If you are delivering your baby in a hospital, please talk with the hospital staff about who you do/do not want in the delivery room and recovery room. I am not sure what their policies are, but you have EVERY RIGHT to NOT have certain people in the room with you and your baby. Since you are not legally married to this person, I would assume that you can put him on the "not allowed to visit" list, as he may have to prove his paternity if you deny him access to the room...I am not sure. Please talk with the hospital staff, each nurse when his/her shift ends/begins...so that you can know that your labor, delivery and recovery within the hospital walls will be peaceful and not include unwanted people.

If this person has emotionally, mentally, physically or sexually assaulted you in any way, you can talk with someone about your legal rights, and your concern for the safety of you and your unborn child. Please call the free, anonymous number for the National Domestic Abuse: 1-800-799-SAFE.

How are you doing?
