Hi all
I am due next year with bub no3. I had originally asked a good friend who I had been close to for years to come into the birth with me along with my husband. Over the last few months she has changed a lot and upset me with the lack of effort she puts into our friendship now which is fine and I understand people drift apart but I have realised that I really don't want her in the room anymore with me as it would make me uncomfortable. Is it ok to tell her I've changed my mind and how do I to about it? Or so I just suck it up and keep with the plan? Thanks!

I would tell her. Giving birth is a very important and special moment. You don't need to be stressed or less than completely comfortable with who is in the room. If being direct is too hard for you then tell her the closer it gets the more you've realised that you really want it to be just you and your husband as it's a very special moment for the two of you. Try not to stress too much about offending your friend. This is about you and what you want. Good luck!
I'd just tell her you n hubby have decided for just u n hubby this time round but need a babysitter on call if she is up for it.
