As one commenter aptly put it, "Giving birth is not a spectator sport." It's a special moment, sure, but it's also a highly medical one. Lots of things can go wrong at worst, and at best, it's excruciatingly painful. Most people don't like sharing their deepest and difficult moments with folks they're not the closest to. Even if those people are technically family. When I'm ailing, I don't want anyone to see me except maybe my mother or my closest friend. Certainly not my extended family. You're allowed to have boundaries.
