A doctor’s appointment is a private event.

Would you be willing to have your mother-in-law go with you to a doctor’s appointment, or would that cross the line?

This woman was pregnant for the first time after trying for so long.

Her husband didn’t want her going alone to her first doctor’s appointment, so he suggested taking his mom.

She was honest about how she felt about that idea, and now, she’s wondering if she messed up.

AITA for saying I don’t want my MIL in my doctors’ appointment?

I’m (35F) 5 weeks pregnant. It is my very first pregnancy.

My husband and I are over the moon!

We’ve been trying to get pregnant for almost a year.

This woman and her husband just found out they are pregnant.

I found out last Wednesday, 7 days ago. That was a day before his fertility doctor’s appointment.

So life has been crazy!

I’ve told my parents and he told his parents, that’s all.

No friends, nothing like that. We are waiting for the 12-week mark.

She asked her mom to come with her to her first doctor’s appointment.

Here is the issue: I have an appointment on Friday, and unfortunately, he will be working. He cannot take the time off to go with me.

So I asked my mom and she is super excited to be able to go.

The appointment was at 5:30 pm.

But there had been a change of schedule.

But their secretary texted me asking me to come at 3 pm.

I mentioned it to my husband.

I said I was gonna text mom to see if she would still be able to go. If not, I’d go alone, no problem.

He suggested she take his mom to the appointment instead.

He said he’d feel better if I went with company, so if my mom couldn’t, he’d ask his mom.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I like my MIL, I really do, but she is not someone I’d like to be with while in the doctors’ office.

He got upset when she said no.

I told that to my husband.

He was like, “Why?”

I just told him I wouldn’t feel comfortable having her there, that’s all.

I can tell he got a little upset, not a lot, but a little.

She’s unsure if she said the right thing.

I totally understand. But, I mean… she is not my mom or my husband.

I intend to have a conversation with him as soon as I get home. I just want to explain. But honestly, AITA?

Was she wrong to be honest with her husband about how she felt?
