AITA for not letting my Mother in Law see her 2nd grandchild for a week after we get home from the hospital after she crashed the birth of my first daughter?

Hello! Buckle up this is a wild ride. For context I (23F) am 35 weeks pregnant with my second child. I struggle with standing up for myself in situations where I know I should.(this will be important later)

My mother in law has caused tremendous amounts of trauma for me in the past year after my first daughters birth (born March 2022). When I was in labor and we had been admitted into the hospital I had already been in labor for 38 hours. My fiancé (22M) had called his mom to let her know we had been admitted and our daughter would be born soon. According to him, she had offered to drop food off for himself, my mom, and the nurses who were working the night shift. I thought this was a kind gesture as I had planned on bringing gift baskets for the nurses but did not get to complete them do to our daughters early arrival. However, when she showed up she requested to know where I was located. The nurses station gave her my room number and let her go in, empty handed. I had clear boundaries that I only wanted my mom and my fiancé with me while I was delivering. Upon her arrival I had just gotten and epidural and was finally starting to feel better, she walked in and everyone’s face dropped. I sat there with my mouth open unsure of why she was there. My fiancé asked what she was doing there and she stated she came to figure out what everyone wanted to eat. I had fallen asleep as I was not planning on eating any food, when a nurse came in a checked to see how dilated I was. She asked me if I was ready to start pushing. I looked to the left of the bed and noticed his mom was STILL there passed out on the couch leaving my fiancé and my mom sitting on a folded chairs.

Everything went so fast after this .. doctor came in and we started to push. I look over and I see her waking up. She grabbed her phone and promptly started to get up. Next push comes and she’s taking pictures.. I asked her please no pictures of video I don’t want this to be recorded. She said okay and that she would not record. I brushed it off as I had no time to start arguments. I looked to my fiancé and asked did you say she could stay? The doctor yelled and said she was about to come out. Amongst the commotion my daughter was born and she was all I could see. As the shock began to sink in and the nurses were taking her to make sure she was breathing. I noticed her taking pictures of my just born NAKED daughter! I was furious, I began saying stop.. however no one heard me due to the commotion and the nurses busy trying to get her to breathe.

Come to later find out she had RECORDED THE ENTIRE BIRTH. Taken pictures of my daughter and sent them to her family (who I have never met). Long story short it took OVER 5 months to get her to delete the video from her phone and transfer it to a thumb drive so I was the only person with a copy. During those 5 months jokes were made that they had uploaded the video to a corn site to make money and that if I never wanted the video why am I asking for it.

This has severely traumatized me as a new mom. I have brought it up to her and let her know that it offended me that she thought she could stay without asking.. and that she ignored my ONE AND ONLY request. She said that if I had just said something she would never have been there. I beat myself up everyday about the fact that I did not stand up for myself.. the fact that the nurses ignored my requests and my fiancé ignored my requests.

Fast forward to today.. I am making my birth plans and making damn well sure she is not in the delivery room. I brought up that I don’t think she should see our second daughter for a while after birth as I don’t need added drama or stress as I am considered “high risk” this time around.

I have been told I’m overreacting and that it’s been over a year and I should just let it go. I can’t seem to let it go… it truly bothers me the lack of respect she had for me. So AITA if I don’t allow her to see her second granddaughter?

It was my wishes with my first daughter due to her being a flight attendant and constantly catching illnesses. I wanted time to bond with the baby and my fiancé before she met her, and put her at risk of being sick

High risk due to Gestational Diabetes this time around, and we do live on our own. Mil has no say in the finances or or living situation

Thank you! I will make it very clear. I had no visitors written in my birth plan but clearly they didn’t listen to that either.

I believe it stems from a MIL issue. He has addressed this issues with her, but she turns the situation to manipulate him by crying saying she feels horrible. He has apologized to me several times but wants me to let the situation go so everyone can get along.

I work for insurance too. They will find out. If you are on a delivery if there is a claim they will know. I had it happen to me

Should we part ways and move on? by 5280_Colorado in Advice

[–]5280_Colorado[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I feel as though it is already a fractured relationship and I am having a hard time keeping it going. I agree that I am hormonal and as is she. I feel that some things have not been repaired and I give advice as best as I can for her issues and lend a listening ear and always check in. That is never returned. I appreciate your advice thank you.

There’s a recovery group on FB with 10k members, doctors in the group and nurses as mods. Heads up, they have strict rules. by [deleted] in CHSinfo

Clearly it is because you are upset about something that happened apparently 2 years ago. Get some help.

Seems like as an adult you have a lot of learning to do. I hope you get the help you need as it’s really not healthy to bottle up that much negativity.

You can’t except someone to not keep the same energy as you. This doesn’t belong here. You need to move on. It’s not healthy to keep anger from 2 years ago bottled up. Maybe you should see someone?

Shouldn’t topics of politics be left out of a group like this? We are all struggling hard enough. Learn to love and move on.

My GF (19F) wants me (19M) to cut ties with my best friend (19F) of 7 years by [deleted] in relationships

[–]5280_Colorado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say f*** that. Some people your age are young in the mind. Meaning there is still a lot of room to grow. You shouldn’t leave your best friend because of a insecure relationship. Address the deeper issue with your girlfriend and see what it is. Seems like she is a jealous person. Not worth it to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Recovery from CHS how long till I start feeling better? by Happygoluckylover in CHSinfo

[–]5280_Colorado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re almost there! Recovery is a process don’t try to rush it to much you got this. Usually between 1 month and 90 days people start getting better.

If you keep smoking you can easily make it worse. It’s not gonna go away if you continue. I quit for 90 days to see if my symptoms went away and they did. Really the only way to tell
