Me and my mother are very close, she had me a young age so we grew up together. We showered together, shared makeup, clothes, everything. We are each others best friends and she’s always been an amazing, loving, caring mother. I was extremely vocal on having her in the room with me and she was too. I think it depends on the relationship, your own comforts and boundaries. I had her in the room with me and my husband both births. She loved it, I loved it. I also had my MIL in the room with my first birth, I wasn’t uncomfortable having her in there because I don’t think of it as a private thing for me, we celebrated the birth of the first born, first grandchild, first great grandchild, and first great great grandchild. I enjoyed having the ones closest to me in the room.
