm thinking maybe she should be,
So many people are telling me no, for me to go in, that is what mothers of the one giving birth do.
She only has 3 sons though, which leaves her out of ever being the mother of the one giving birth.
With my son's babies I was allowed to stay in the room until the head was showing then they kicked me out. I didn't feel hurt over being made to leave, but it wasn't my first grandchild either.
There is still some time to think about it, and really it's up to my daughter when it comes right down to the actual time.

Why don´t you talk to the doctor? Maybe he will make an allowance.

@marsha32 You can tell him that your daughter will feel better. And that her MIL only has sons.

Talk to your daughter, I think it would be gracious of you to allow his mother to be in there but it really is your daughters choice.

Yeah, like I said, it might be a last minute decision on my daughters part.
With my middle daughter, she had the epidural and hubby wouldn't stand in the back where the needle was going in, that was mom's job. I can see this daughter also getting the epidural as she doesn't do well with pain either.

You are her mom, it is your place. His mom has said bad things about her pretending to be pregnant or getting pregnant on purpose, is that going to help her in delivery?

Yeah, you know things that others don't know. She also told them that if they don't get their lives together then she will make sure the baby is taken away as soon as it's born.

The choice would be your daughter's for sure, but I do understand what your saying. If this will be the only chance his mother will get to have the opportunity maybe she should be in there.

They wouldn't let her off work to make it to this ultrasound. I found that a little sad.

Go with your heart on this one. I was on the cell phone with my granddaughter during her last birthing. It was weird. She went off for a few minutes, had the baby and was back on.

@crazyhorseladycx I'm not sure if I could handle being in for a C-section at all....unless I could not see the actually cutting open part.

@marsha32 when the daughter'd our first grandbabe, i stayed right outside the door, but left 'em to've that time fer 'emselves. 's soon 's that young'un t'was born 'n whisked off to the nursery (she'd a few hiccups), all left her 'lone'n i went'n to hold her hand 'n comfort her. with the 2nd, she'd a c-section 'n wished fer me to be there, so i was. like i said, hon, 'tis a most tough call.

You'll also be there and will be able to hold and cuddle her once she does arrive.
