A pregnant woman has banned her mother from the labour ward after a previous ''incident''.
The unnamed woman was horrified when, as her first baby was crowning, her mother reached into her vagina to pull the baby's hair, in order to be the first person to touch the tot.
The woman explained on Reddit: ''After 20 minutes of pushing, her head was crowning. This is when my soul left my body.
''My mother exclaimed 'her hair is so beautiful' and reached INTO my vagina and pulled her hair just to feel it, and I guess to be the first one to touch her.
''By this point it was too late to kick her out. My daughter came into this world with a lock of hair on the top of her head sticking straight up.
''I was mortified, and am making it to where she's not allowed in the delivery room in the future.''
However, the woman admitted her mother is not taking her exclusion well and she is worried that their relationship has been irreparably damaged.
She said: ''Last week, I jokingly mentioned to her that I would not be allowing her and stated the reason, and she became really defensive.
''And I know people are going to say 'it's your choice who's in the delivery room', but keep in mind, I will hear of my choice to ban her for the rest of my life.
''My choice may also affect our personal relationship permanently because she's just that offended and fails to see why boundaries were violated.''
